Hi!

I’m looking for an inexpensive MMO mouse (that’s a mouse with way more that five buttons) that’s fully supported by Linux.

That also means there’s some kind of tool that lets me configure what all the extra buttons do.
For example I want to map Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V and virtual desktop switching to the mouse buttons.

But honestly it’s difficult to find any such mouse.
I stumbled upon this link and there are several mouses listed. The first place isn’t on sale anymore. It was also way to expensive. The second place has this rubber coating that dissolves in disgusting black paint after a year or two. The article also mentioned 8 programmable buttons but the mouse only has 6 and 7 button variants. The third one doesn’t have enough buttons. And so on.

Is there a site/place where I can search and compare mouses with lots of buttons that has a configuration/mapping tool running on Linux?

I first thought to reach out to a mouse/periphery/hardware community but chose not to do it. Most people do not use Linux so answers from them won’t be as helpful as yours.

Thank you for your time!

    I got a Logitech MX Mouse Master 3s. Not sure if it can fit into what you want or need because I’m no gamer (like, not even minesweeper) but it has more than 5 buttons.

    I set it up with logiops so you could customize its buttons - for example I set up one of its buttons to open KDE Plasma’s overview.

    Good mouse overall though the bottom cavity where the wheel resides can get dirty so I have to open it like every couple of months to clean it.
