Polychromatic VS SteerMouse

I've tried multiple different brands of keyboards and mice and all of them worked well with Linux, often even if Linux wasn't advertised on the box (I wouldn't bet on that though). More well known brands have better support e.g. Razer has OpenRazer and Polychromatic. Source: almost 2 years ago

I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic. Source: almost 2 years ago

Some apps are still using appindicator like Polychromatic (https://github.com/polychromatic/polychromatic) and it's a buggy mess. I hope this time they make something good and not something totally crap that is going to be a problem for the next few years that a new crew will have to fix. Source: about 2 years ago

I installed OpenRazer driver and Polychromatic. Also I see this maybe related issue. Source: about 2 years ago

I’m eager to try this out, but you might also want to check out Steermouse[1], which is a utility it took me years longer to discover than it should have. I’m not sure how it stacks up to this open source project, but it’s definitely been worth the license cost to me over the years.

There are 3rd party apps like Steer Mouse that let you re-assign buttons/shortcuts on a Mac, but I haven’t used them in a long while, so can’t really speak to compatibility. Source: 10 months ago

Will I use steermouse to configure the mouse. But didn’t put any specific configuration for arc. Source: 11 months ago

Use SteerMouse instead, same developer. Indispensable, if only for the snap-to-default button feature. Source: 12 months ago

Also, whatever you decide on, I recommend skipping manufacturer software and using SteerMouse instead to adjust sensitivity, acceleration and button mappings. Source: about 1 year ago
