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!
The corsair scimitar is very supported on Linux and has some software called ckb-next you can install that lets you do most remappings you could possibly want. I had one for a while until it finally gave up the ghost. I have a Logitech G600 now, and there are some apps for it but none like the corsair one. Since it has onboard memory for bindings, I just edited it on a windows machine with their really old app and saved it to hardware.
Worth noting that the wired version is fully supported with ckb next, the wireless one is only experimentally supported. I can’t get it to work with my wireless one, but it at least as onboard memory so I can set binds/rbg with a different computer as needed
Ahh yea that’d do it. I didn’t even know there was a wireless option.
