Let me resurrect this 2 years old thread, as I have received multiple 
reports since then, stating that some revisions of M705 don't have working 
thumb button.

Question mostly to the Logitech guys: Nestor, Olivier, could you please 
provide us with the sequence that needs to be sent to (certain revisisons 
of) M705 to let enter the debug mode, making the thumb button actually 
emit a USB message?

Thanks,
