Hi, I bought a M908 gaming mouse from redragon with is configurable with a software (Download – REDRAGON ZONE) and it works well on a windows computer but I tried to install in on wine on Manjaro and it doesn’t detect it, how can I make a passthrough of my device so wine can detect my hardware as it is and use the redragon software straight from linux?
I’m 99.9% sure that wine is not the way to go.
I looked for:
redragon M908 mouse linux
and found:
GitHub - dokutan/mouse_m908: Control various Redragon gaming mice from Linux, BSD and Haiku

via that github link you find that there is an AUR package for it:

I used to have an M908, as @Nachlese pointed out there’s 3rd party software for configuring it natively on linux. It has a warning on the github repo, I don’t remember seeing that before, but it shouldn’t affect the M908 as it seems to have full support (still read the safety section).

I tried it but I like the redragon program more, and it is the official one after all. Maybe I should use a VM.

But only available for Windows.
Manjaro in a VM running on Windows - not a problem.
pick your poison
A windows VM, there are many modified .iso files that can do the job. I used to have a MiniOS 10 VM that worked acceptably. I appreciate the help, though. It’s good to know that package exists
I think you didn’t understand what I was trying to say.
But I may be mistaken.
You can use your original mouse driver and config program under Windows.
You can have a Manjaro VM running in that Windows host OS.
The mouse is controlled by the host OS (Windows, in that scenario).
You can’t use a Windows VM and pass it’s mouse driver through to a Linux host.
The mouse has it’s own configuration regardless of which OS it’s running. I just want to run the program to modify the profiles.
When in Windows, you can use your preferred program from redragon.
When in Linux, you can (presumably) use the one from AUR.
You may be able to create/modify profiles and store them in the mouse using a Windows OS - so that you can use them when in Linux.
I have only heard about such mice.
The most sophisticated mouse I have ever used and still use is a wireless two button mouse with a scroll wheel as the third button.
Good luck with whatever you are trying!
yes, that’s right. thanks
