So I recently bought a cheap gaming mouse as a temporary thing(it was on sale for like 2 euro, and I prefer the size and design of gaming mouses over more generic ones), while im saving up for something better, and it has 2 extra buttons on the side. When I click them in the browser one goes to the previous page and the other goes back a page, or in Spotify it changes songs. I tried to look around for a bit on how to reprogram them but none of the solutions work. Is there some way to change what the buttons do, since I would love to use it for things like Discord push to talk or things in creativity programs like Photoshop. The mouse did not come with any instructions or guide, so its just me looking around. From what I have found out so far is that in devices and printers the mouse shows up as a keyboard, and when right clicking it reveals mouse settings and keyboard settings on the dropdown menu. Any help appreciated, since I cant live without shortcuts, and just using keyboard shortcuts is inconvenient. Thanks!

Update: When going into a game and binding a key to the buttons it doesnt show up as mouse 4 or somethig but Page Up and page down. So as far as I get it, the mouse emulates a keyboard with the page up and page down keys. Still looking for a solution to my problem.
