For years, I’ve used a Razor Naga with DPI switching on one of the side buttons, and for years before that, it was a Logitech G600. I’ve just installed Linux for the first time in a while only to realize Razor doesn’t offer support, and Polychromatic doesn’t offer button remapping.

Is there any way to rebind my mouse, or will I have to go back to Windows to keep using my mouse?

1Edit: plz send help fast. I am typing “1” into every window I open. I need rebind this before I break something.1

Edit21: Is there a way to bind a sensitivity toggle to the mouse button event more directly?

Edit 3: I’ve run out of time to work on this, so I’ll need to install Windows for the time being. I might come back to it if I ever get a weekend free.

    xinput will work under Xorg, but not Wayland.

    I actually don’t think I’ve needed to remap mouse buttons on Wayland. Most stuff like that got pushed to the compositor in Wayland. I assume that, given that I’m using sway, sway has some mechanism. Probably Gnome and KDE do too. OP didn’t indicate what environment he was in, though.

    Has some packages.

      God damn that’s so good to know.

      I’ve been neglecting this issue on a subset of vms. At work, no less.

      No real issue just a headache.

      Thank you. Deobfuscated a pain point I never bothered to look into. I can probably work around it now.
