MMO mouse with side buttons which can be configured in linux
loggfreak Jan 12, 2015
are there any good mmo mice out there, with those side buttons, that have linux drivers for those?
or if there are no mmo mice with official linux drivers,
maybe some unofficial drivers/software to configure the sidebuttons?
i've checked out these ones

Razer Naga:

do any of these work with linux (including sidebuttons), if so, using what software?
any other suggestions?

sorry i have no idea about those... i play MMOs also.
i use roccat keyboard and mouse.. but their mice dont have lot of side buttons.

kova+ has 2 on the right side and 2 on the left side of the mouse and roccat ofc comes with great tools for linux to customize the configs.

i mostly bind buttons at my roccat ryos mk keyboard.. it has 5 macro buttons on the left side of the keyboard as well as 3 extra configurable buttons below spacebar. + then i use buttons around WASD, like Q,E,R,F,G and same stuff while holding shift or control

plenty of buttons :)

yeah i just found out roccat will be releasing a mmo mouse with a customizable side-panel in Q1 this year,
it's called the roccat Nyth
so i think i'm going to wait and see how that one turns out before making my decision

I'm using the Razer Naga, the side buttons work just fine but can not be configured out of the box.
That's where keyboarding master comes in ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbmaster/ ), it allows for rebinding the side buttons.
As far as I can tell I can't bind macro's to the side buttons, but I haven't really put any effort in it so far as I'm mainly using keyboarding master for my Razer Nostromo.
