    I've got the .exe to set the mouse up but I was hoping for something in the Linux dept so I wouldn't have to **** around with WINE unless I really really have to.. lol

    you have to do something with your xorg.conf to get the other buttons working. In arch linux, my razer lachesis has 4 buttons working, and i bet i can get the other 2 working if i can find a use for them.

    My Razer Deathadder has all of it's buttons working by default, no extra configuration needed, though it seems to depend largely on the application used if the button decides to work or not.

    Re: Does the Razer mouse work on Linux?

    I run a Razer Lachesis. To get it working as I wanted-I first had to go into Windows to reprogram the firmware on the mouse in the Razer control panel, in order to free a few buttons from their firmware set tasks.

    Then I used xbindkeys to do the rest in Linux. Works perfectly. All 4000DPI, and all 9 buttons as I want.

    The Copperhead is the only supported mouse on Linux that has driver support...anything else has to be played with to fully get working.

    Properly configured any razer mouse works perfectly in Ubuntu, and has by my count done so since at least 8.04 LTS. Here's how it's done.

    DeathAdder, like said before, OOTB works. Also, one of the best mice I've ever had the pleasure of using.

    I agree with you BslBryan. Razer makes top of the line "mice" if you will.

    Also had no issues with a DeathAdder since 8.04 or so.

    My Razor Copperhead works flawlessly on Ubuntu/Linux.
