Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] HID: Add full support for Logitech Unifying receivers

Hi Markus,

I got some information for you. Apparently, it won't be possible to
enable this thumb button right now.
To enable it, the Windows driver put the mouse in a kind of debug mode
that need to be handled properly, which is not the case as of today.

I was able to make it work at home because there were different series
of M705, the latest sending the thumb button by default.

Sorry,
Benjamin
