2-3 (extra mouse buttons)

English Hardware
1

Dear all,
I would like to buy a “decent” mouse to use with my linux.
I would like tothave these two or three extra buttons at the side so to have back and forward at web and file browsers.
As an example I found this one Gigabyte GM-M6880 but I am not sure if these mouse buttons work in linux and if can be configurable.

Hi
I have a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard combination, all worked
fine for the last 5 years with linux, it has two buttons on the side
that work as forward/backwards buttons in firefox, without any user
configuration required.

Hi
I’m not a KDE user, but would assume in the button configuration is
done in the KDE Control Center?

This is an old post, but think the system will take care of things once
it knows the connected mouse?
