I would love to figure out how to make the back and forward buttons on my super basic logitech mouse work. Last I looked, I had to install some mouse configuration app and do some manual stuff to program the buttons. I gave up.
What distro? Mine work out of the box without any configuring.
Mint. Mouse is a Logitech G305. I guess I'll have to give input remapper a shot again.
After installing "Input Remapper," you continue to need only the same amount of effort as setting up the Logitech application, except without the nags to create an account for no useful reason.
Also, I think the back/forward buttons get mapped by default on some newer distros, since my Performance MX is Just Working and I only had to remap the buttons I already remap on other OSes.
I managed to get it working using Input Remapper this past weekend. So nice having this back - thank you!
Thanks for the follow-up! Glad to hear it worked for you. I only recently discovered it myself a few months ago and wondered where it had been all my life.
Same. I miss using the mouse as a browser back button.
