What wireless mice work well with Ubuntu? [closed]

I'm in desperate need of a decent comfortable mouse that will give me maximum performance on Ubuntu. I'm looking at a wireless Microsoft mouse, but I am concerned it will not work effectively with Ubuntu.

Is there a list of wireless mice that are confirmed to work well with Ubuntu?

Is there a place where I can get opinions from Ubuntu users about mice?

Solution 1:

All mice, keyboards and joysticks produced these days follow the USB HID specifications so should all "just work" out-of-the-box on Ubuntu.

Some very specialist input devices, such as multiple-device tablets, might require tuning to a particular user's preferences but will generally be available in a basic mode as soon as they are plugged in, or selected and paired via the Bluetooth menu.

Apple and high-end wireless mice/keyboards tend to come with Bluetooth support directly. Other wireless devices often arrive with a very small USB adaptor/receiver unique to that manufacturer’s devices, but should still "just work". (Until the battery runs out!).

Solution 2:

Here's a list of mice that were certified to work under Ubuntu:

• Mouse Components (in Wayback Machine)

Solution 3:

Try the official ubuntu mouse! http://shop.canonical.com/ If that doesn't work with ubuntu, nothing will!

Solution 4:

In my experience 100% of mice I've tried work perfectly with Ubuntu.

I use a Logitech MX Revolution and I'm really happy with its outstanding wheel. It's a lot of money for it so if you want to spend less mx518 is a great great mouse.
