I have a bit of a weird setup that I’ve accumulated over the years. In my most recent attempt at breaking into Linux, this was my main barrier. In particular, I use a Corsair keyboard, a Razer Naga X mouse, and a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. As it turns out, the mouse, and seemingly the other two, aren’t compatible with Linux.
I don’t have the money for replacements at the moment, but when I do, what brands/products should I be looking for, for similar functionality? I can give up some features, but essential to me is the ability to set up keyboard macros, and an MMO mouse with the ability to toggle DPI via the side buttons.
For ideas see:
I 🎮 on Bazzite by the way. Input Remapper is installed out of the box. Additional drivers are a simple
ujustcommand away.Is there a compatibility list for Input Remapper? It seems like it would at least cover the keyboard macros, but when I tested it before, it didn’t seen to be able to use non-standard buttons.
Run
evtest, a CLI program. In Debian trixie, it’s in the evtest package. Choose the device in question. That’ll let you see if and what events your keyboard and mouse are emitting when you do stuff. If it’s emitting events, I’d expect userspace software to be able to bind to them.
