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?
Every mouse should be fine. It’s just the ones with software might not be configurable.
Could be configurable if you pass through the device to a Windows VM. Far from an ideal experience but its doable.
afaik that should work,
running the software in wine/lutris could be an simpler solution
I’ve never had much success with wine when it comes to hardware access or anything driver related, but I could be wrong in OP’s case.
Yeah it’s possible but the solution seems less ideal. Luckily I don’t thing changing settings on a mouse is a common thing.
