i have been trying to get xinput to work at startup with no luck .
right now in startup apps i have the following code
"xinput set-button-map `xinput list | grep 'Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse' | grep -o [0-9][0-9]` 8 1 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12"
which does nothing .
i can of course manually copy and paste the xinput cmd in the terminal for each session : which works . but id like a permanent solution .
thanks for any help.

figured it out . for other new users interested heres what to do
open terminal , type xinput list
copy entire device name exactly as it is
then go to startup applications, add
in command field ,type : xinput set-button-map "<paste device name>"
(note the quotes)
could not get it to work with device id , but this does it for me
