I have the same mouse. the MX518 is not supported by any Mac drivers. You have to get the free program called USB Overdrive. It'll create a new pane in system preferences, and from there you can customize what each button does. Note that if you want a button to carry out the function of a key that normally automatically does stuff (like the F keys), you'll have to press the key while holding option to get the program to recognize it.
