Small update

I noticed that I am missing the middle button of the mouse after all. So I replaced forword with the btn_middle. The whole thing looks like this:

# Override the mouse buttons for the kensington expert mouse.
evdev:name:Kensington Expert Mouse:*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90003=back
 KEYBOARD_KEY_90004=btn_middle

If you want to keep the forward button, then you should be able to set the combo left + right as middle in your OS native settings?
