    This. I greatly prefer mice with a large number of customizable buttons, but they’re something of a rarity and universally use Windows-only software.

      On the software side there’s plenty of linux alternatives to the windows only stuff. Not at my computer to check program names, but my 12 side button mouse is just as usable as it was back on windows.

        depends on the mouse model, many are not supported or the macro works bit you cannot edit them. Also corsair software had an automatic switch of the macro profile depending on the main window opened, that was amazing, you could always had the right one without doing anything

              Yeah, I think so. I had a backup G600 that replaced my old one a couple of years ago.

              I think they discontinued it before then brought it back for a while but looking on Amazon UK it seems unavailable. RIP G600 :(

              I’m not sure, I never heard of Solaar until you mentioned it!

              I find Piper to be excellent though. For my G600 I can control the LEDs, remap the buttons, set the various DPI resolutions and control the report rate. It does everything I used the old Logitech Gaming Software for (fuck Logitech G Hub).
