Does it exist some solution to customize Logitech MX Vertical?

Information from Logitech site https://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/mxvertical/downloads#macPnlBar:

Logitech Options software lets you customize your device's settings as follows:

  • Change function key shortcuts
  • Customize mouse buttons
  • Adjust point and scroll behavior
  • Enable and disable touchpad gestures
  • Get on-screen notifications when your device's battery runs low or when you press a lock key
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]

  • You could add it to the question. I don't think you can get all of those on linux. – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 18:23
  • There is obviously no "Logitech software" for Linux. – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 18:52
  • Yep, but maybe exist something multipurpose for this group of hardware. – slava Mar 01 '19 at 18:55
  • You can do customization using `libinput`, or `evdev` like a generic mouse. – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 18:57

    Can you add output of `xinput` command? – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 18:58
  • @Pilot6 added to question contents. – slava Mar 01 '19 at 19:08

    OK, now add `xinput list-props 13` – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 19:09
  • @Pilot6 added `xinput list-props 13`. – slava Mar 01 '19 at 19:11

    So these are options you can tune. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man4/libinput.4.html – Pilot6 Mar 01 '19 at 19:14
  • Can anyone confirm if the button customisations live on the mouse, or in software on the computer? Can I program the custom buttons on Windows, and them on Linux? – Yarek T Aug 26 '21 at 09:55

Have you looked at Solaar? https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar Its a package to configure and customize logitech periferals such as mouse and keyboard. The MX Vertical isn't on the list of supported devices but it is only a partial list and it is in fact supported.
