I'm wanting to do this so when I'm gaming I can use the mouse button as my modifier "shift" key instead of having to actually hit ⇧+1 or ⇧+2. This will prevent me from having to take my fingers off of the "1-4" or "Q-R" keys in order to modify them to ⇧+1.
Some notes:
- No Mouse Software Available from what I could fine.
- KeyRemap4MacBook doesn't have the ability to directly let me do it, so I was hoping there might be someone who could help me with the code needed to add it to the program.
- It doesn't just have to work for this mouse only as I'll essential always use it as a third shift key.
- I think a global remap might be best.

I have no idea how much difference there is between KeyRemap4MacBook and Karabiner (minus Karabiner Elements), so I can't guarantee that this will work on older versions. KeyRemap4MacBook got a name change to "Karabiner" in 2014 I believe, so some of the documentation may not apply to it anymore.
I only have access to mac with Sierra, so I couldn't test it in any version.
