R.A.T 5 issues

I'm trying to set up my rat5 and seem to be having issues getting it to work properly i have already tried editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Mad Catz R.A.T. 5"
    MatchProduct "Mad Catz Mad Catz R.A.T.5 Mouse"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "Buttons" "21"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 11 10 7 6 8 0 0 0 0"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 11 10"
    Option "AutoReleaseButtons" "13 14 15"
EndSection

I have also tried all of the methods listed here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mad_Catz_Mouse

I have a laptop with optimus and i have bumblebee installed in order to use the nvidia card selectively i noticed theres a couple of extra X config files in /etc/bumblebee/ theres a xorg.conf.noveau xorg.conf.noveu and a xorg.conf.nvidia as well ad a xorg.conf.d directory i tried all the above methods in that folder as well.

The only other thing i tried was to change the Xmodmap and add

pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 11 10 7 6 8 0 0 0 0

But, Xmodmap -pp shows that it only applys the changes to the first ten buttons and since the main problems are with buttons 13 14 and 15 that method does not work either

gage@Gage_laptop_Arch:~$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 11 10 7 6 8 0 0 0 0"
Warning: Only changing the first 16 of 10 buttons.
gage@Gage_laptop_Arch:~$ xmodmap -pp
There are 10 pointer buttons defined.

    Physical        Button
     Button          Code
        1              1
        2              2

        4              4
        5              5
        6              0
        7              0
        8             11
        9             10
       10              7

gage@Gage_laptop_Arch:~$ 

Not sure what exactly is going wrong its almost like the system is completely ignoring any changes made to the xorg.conf or any of the related files ive even tried

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Mad Catz R.A.T. 5"
    MatchProduct "Mad Catz Mad Catz R.A.T.5 Mouse"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "Buttons" "21"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 11 10"
    Option "AutoReleaseButtons" "13 14 15"
EndSection

To try and disable all the buttons but, even that produces no change in the mouses behavior.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appretiated and thank you in advance.

P.S. i have made this exact same mouse work with debian and i believe DSL previously using the first method and am not sure why its not working on my current system.
