Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.
Also... TBH if a mouse doesn't work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It's not like it's a mechanical keyboard or something.

It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.

I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn't even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I'm stuck with, given that I can't afford a new one.
Just be aware that be doing this you’ll likely end up with a buggy, broken OS, as these things aren’t just made to be removed by some random scripts.
Your mouse is likely supported if you search. https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/
My mouse isn't Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.
Ods are that a similar to is available. Just gotta search for it.
Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.

Naga X is among the supported devices. You just searched for Razor instead of Razer, most likely.
Edit: I've read your other comment. Linux Mint may not have the latest kernel that supports your mouse properly. I'd suggest a rolling release distro like Fedora, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or... Arch (via Arch Installer or EndeavourOS to make your life easier) instead.
OpenRazer unfortunately doesn't support rebinding buttons.
Not yet anyway!
Time to ditch that mouse. Don't let it be your excuse for staying a hostage.
While not what you asked,
I have the same mouse model and use it with EndeavourOS and play WoW. I had the same issue with binding.....In the end I just created a win 10 VM through VirtualBox, passed through the Naga to the VM, installed the Razor software in the VM and did the button binding there. Saved the profile to the mouse. disconnected the USB passthough and the binds all worked in Linux. Note I had to once off disconnect and reconnect the usb cable for the changes to take effect in Linux. Also had to plug in a temp mouse so that I could control everything while the usb passthrough to the VM.
So yeah not what you wanted but there an easy way to get the binding to work...
Are you sure its the same as the Naga X, because I'm 99% sure the Naga X doesn't have on-board memory? The earlier and more expensive ones do, but the X is the cheapo option.
