From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] How do I use my Logitech Mouse's DPI Shift feature with Piper/Libratbag? (pawb.social)

Title. Bought a new Logitech G502 Hero mouse, and it has a button that is meant to be a "DPI Shift", which is to say that while held it sets the DPI to a value, and when released, returns it to a previous state.

Now, when loading up piper it recognises the mouse, and all its buttons, and I can set things up just fine, but I couldn't find a mapping that specifically acts as the DPI Shift like it does on Windows. Is this just not supported?

EDIT: It is solved! Thanks to @[email protected] for the idea. Though it DOES suck that I had to boot into my windows install to change the settings.

It's possible that this setting is only available in Logitech software, which is not available on Linux. You could try setting it on a Windows machine (🤮) and save it on the mouse, then use with Linux. Or perhaps there's a way to run Logitech soft on Linux (wine/VM?).

Well my PC is dual-booted with Windows (I have to, for work reasons, my job pretty much requires the Adobe suite, though as another plus, having to reboot to a different environment where I have none of my games and shit does help my brain change gears from "fun time" to "work time") -- So right now (which is work hours) I have set things up on G Hub and saved it to the mouse's internal memory. I'll reboot into Linux later today and see if that made any difference whatsoever.

EDIT: It woooooorked! :D
