I have had a Logitech G903 for almost 3 years now, and it worked great under Linux. It had smooth scroll properly working with solaar and I could remap/deactivate buttons with piper.
Now that the G903 seems like it’s going to die (random slowdowns), I’m in the market for a new mouse.
I got a Razer Balistik v3 pro, only to find out that Razer support on Linux is terrible.
So I got the G502 X Plus, hoping it would work like the G903 did, but has a bunch of issues.
For exampe: It’s not recognized by piper, so I cannot remap/disable buttons. While I can change the dpi with solaar, it only stays until I press the thumb-dpi-button, then it switches to a higher dpi and stays there. (had to enable in-memory profile on a windows vm with ghub, to make solaar work) … and many more.
Are there any good wireless mice out there, that have good Linux support?
actually, this one looks pretty cool. I too don’t use more than two thumb buttons, which is enough.
How’s the scroll wheel?
The scroll wheel is fine, but honestly the one feature I do miss from my old Logitech was a button I could click that put the scroll wheel into free wheel mode where it would spin instead of ratcheting. If Glorious made a mouse with that I would probably buy it tomorrow
oh no, that’s a bummer. I really need that free spin
I have the same mouse and the scroll wheel is the best I’ve used on a mouse. The wheel is nice and jaggy, and the movement has no slop whatsoever.
