A million thanks to Damjan Georgievski who solved my problem!

For posterity (and myself when I inevitably google this problem again
in a year or so), here's a summary:-

evtest on this mouse gives:-
left-to-right-swipe -> Backspace, Super_L, Control_L (7002a, 700e3,
700e0 in hex)
right-to-left-swipe -> c, Super_L (70006, 700e3 in hex)

cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives the following relevant details for
bluetooth (above) and dongle-based (below) connections:-

I: Bus=0005 Vendor=17ef Product=6060 Version=0001
N: Name="Lenovo Mice N700"
P: Phys=DC:85:DE:54:9E:50

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=17ef Product=6060 Version=0111
N: Name="Dual Mode WL Touch Mouse N700"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:14.0-4/input0

This summarizes into the following /etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-LenovoN700.hwdb

evdev:input:b0005v17EFp6060e0001*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70006=prog1
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e3=reserved
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002a=prog2
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e0=reserved

evdev:input:b0003v17EFp6060e0111*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70006=prog1
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e3=reserved
 KEYBOARD_KEY_7002a=prog2
 KEYBOARD_KEY_700e0=reserved

And I can then use xbindkeys or sxhkd to bind XF86Launch1 and
XF86Launch2 to whatever I like =)
