Reset Mighty Mouse settings after every reboot

I have found some similar, but not the same, issues. I like the Mighty Mouse. Better than the Magic Mouse, mostly because of buttons 3 and 4. I use two different Mighty Mouses between 2 Intel Mac MIni's and an intel Macbook Air with macOS Ventura 13.1. The oldest of the 3 is 2019.


Everything about the Mighty Mouse works perfectly. On the Mouse panel in System Settings, I see a button for Mighty Mouse settings when it is plugged in.


Changes to items like secondary click survive a reboot. I assume because that setting is not specific to each individual mouse, but applies to "any" mouse plugged in. But anything I change in the dialog when I click Mighty Mouse Settings does not survive a reboot. AKA the reason I like this mouse, button 3 and 4.


Everything I find online and here is from 10.6 and 10.7. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Mac mini, macOS 13.1

Sounds like a compatibility issue...might be time to move on, sad but true.
