I will hope and dream that this might someday lead to more mmo/12-button mice on the market, or at least the ability to customize them without relying on their proprietary software.
This. I greatly prefer mice with a large number of customizable buttons, but they're something of a rarity and universally use Windows-only software.
eta: or discontinued.
On the software side there's plenty of linux alternatives to the windows only stuff. Not at my computer to check program names, but my 12 side button mouse is just as usable as it was back on windows.
depends on the mouse model, many are not supported or the macro works bit you cannot edit them. Also corsair software had an automatic switch of the macro profile depending on the main window opened, that was amazing, you could always had the right one without doing anything
