[SOLVED] How do I use my Logitech Mouse's DPI Shift feature with Piper/Libratbag?

3 years ago by Count Regal Inkwell to c/linux

Title. Bought a new Logitech G502 Hero mouse, and it has a button that is meant to be a "DPI Shift", which is to say that while held it sets the DPI to a value, and when released, returns it to a previous state.

Now, when loading up piper it recognises the mouse, and all its buttons, and I can set things up just fine, but I couldn't find a mapping that specifically acts as the DPI Shift like it does on Windows. Is this just not supported?

EDIT: It is solved! Thanks to @Blizzard@lemmy.zip for the idea. Though it DOES suck that I had to boot into my windows install to change the settings.

For Logitech devices there is also Solaar.

You can check if it has the functionality you want (not sure, since I haven't used it much and only for basic stuff).

Solaar seems to be for something else, but I'll try it nonetheless.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
