MMO Type Mice
Rio Oct 21, 2016
Has anyone had any luck getting MMO type mice (Roccat Nyth, Logitech G600, Razer Naga etc) working? I was hoping for a mouse with an easy configuration/installation (a gui would be great but I'm not picky.) I can't find much info on these mice and their usage (in games like Guild Wars 2 in wine or native Runescape).

I have a Razer Naga Hex mouse and it works out of the box on any distro. No need of any extra driver or configuration tool.

The 6 extra buttons are hard-coded to keyboard, either numpad 1-6 or numrow 1-6. There is a switch under mouse to select wich one you want to use.

You just need to remap keys ingame to use them all. Simple, effcient, works everywhere with everything.

Also works great with Guild Wards 2 since you mainly use skills 1 to 6.
