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?

    I think every brand not hardly using proprietary config software should be preferable, Logitech seems good.

      Also, Logitech makes the only Linux compatible bluetooth mouse (that I’m aware of) that supports dual booting with Windows - the
      Logitech M720 Triathlon. My other Logitech Bluetooth mouse works fine in each OS individually but has to be re-paired after each OS switch :/

        The MX Ergo has two bluetooth profiles stored on it, so you can switch seamlessly between any two devices. I use one of mine with both a Windows desktop and an MBP.
