I believe this is a limitation of the KVM switch, not a limitation of the mouse or the computer.

It's not really the KVM switch, as the buttons work on a windows computer connected through the PS2 connector and the kvm switch. It also doesn't work if I cut out the KVM switch entirely but leave the usb converters. To be clear, i'm going mac mini->usb/ps2 converter->intellimouse's ps2/usb converter->intellimouse.

If I plug this same chain into a windows box, the back and forwards buttons work perfectly. It seems that Microsoft didn't do a good job on their OSX drivers, surprisingly enough.
