Daveleh Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Just thought I'd let everyone know about a mouse that I bought recently. I was on holiday in the UK recently and whilst there I popped into a local computer store and purchased a wireless mouse. It's labelled as a Mercury mouse and is produced by a company called Kobian. It comes with the usual Windows driver disk and a two page, A5 instruction sheet telling you how to load the driver and setup the buttons. No mention of Linux was made on the box only all the Windows variants and I bought it on the off chance that it would work. Once home I removed my existing PS2 mouse, plugged in the receiver, powered up and lo and behold it worked first time :) It has two extra buttons, one on each side, not sure how to program those yet though. Just thought I'd pass that on in case anyone else was looking at one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I also recently got a wireless mouse and keyboard (Trust) and it all worked straight out of the box in Linux, even the keyboards sleep button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarissi Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 My Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical works just fine in linux, though not the extra button. That is okay with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
