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?

Not for Mice.....but if looking at controllers or joysticks:

Checkout this nifty list of udev rules:

Supported Devices

ReadME/Installation:

When one installs their package manager version of steam, steam-devices usually takes care of controllers for the system.

But if say, you are on immutable like Silverblue or Kinoite and use the Steam Flatpak, then udev rules are not included by steam.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
