Have you tried to use System Settings --> Keyboard And Mouse --> Mouse?

I am still running a system that is slightly older than yours, and I am 
not using the same rodent, so I really see no specific setting to adjust.  
I suspect that the available options depend, to some extent, on what 
hardware you have connected -- as well as the KDE version, etc.  So I 
hope this helps (while being too cowardly to promise that it will do 
so!).
