Which Mouse / Keyboard is fully supported on Linux? (feddit.org)

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?

I'm using Solaar to have a taskbar icon with the battery status of my G305 and G915. It also lets you set DPIs, polling rates and stuff.

Piper is able to configure the G305s buttons.

When I need macros or some keys rebound on the G915, I just use a generic button remapper.

OpenRGB supports configuring the RGB on the G915. Solaar does too, but in a much clunkier way.

Oh the battery status would be handy, thanks for the tip!
