Description
It's fairly obvious that a 5-button mouse does not look like the current implementation in Input preferences. Maybe move the 4th and 5th button to the thumb area, divided into two?
Change History (3)

display the rest outside of the mouse with small rectangles.
Sounds good to me.

Well, 3 button mouse does not usually look like our representation either, the 3rd button is the mouse wheel.
The current code for drawing the buttons is a bit too limited, and ideally I'd go as far as recognizing the mouse from vendor/device ID and showing a more accurate representation of it. But we will need a lot of pictures of mouses, and people converting them to SVG or HVIF or something so they can be included :)
Possible solution: Limit mouse shape buttons to 3, in order: 1, 3, 2 -- display the rest outside of the mouse with small rectangles.
