xinput set-button-map not actually changing button map
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
I want to un-map the last few buttons on my mouse because they're causing me issues.
The output of xinput list:
user@host:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Madcatz Mad Catz R.A.T.3 Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Corsair Corsair Gaming K63 Keyboard id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
...
The output of xinput get-button-map 8:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
I then ran:
xinput set-button-map 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 0 0 0
but xinput get-button-map 8 still gives me the same output.
I also would like this to be a permanent change.
Any ideas?

I tried adding an xorg config file to make the change permanent and that seemed to do the trick. This is what I followed (I had to edit it for my mouse):
Ask Ubuntu
For some reason doing it manually as I did in the question didn't work. I suppose it's because the mapping gets locked when the device is enabled or something? Only speculation.
