Hi!
I’m looking for an inexpensive MMO mouse (that’s a mouse with way more that five buttons) that’s fully supported by Linux.
That also means there’s some kind of tool that lets me configure what all the extra buttons do.
For example I want to map Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V and virtual desktop switching to the mouse buttons.
But honestly it’s difficult to find any such mouse.
I stumbled upon this link and there are several mouses listed. The first place isn’t on sale anymore. It was also way to expensive. The second place has this rubber coating that dissolves in disgusting black paint after a year or two. The article also mentioned 8 programmable buttons but the mouse only has 6 and 7 button variants. The third one doesn’t have enough buttons. And so on.
Is there a site/place where I can search and compare mouses with lots of buttons that has a configuration/mapping tool running on Linux?
I first thought to reach out to a mouse/periphery/hardware community but chose not to do it. Most people do not use Linux so answers from them won’t be as helpful as yours.
Thank you for your time!
Logitech, razer and corsair has all worked for me. Of those the razer trinity was probably the best and the logitech g600 i use now is good as well. Input-remapper can remap them no problem. The G600 has a weird issue with piper DPI settings being a bit weird at random on reboot in that the vertical dpi tends to get set way higher than the horizontal and you have to reload the settings in piper for it to work properly. When it comes to the software the corsair one i had was the best as ckb-next could handle everything including the keybinds. The hardware on that mouse was crap though and the scroll wheel died after like 5 months.
