My venerable Logitech Mouse a is nearing the end of it’s life and I’m thinking about a replacement. Since I have no plans to switch my Gaming PC to Windows 11 I would like to have a mouse (and eventually a keyboard) that properly supports Linux.

I looked at the sites for Corsair, Logitech and Razer and the corresponding software is available for Windows (and sometimes MacOS for some reason) but no Linux Version.

Since I actually use some of the fancy Gaming-Gear functionality like setting up macros and variable DPI I’d like to use the software that is used to set these things up.
How do you guys deal with this?
Is there a manufacturer that offers their software for Linux?
Do these things run properly under Wine?

    The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that’s supported by Piper.

      Oh, and the UI even looks better than the totally overloaded official Logitech UI. Thanks!

        There is also Solaar, which has tray battery status support and keyboard support.

        I use both, as both have features the other doesn’t.
