| Genius | ErgoMedia R800 Laser | Deluxe 2.4Ghz wireless ergonomic desktop combo | USB | openSUSE 11.0 | The set work great, some extra buttons don't work but most of them do out of the box. Other buttons will require to bind them with the desired function through Control Centre. Office, Messenger and Audio Preset buttons will not work. The mouse is a bit sensitive, I recommend to adjust sensitivity and mouse speed. Although it works with standard keyboard, maybe is better to select Genius KB-21e Scroll for Keyboard Layout (tested on GNOME only)
It is possible to make work the Office and Zoom keys with keytouch. To configure keytouch select the mouse, it seems those keys are handled by the mouse input bus. At the moment I couldn't make work the others. |
