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?

      True. “Works every time, 90% of the time” :) --thanks to the HID class I guess.

      I have had issues with a couple oddball mice (like no name brand stuff) but the common ones, no problems. Currently running a Logitech G203 Lightsync.

      To be fair I haven’t used mice with lots of extra buttons so no idea about those
