Which gaming mouse do you use on Linux?

Like most people here I imagine I dual boot Arch Linux with Windows 7. Windows 7 (soon to be 10 I guess) is used just for gaming and Arch Linux is used for work.

I want a new gaming mouse but I'd like it if it was supported on both Linux and Windows. I used to have a Mad Catz R.A.T 7 and had to do some pretty annoying hacking of X11 config files to get it to work (X11 threw a fit because it didn't know which buttons were to do what).

So I was looking for a gaming mouse that was pretty well supported in Linux through the community. I have a flexible budget so if it means spending more money on it then that is fine as well.

I have a logitech g600 mmo and it works well in ubuntu for me. The extra buttons dont do anything but the mouse functions.

Interesting. I looked at the Logitech G502 Proteus Core because I liked the look of the mouse but wasn't sure if I'd have any problems with it. If the G600 MMO one works that could make it a reasonable option.

I've just done some searching and it looks like Razer and Roccat both have pretty good support in Linux for their devices. Unfortunately the Razer mouse I wanted isn't supported by razercfg which made me sad .

Cool. Thanks for the responses. I'll have a look at them all and see which one suits me best. I'm quite particular and don't want to spend my money on something that is not really what I want. I'd rather stick with my current 10 year old Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse than spend money on something that doesn't work as required.

The Roccat mice do look particularly good though. I might have a closer look at them.
