Middle mouse button not working with "RAPOO 5G Wireless Device" mouse

One of my update last week destroyed the ability to use the middle mouse butten (press the mouse wheel) of my rapoo wireless mouse. Of course, since I only noticed this today, I cannot say which update it was...

$ lsusb
..
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 24ae:2001
..

$ egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices
..
N: Name="RAPOO RAPOO 5G Wireless Device"
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event15 
N: Name="RAPOO RAPOO 5G Wireless Device"
H: Handlers=kbd event16 mouse1 

$ journalctl -b | grep -i rapoo

I'm kind of stumped as to where to start looking for the problem. If you think it's useful, I'd try to post an update history, but that log is pretty long. This is arch, after all...

Use xinput or xev to find out what, if anything, the system is registering from the mouse.

Re: Middle mouse button not working with "RAPOO 5G Wireless Device" mouse

Use xinput or xev to find out what, if anything, the system is registering from the mouse.

For some reason, the issue disappeared today. Since it persisted across reboots and my attempt to recreate All Mouse Buttons Working from the wiki, I'll stay stumped (and probably stupid in a way I just don't see), I guess, but at least it's gone...

And I've learned two new ways to debug stuff, thanks, ngoonee, and thanks for your time!

For completeness, these are todays entries of xinput
