El Capitan and Microsoft Mouse (IntelliPoint) Not Working

After installing the El Capitan GM, the forward/back buttons (side buttons, 4 & 5) on my Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 are only registering as left mouse buttons. The most recent driver, Microsoft Mouse 8.2 is installed and shows up in the System Preferences, but appears to not be functioning. MicrosoftMouseHelper is in the login items. Suggestions?

    Install BetterTouchTool and configure the Normal Mice tab to add both buttons. Use Mimic Standard Gestures as the Action and there is a forwards and back option.
