thanks for mentioning Roccat @_para
i'm running an old Cooler Master Inferno and am looking for a new mouse - can anyone offer a comparison between the CM and Roccat brands? CM mice seem to be built like tanks - they just don't quit - so i'm wondering if Roccat is also high quality and long lasting?
regarding Linux compatibility, i think just about any mouse will work but all the buttons may not be supported - i know with my Inferno button 8 is not detected in Xonitic and i think (not sure) this is largely because the Linux kernel doesn't support a whole lot of buttons - however i think if you set the mouse up in windows with the OEM driver and assign those extra buttons to keyboard keys, all should be fine (as long as that info is saved on the mouse of course) ... OR ...@Mr. Bougo mentioned 'xev' which i just tried and that works fine to detect X11 events:
Code:
xev -event mouse | grep --no-group-separator -B3 button
however i can't find any packages in the Manjaro/AUR repos that can assign mouse events to keys - anyone?
it looks like xbindkeys might be able to do that but i'm not sure
