Re: I need a new mouse
Impressive features ... but nothing indicates that the software that runs them will work in Linux.

Re: I need a new mouse
From what I remember, the bulk of Logitech stuff works fine.
I have a Microsoft (booo) Intellimouse Explorer 4, it works pretty well, with the exception of the tilt wheel. I also have a Creative Wireless 5000, it works pretty well.
Desktop: AMD Athlon64 3800+ Venice Core, 2GB PC3200, 2x160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 2x320GB WD Caviar RE, Nvidia 6600GT 256MB
Laptop: Intel Pentium M, 512MB PC2700, 60GB IBM TravelStar, Nvidia 5200Go 64MB

Re: I need a new mouse
I want to know if you really need to have 5-7 wireless? I have one and it's enough for me. What do these wireless?

Re: I need a new mouse
5 - 7 buttons sorry!
Wireless (when it works!) is a little easier to use
Never got side buttons working on my old one ;-(

Re: I need a new mouse
Never had any problem with a Logitech mouse on Linux, so for me go for the Logitech one.
To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three persons, two of them absent.

Re: I need a new mouse
you shouldnt have any problems with any mice, they're pretty much standard.
i use only MS mice and keyboards personally. currently use a intellimouse 1.1, and a wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0.

Re: I need a new mouse
Those new Logitech Revolution mice are great.
Speaking of Logitech mice, does anyone have one with volume controls that you've gotten to work in Linux? I have a mx610 that has the volume controls working great when booting off an Ubuntu liveCD, but I can't figure out how ot get the same functionality in Arch.
