All the buttons work now, read bellow how to set it up.

Initially when plugging the mouse into a linux PC some of the buttons would not function. This is an MMO gaming grade mouse with 13 buttons so no surprise some of them did not work. Read bellow how I set it up.

Problem is the Logitech SetPoint software is designed for Windows only, so to access all of the features of the mouse you will first need a Windows machine. Download and install SetPoint and setup the mouse inside of the software to your needs, assign how many profiles, which button does what, and you can even assign macros to certain buttons that you will use in Linux. For example I have 3 of the index buttons set to Terminal, Firefox & Gedit by default.

Save everything, the profile is then saved to the mouse itself, not the windows machine, you can then plug your mouse into a Linux machine and all your options will be preset on the mouse.

I did 5 profiles with different DPI settings, set refresh rates to max and battery use to Gaming mode for max performance. I assigned some of the buttons to Linux commands through macro manager to launch certain applications. Now I can adjust sensitivity speeds on the fly, and launch certain most used apps through the mouse. If I enter a game, for example quakelive, I'm able to bump up the DPI to max 5700 and set the in-game sensitivity down to my desired feel.

Awesome mouse, highly recommended, superior high quality design, amazing control, and feels great in your hand. This mouse IS a bit on the heavier side, so if you're used to a lighter mouse, look elsewhere. However, if you don't plan to use it wireless all the time, you can pull out the battery which will make the mouse lighter, and just use it in wired mode.
