Lets hope more people switch to roccat mice. Roccat[1] is the only vendor that I know of with actual Linux support[2].

I've worked with ROCCAT for years (as well as other companies like Razer) and never heard about this before. How do other gaming mice do on linux if they haven't focused on supporting it?

There is an open source app for Razer mice, but it's fairly basic (or was, the last time I used it) and doesn't have support for very many mice.

That said, I use a death adder, a mamba, a lachesis, and an Orochi with Linux just fine. Admittedly I don't have the advantages of advanced configurations, but that's what you get without An Internet connection with Synapse 2.0 anyway.
