Description eraserix 2014-01-09 17:54:46 UTC

The mouse has one button always pressed which leads to focus issues, see here for more details:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/615892

The mouse requires some quirks in the xorg configuration to disable this always pressed buttons. Find below the configuration that I can successfully use for my current edition of this mouse:

~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-madcatz-quirks.conf 
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Mad Catz Inc. R.A.T. 7"
        MatchProduct "Mad Catz Mad Catz R.A.T.7 Mouse"
        Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 0 0 8 9 7 6 12 0 0 0 16 17"
EndSection



Following are some logs when pressing the various buttons and a description where each button is located on the mouse.

Comment 1 Benjamin Tissoires 2014-01-09 20:28:55 UTC

The problem should be fixed in the kernel.
Hopefully, a kernel patch has been (re)submitted recently, and I hope a v2 will come soon.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 32200 ***

Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2014-01-10 00:16:21 UTC

hah, I didn't realise that was the same issue. Christoph: benjamin is right, this one button that's the issue needs to be fixed in the kernel. I thought it was a general button mixup like e.g. in the vertical mouse. sorry about the noise.
