-- Update --
It appears my xorg.conf file was reset, I've changed it back to what is below. Not sure if/when I messed it up, but we'll see if it helps. I do know that typically logging out and back in (ie. restarting X server) tends to fix the issue temporarily. If I still find my mouse to be rather sticky, I'll update again.

I know there's a few posts about Saitek R.A.T. mice, but I didn't see one for the R.A.T. 5. I'm hoping to provide some insight for anyone else who might have one of these.

Here's my current xorg.conf.

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "Mouse Remap"
   MatchProduct "Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.5 Mouse"
   MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event"
   Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 10 11 12 0 0 0 16 17"
EndSection

You can use xinput to list your devices, and then xinput test <id> to map out the buttons. Here's what I found.

1. Left mouse button

2. Mouse wheel click

3. Right mouse button

4. Mouse wheel up

5. Mouse wheel down

6. Not used

7. Not used

8. Back thumb button

9. Forward thumb button

10. Thumb wheel right

11. Thumb wheel left

12. Target button

13. Mode select

14. Mode select

15. Mode select

16. Sensitivity up

17. Sensitivity down

Anyways, I've had some luck with this so far, but I may come back to update this if things change. I'm pretty new to #!, but if anyone else stumbles across this post with a question, I'll try to help.
