Andrew_Noble:
I am having inconsistent clicks with my logitech m510 mouse with my new linux computer. Everything about the mouse works properly (tracking, scrolling) except the clicking action, which works intermittently.
If I depress the mouse button for longer, it seems to be more reliable.
kernel version 6.1.0-1028-oem
ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
framework laptop 13
What I have tried:
I have dissasembled the mouse and cleaned it
I have swapped the mouse to my old windows laptop and it works fine, pointing to Ubuntu
I have tried disabling autosuspend in the kernel
I have tried inspecting the mouse with Solaar, most options are greyed out for my mouse
I have tried moving the mouse receiver to a different expansion slot
I appreciate any help!
Hi @Andrew_Noble , welcome to the community! (Forgive me if we interacted elsewhere, this post indicates you’re new in the header for admins).
I do not have access to this specific mouse, however, I do use a Solaar alternative called Piper for my Logitech wireless G305.
Using sudo apt update && sudo apt install piper -y should get you where you need to be. Should also include libratbag so that stuff isn’t grayed out (if the mouse is compatible, which it may be).
As to the behavior itself, this is tough. I seriously doubt the logs will tell you much.
An interesting way to “lazy grep” what is happening may be to run:
sudo systemctl status bluetooth
Then look for the error logs and share them here.
