Mouse side buttons stopped working

Hi! I’m using a Razer Deathadder elite. The side and top buttons stopped working. xinput test <id> doesn’t output anything when pushing those buttons

I believe it may have happened after installing openrazer-meta and polychromatic, but I’m not sure. I had uninstalled those later on. I tried reinstalling them again, it did not fix the buttons. Neither when still installed or after uninstalling them once more
Please help!

Impossible to say.

I have two Razor mouse and both work with all buttons.

Perhaps this might be helpful, an entry in the manjaro archive forum: Razer Synapse for Linux - General Discussion - Manjaro Linux Forum. It mentions an archlinux wiki and a troubleshooting page at openrazer.
