parrot Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So for the last few weeks, I've been getting random freezes with my mouse (Logitech mx500). I've tried moving USB ports, and that has not helped. I also tried killing Synergy, but that didn't help either. Given that the mouse is 4 years old, it's probably just dying. I have another Logitech, a Performance MX wireless, that works fine...but the MX performance and the g500 are different in that the g500 has onboard memory to save key bindings. For example, I have the left thumb button assigned to "c", and the right thumb button assigned to "x". Then in ET, I have "c" assigned to one toggle script, and x assigned to another toggle script. I set those bindings in Windows with my kids computer, and when I move the g500 to my gamin rig, the settings are still saved. The MX performance, however, does not save those settings. I tried using xbindkeys to set the wireless mouse buttons, and that works fine in the terminal - but when playing ET, it does not work. Not sure why. Based on Zero's suggestion, I tried going into the controls menu and seeing what ET thought those buttons actually represented, and turns out both thumb buttons register as KP_Equals. That rules out being able to bind around the issue through ET. My thinking right now is to go with this mouse: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010U57G1K/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687602&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00MSOIUOO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=2SF5768TBKVXDY85Q0WD since roccat offers a Linux software package to set it up. Zero had suggested this mouse here: https://www.dreammachines.io/products/dm1-pro-s-optical-gaming-mouse-3360-sensor but I fear I'll run into the same issue as I did with my wireless mouse. I'm open to feedback and/or suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators daredevil Posted August 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2016 I am still using my Logitech G5. I just change pads for smooth movement and that's it. For linux it works fine as well but no native drivers like Setpoint for Windows. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/razer Razer has unofficial support. Roccat is the only option as of now with native support (somewhat) - never tested it or used it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
