Bind them to regular keys that the game will recognize (but that you don't
already use for other commands.)

I have my thumb button bound permanently to generate a backspace - almost
every game recognizes that as a bindable key and it's far enough away from
the WASD area that I never use it on the keyboard. And as a bonus, this
binding still lets me do the "thumb for pageback" thingie in IE.
