I actually had my MX5500 mouse torn apart the other day to clean it. The scroll wheel does have a push button switch underneath it. There are also two push button switches on the sides to detect a left/right tilt of the scroll wheel. Unfortunately, I only have Linux running under VMware so my mouse is virtualized. I don't think I can do anything to help you figure out how to get the button to work. This doesn't help you get the button working.. But at least you know there is one physically in the mouse.
