I've found the G502 Hero but what worries me is that one button aparently is wired to lower dpi? can this be changed with out windows software - I've very much like for it to just send a generic "mouse button 5" instead.
Also accepting other suggestion for mice with 3-5 resonably sized buttons that don't alter mousebehaviour / or have linux support.

when using the PPA piper complains about incompatible version ( required:1, found: -1 ) piperctrl show that the 502 is found tho :|
nvm: seems the PPA is broken and I'll need to wait for "someone" to fix it

also needed sudo apt install librsvg2-dev
(LM19/18.04)
So all in all to get a piper that works with the ratbagd from the ppa
git clone https://github.com/libratbag/piper.gitcd piper
git checkout tags/0.2.905
sudo apt install python-gi-dev
meson builddir --prefix=/usr/
ninja -C builddir
This doesn't install it so you you will have to run every time you want to run it - but on the plus side it doesn't mess up your packages and if the ppa gets fixed you can just use that :)
