Remap thumb buttons on the Evoluent Vertical Mouse under Linux

I use an Evoluent Vertical Mouse (VM4R). One of its advantage is the number of buttons. Instead of their defaults, I’d like to remap them to keypresses. I want to do this system-wide without an extra service.

This can be done via the hwdb subsystem. This has the advantage of being a fairly generic solution, which allows remapping any key/button to any other.
