Hi Victor,
Yes it was certainly a good read and i got some ideas from it, but the code has changed quite a lot since 2017 and the patches correspond to the current code only for about 10-15%.
Maybe someone from the Spice team can suggest a patch to add additional mouse buttons - i am sure that it would be a matter of minutes to an hour for anyone who is involved with coding the spice-vdagent project to create a general patch idea to add additional mouse buttons
It is just a matter of forwarding them to the guest - for some reason it was decided not to add them.
thanks!

You can take a look at this proposal to adding horizontal wheel
