    The mouse not working is likely because the mouse isn’t using standard driver software and is likely expecting the manufacturers spyware to be installed.

      As a novice in Linux. If you have a gaming mouse from a big brand like say Razer/Logitech etc. and you want software for those that exists and works pretty straightforward. From my experience. Literally using a razer mouse on mint right now with software that lets me see my battery level and set the dpi of the mouse.

      Nah, it’s just a Mad Katz piece of shit that uses non-standard button mappings that Windows (and apparently Wine) can pick up without issues or additional drivers:
