I have a fancy mouse that does all kinds of gaming things that I don't want or need.

Today the side button quit me out of an important Google Meeting, so I wanted to prevent that ever happening.

Fortunately, while I could not find a GUI, you can do this with the command line.

### 1. Get the device list

```xinput list```

### 2. Get the mappings

Find the number associated with the device and supply it like so:

```xinput list 9```

### 3. Change the mappings

Count from 1 upwards for each label, and cancel out the ones you don't want by replacing that number with a zero. So for mine I used:

```xinput set-button-map 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 0 0```

(Remember, 9 is the number of my device)
