Driver for Roccat Pure Mouse or other Mouse for Linux

General system

Maybe this is the wrong category …

My mouse broke today (scroll wheel, Zowie EC-1). Due to many problems in the past with Zowie-mice I don’t want to buy a Zowie anymore. But I need a mouse where the DPI can be changed. Because I had a Roccat Kone in the past (under Windows, it’s a long time ago) and heard that there should be drivers for Linux, I chose the Roccat Pure. Do any of you have experience with the driver situation at Roccat? Are there drivers in the AUR?

I don’t have one of these myself, but it looks like there is linux support. I see the below link on sourceforge:

and yay roccat pure lists three things in the AUR:

Any other suggestions for a mouse with DPI conversion (preferably plug & play only)?

I have a Corsair M55 (supposedly a gaming mouse) and it has switchable dpi, and switchable LH/RH as well. No drivers needed, and works through my KVM as well…
