Razer Naga 2014 buttons remapping

The problem: Naga 2014 has 12 buttons that are exactly keyboard's '1-0,-,='. I would like to remap these buttons to something else.

$ lsusb | grep -i razer
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1532:011b Razer USA, Ltd # Razer BlackWidows 2013
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1532:0040 Razer USA, Ltd # Razer Naga 2014

What I did:
First, I followed that topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1181482

After

remote_id=$(
  xinput list |
  sed -n 's/.*Naga.*id=\([0-9]*\).*keyboard.*/\1/p'
)
[ "$remote_id" ] || exit

mkdir -p /tmp/xkb/symbols
cat >/tmp/xkb/symbols/custom <<\EOF
xkb_symbols "remote" {
    key <AE01>   {      [0xffca]       };
    key <AE02>   {      [0xffcb]       };
    key <AE03>   {      [0xffcc]       };
    key <AE04>   {      [0xffcd]       };
    key <AE05>   {      [0xffce]       };
    key <AE06>   {      [0xffcf]       };
    key <AE07>   {      [0xffd0]       };
    key <AE08>   {      [0xffd1]       };
    key <AE09>   {      [0xffd2]       };
    key <AE10>   {      [0xffd3]       };
    key <AE11>   {      [0xffd4]       };
    key <AE12>   {      [0xffd5]       };
};
EOF

setxkbmap -device $remote_id -print | sed 's/\(xkb_symbols.*\)"/\1+custom(remote)"/' | xkbcomp -I/tmp/xkb -i $remote_id -synch - $DISPLAY 2>/dev/null

Mouse' buttons become as F13-F24, but after assigning them to any actions the corresponding keyboard's key becomes unavailable, i.e. cannot type '1-0,-,=' , they work only with Shift.

After applying rules in /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb

keyboard:usb:v1532p0040*
KEYBOARD_KEY_7001e=f13
KEYBOARD_KEY_7001f=f14
KEYBOARD_KEY_70020=f15
KEYBOARD_KEY_70021=f16
KEYBOARD_KEY_70022=f17
KEYBOARD_KEY_70023=f18
KEYBOARD_KEY_70024=f19
KEYBOARD_KEY_70025=f20
KEYBOARD_KEY_70026=f21
KEYBOARD_KEY_70027=f22
KEYBOARD_KEY_7002d=f23
KEYBOARD_KEY_7002e=f24

nothing happens at all.

Question:
Is there any workable solution?

P.S. I also tried xbindkeys, but as keycodes of mouse 1-12 buttons and keyboard's 1-0,-,= are the same I got the same action.

setxkbmap -device $remote_id -print | sed 's/\(xkb_symbols.*\)"/\1+custom(remote)"/' | xkbcomp -I/tmp/xkb -i $remote_id -synch - $DISPLAY 2>/dev/nul

then reconfigure the buttons for your needs
