Why do you have to install Usb-Drivers on Windows, but I never had to do it on Linux? (self.technology)

On my Job I regularly have to install Windows PCs and sometimes even install the USB Drivers for Mouse and Keyboard to work. Why dont I have to do that on Linux ever? Seems weird not to have them installed on Windows.

So you're saying that this mouse can't move the on-screen pointer or register even normal left clicks with the generic Linux HID drivers? Seems unlikely.
