⎡ virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]  ⎜   ↳ virtual core xtest pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]  ⎜   ↳ imps/2 generic wheel mouse                id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]  ⎣ virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]      ↳ virtual core xtest keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]      ↳ power button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]      ↳ power button                              id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]      ↳ ov519                                     id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]      ↳ @ translated set 2 keyboard              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]

the input device of interest imps/2 generic wheel mouse (id=10).
so, find autostart file of openbox , add line it

code:

xinput set-button-map 10 3 2 1 4 5 &

change 10 device of course.
