USB Mouse on Ubuntu



My old mouse was acting sort of weird so I got a new one. Had to buy a USB model this time around. And well it worked fine even when I plugged it in with Ubuntu running. Just like windows.

Feels nice to have things working as they are expected to work. Too bad Logitech has little support for Linux so I would not be able to make much use of the extra features available on this mouse like Tilt Scrolling. :(
