Linux compatible mouse

Have a Linux system and after a lot of research looks as though the Logitech VX Nano could be the best bet for my notebook but whilst reviews praise this unit it would appear they are using XP - can anyone confirm that this mouse will work with Linux system and without any setting re-arrangement ? Thanks

    Ive used 2 mouses which werent listed as being for use with linux but have worked, a usb mouse should work,
  • Basic functionality will work but there's no guarantee to additional buttons or scroll wheels on a mouse.

    Linux, quite frankly shouldn't care...XWindows sees it as standard as a rule, and PS/2 or USB work just as well.

    There's no such thing as a Linux mouse or a Windows mouse...it's just a mouse. You won't have issues either way with any reasonably recent linux distribution..:)
  • Here's a guide on how to get all of the buttons working as they would in Windows..
