New Logitech Mouse & Sony Motion/Navigation Controller Support In Linux 4.2

[Bucic]

Logitech really goes down the drain...
They used to make such good mice. But it seems they're getting crazy. I still have some older Logitech equipment but new devices currently are from Roccat.

Indeed. Take G500 for example. 1 KG of force required to press the damn scrolleheel (middle) button and when you succeed you're going to wake up your whole family. And they use the module on several models!

I've used Logitech mice for awhile and they have always traditionally been good at making mice. Skip all of their other products. I own 2 Logitech Performance MX mice and when I need a new mouse regardless of reason, I will be looking at other alternatives, solely because Logitech just doesn't support Linux. Logitech, take note.

The Steam Summer Sale happened recently, and for the sale, they had a Monster clicking game that rewarded big sales on specific game titles. My colleague saw the sale and when I saw him erratically clicking his mouse, I quickly found out what was happening. I laughed and told him that a Steam sale on mice was coming soon or a sale on carpal tunnel surgery. Within about an hour, I wrote a small shell script to automate the process of winning the game ( seen in action here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8E...ew?usp=sharing ) and shared it with him to use( Ultimately, I didn't get anything on the steam summer sale due to being busy with other stuff so I hope he found something good).

Logitech Performance MX ... no stress.

Anywhere MX (first gen)

But even second gen of that one scares me a bit.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you should just bite the bullet and get used to a larger mouse? :/ It will make buying mice easier in the future.

I want/need a wireless mouse with lateral buttons, back and forward "browser buttons". It's really useful um FPS games. The A4tech mouse got me used to small mouses, about 10/11 cm in length. The Microsoft Laser 5000 fells too big now.

The A4Tech modell I have is a G10 wireless model, with the browser buttons, a button to change configurations on the fly (I use it to change the DPI) and a macro button (between left button and the wheel) that I use as a turbo for the left mouse button. I can live without the configurations and macro buttons, butt the browser buttons is mandatory for me.

The problem is actually difficult to find a good, small wireless mouse with the browser buttons. Microsoft don't make then anymore, Roccat and Razer too, and Logitech has a long list of mouses with small butt annoying problems/limitations.

ROCCAT really is the way to go if you can afford it. But if you just want a cheap mouse, any 3-button mouse will work. It is true that they haven't updated their wireless line-up. It's my biggest petpeeve right now. Also they've stopped selling the optical Kone XTD.

I'm personally waiting for their tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with RGB-lighting.

I have an A4Tech mouse with this bug too. So some months ago I got a Roccat Mouse and am happy ever since. Great linux drivers, super hardware, much smoother pointer movement.
They are a bit overpriced, but I think the linux support is worth it.

I looked at their mouses too, but they no longer sells wireless mouses.

I have a A4Tech mouse (witch I like very much) that have a annoying bug. It gets recognized as a joystick by the kernel driver, so some games have problems working with the actual joypad that I use, a Xb1 Controller.

So I start to look at Logitech mouses (I already have a wireless keyboard with a unified receiver) and the M560 looked like the best candidate to buy (money wise). When I look at the reviews I couldn't believe at the design decisions regarding the functions of the buttons.

In the end, I took the dust off a old Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 (what a name...) and loosed interest in the Logitech mouse. If this new kernel driver cold make it work normally in Linux, I can start thinking of buying it again.
