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.

    I would have assumed that this happens purely at the mouse level, with no need for OS integration.

      It does not, because this button, like every OTHER button in the mouse, is configurable.

      So if you don’t want to change DPI at all for your gaming/work flow – You can just give yourself extra buttons.

      On Windows to get any functionality out of a Logitech Mouse’s extra buttons you gotta get Logi’s proprietary programme. On Linux, Piper/Ratbag does a great job, but I just couldn’t find this specific mapping (and additionally when I first plugged in the mouse, meaning it’d be on factory settings, the DPI shift button wasn’t doing anything) and that’s why I’m wondering if it’s unsupported.

        It IS set at the mouse level, to change it you need to change in in the Logitech app which is windows only.

        There is no mapping because the command to change DPI never leaves the mouse (as when using the DPI changing buttons by default ) but you may remap the button to MB8 or something if you want.
