Mouse back and forward thumb buttons are not working on Ubuntu 19.04 using vmware 15.1. I don't think it's the VM though because the buttons do work with a Windows VM. And of course on the host computer, too. I have a AULA Ghost Shark gaming mouse.

add this to .vmx file of your Vm(just append it to the end of the file):

mouse.vusb.enable = "TRUE"
mouse.vusb.useBasicMouse = "FALSE"
usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"

make sure the VM and vmware is turned off(because if you will change it while VM is on it will not affect and the file changes will override when you close the VM - that what happened to me).
