Purchase Advice Mouse suggestions
I am struggling to find a mouse that works on Linux.
I have used the MX Master 4 with Solaar but that doesn't seem to work poperly and the functions are limited. Neither does a Logitech G903 work poperly with Piper.
I am on Fedora 44.
Are there mice that work natively or does something web based work well?
EDIT: I may have worded this incorrectly. The mice do work but I can't seem to change their macros.

I tried it with Piper again and after some restarting it does seem to work.

Es la primera vez que oigo que un ratón no funcione correctamente porque se esté usando en Linux... y llevo 30 años usando Linux

It's not that it doesn't work. Of course the mouse works it's just that the respective software doesn't work nor do the open source alternatives work correctly.

I use logiops with the MX Master 3, and have remapped the hidden thumb button to super key.

Logitech trackball werkt prima. Niets mis mee ook de extra toetsen doen het op de pri trixie en op mint

I feel like any wired USB-mouse will work. I am using, a Contour CMO-GM-L-R mouse.
