Yes, disabling the side buttons does work around it, but a pain if that was
one of the attractions.

Bob (N7XY) did give an RG58 ferrite a quick try, but no luck, need to try
more turns, ferrite ring etc. - not sure if its the lead or the mouse itself
that¹s picking up the RF, but its causing the electronics in the mouse to
think I've pressed the buttons! I supposed that could be described as a
wireless mouse operation - HiHi!
