Use cases

  • configure gaming mouse dpi and buttons on linux
  • graphical tool to remap mouse buttons
  • change mouse led colors on linux
  • configure gaming peripherals without vendor software

  • you want an open-source alternative to Windows-only vendor configuration tools

When to avoid

  • your device is not in libratbag's supported device list
  • you need configuration on Windows or macOS
  • you prefer a CLI or config-file-based setup
