MacOS mouse shortcuts are reset upon restart or shutdown

My custom mouse shortcuts reset after each restart or shutdown. I assign Mouse Button 5 to Mission Control and Mouse Button 4 to Application Windows.


I’ve tested various Bluetooth mice and don’t use any mouse software—such as Logitech Options or LinearMouse.


This issue appears to be specific to macOS 15.1, as I haven’t encountered it in the past 2 years of using macOS.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1

Yes, this is also happening to me. M4 Mac mini MacOS 15.1. usually have Mission Control set to mouse button 4... but when I restart or shutdown my Mac it doesn't remember my setting. 🤞 this gets fixed because I use Mission Control a lot.

Also happening to me.


It happens also when I so much as log out and log back in.


I filed a Feedback about this: FB15889167.


This has not been a problem on my current M2-based Mac mini that ran Sequoia 15.0.


If it helps anyone else, I’m using a Viper Razer 8KHz (I like it because it’s wired, ambidextrous, and has plenty of buttons).
