The Logitech Signature M650 over Bluetooth exposes its side buttons in the
normal mouse report, but the reported BTN_SIDE/BTN_EXTRA events are short
click-like events emitted around button release rather than physical
press/release events with the real hold duration. The device appears to reserve
the held side-button state for a built-in gesture mode: holding a side button
long enough, or holding it while using the wheel for horizontal scrolling, can
mean the normal mouse report never emits a usable side-button press at all.
That makes the buttons unusable for standard Linux hold actions such as
push-to-talk, drag modifiers, or remapping rules that depend on key-up timing.
When HID++ 2.0 feature 0x1b04, SpecialKeysMseButtons /
REPROG_CONTROLS_V4, temporarily diverts the same controls, the device sends
diverted-control notifications with real press and release timing. This series
adds quirk-gated support for those notifications and enables it for the
Bluetooth Signature M650.
Before enabling diversion, the driver verifies that each mapped control is
present in the device's HID++ control table and is advertised as a divertable
mouse control.
The diverted M650 controls are reported as BTN_BACK and BTN_FORWARD. Logitech's
Signature M650 getting-started page labels these physical controls as
Back/Forward buttons and describes their default page-navigation behavior:

The reprogrammable-control support is per-product and parses the full HID++
divertedButtonsEvent pressed-control list, so it can support devices with more
buttons without relying on a single last-control release heuristic. Only the
Signature M650 opts in for now. Other Logitech devices should only be enabled
after their HID++ control IDs and divertedButtonsEvent behavior are captured
and verified.
There is evidence that this is not unique to the M650. A prior MX Anywhere 3
patch used the same HID++ feature to fix thumb buttons that only activated on
release, and Logitech documents side-button + wheel horizontal scrolling for
both the MX Anywhere 3/3S and Signature M650. Solaar's device reports and rules
documentation also show HID++ divertable back/forward controls on MX Master 3
and MX Master 3S class devices. This series remains conservative and only
enables the device tested here.
Tested with a Logitech Signature M650 L over Bluetooth, HID ID
0005:046D:B02A. Baseline evtest showed short release-time BTN_SIDE/BTN_EXTRA
events. Earlier local testing of the same HID++ diversion path showed real
hold-duration press/release events, including holds longer than 4 seconds for
both buttons.
