Perfect in Linux if you know how to manually edit the configuration, but by
default the side buttons are the same as mouse button 3. So no, they aren't
perfect. Same thing as windows. With some registry tweaking you can get all
of them to work supposedly. I have the MX-500 and I can get both thumb
buttons to work without a problem. Just not those tiny scroll buttons. I do
run Linux a lot although I get a 70fps performance drop in my framerates.
And stuttering. I've never been able to use Linux as my gaming operating
system because I'm the type that usually has one of the latest video cards
out. Which sucks for Linux because the drivers are never caught up to
current technology. When I bought my Radeon 9700 they had just released
drivers for the 8500. I'm definitely thinking about dropping ATI cards all
together when the GeforceFX comes out. Then stick with Nvidia. yeah.
Hopefully Q3 will perform comparably to Windows with a Geforce.
