Yep. I've got a Logitech mouse that always bugged out on Windows. Tried downloading their app/drivers and the install indicator just kept going and going above 100%. Completely broken.
Same mouse on Ubuntu works perfectly.
I have a razer mouse, the OSS alternative for linux has never worked perfect.
Often times it forgets the color settings, which admittedly isnt a big deal and not life altering.
but the clutch has never worked, and considering I have hand tremors, that clutch really helped me with sniping in games on windows, and now its just a dead feature i can never use on linux.
Never a day where a Razer product doesn't have an issue with something in particular.
Just sucks that the very thing I bought it for, to help me overcome a physical issue, is now functionally useless/nonexistent thanks to switching to linux.
if I knew then what I knew now I'd have just bought a cheap PoS generic mouse lol
Blaming windows because Logitech fucked up is a bit weird to me.
It’s up to the hardware company to make drivers. If they do a shit job it’s their fault not windows. If the driver isn’t working well it’s the developer who wrote it.
The only issues I’ve ever had with drivers in windows is when the company building the hardware does a bad job at it. Super rare for me anyway.
You may want to re-read the comment I was replying to. At no point did I blame Windows. I simply provided an anecdote supporting that Linux has decent out of the box support for drivers.
