I’ve been a happy user of an R.A.T. 4 which is quite an advanced mouse, for about 5 years. It worked fine on Linux too except for the sensitivity reduction push button (these existed back in the day) that needed special Windows only drivers. Unfortunately it broke down a few months ago so I had to switch to a 10+ years old office mouse that I had but it’s not good for any gaming obviously.
So I want to buy a new mouse and a good one. I’m thinking of something like a Dream Machines DM4 Evo S or a Hator Pulsar Essential. These have additional buttons, RGB and, what I’m the most worried about, very high DPI sensors (16k on the DM for example). They seem to use well known components from major manufacturers though and Hator even has official Linux support afaik.
Can I possibly run into any issues with modern gaming mice (specifically the mentioned ones) on Linux? I don’t need any software, macros or RGB effects. I just want the buttons and sensitivity adjustment working so I can use the mouse on my Linux machines. I use Windows for gaming anyways.
I would recommend the logitech g305. It is wireless, but quite fast. It has a sensor that will do 12000dpi with a dpi button. It runs off aa batteries so you rarely have to change them. Low battery notifications even work. You can get it for around 40 bucks at best buy. (Not shilling best buy, the price on logitech’s site is 60)
I only want wired options and the price is too high.
Most wireless mice can be used wired too.
Then what’s the point in paying extra for the wireless functionality?
Because some people want both options.
Sure but we’re talking about my case and I said I don’t.
No, but it also gives you a wider selection of mice to choose from, since you could just ignore the wireless functionality. Some of them may cost a bit more, but not necessarily very much.
For me it is a lot. As I said in one of the replies, seeing recommendations that are multiple times over the budget starts driving me insane at this point.
Fair enough. Sorry.
You might want to include that information in your original post. You are telling people over and over that their suggestions are too expensive. You’re wasting peoples time.
If you didn’t notice, I didn’t ask for option suggestions. My question was different.
