Remapping buttons in Linux
You can use the following command to remap the buttons:
xinput set-button-map <device-id> <button1> <button2> <button3> ... <buttonN>
The <device-id>
is shown in the xinput list
output – you can use the name as a string or the id number. You can query the actual button state using xinput query-state <device-id>
.
The mouse has following button-ids:
Button | ID |
---|---|
Thumb button | 9 |
Index finger button | 1 |
Middle finger button | 8 |
Ring finger button | 3 |
Wheel button | 2 |
Wheel up | 4 |
Wheel down | 5 |
See remapping mouse buttons on what buttons X11 recognizes.
According to this the default configuration (xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
) would give you middle click on the wheel button and right-click on the middle finger. The ring finger button would be for special use as well as the thumb button.
I for myself prefer having the middle-button on the middle finger and the right-click on the ring finger. So I mapped 8→3 and 3→2 and I also mapped 9→8 and 2→9 to have the wheel button and thumb button for special use in some programs which make use of additional buttons. My final xinput
line looks like this:
# input id: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 9 2 4 5 6 7 3 8
You could also map 9→6 and 2→7 to have the 2 additional buttons emulate Wheel left and Wheel right:
# input id: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 7 2 4 5 8 9 3 6
We product the vertical mouse the same as yours ,pls contact me for details.
