xinput only deals with X11.
Wayland can use Xwayland to run X11 software, but they live in their own little X11 world. You probably have some Wayland-native programs and some X11 programs running
you can list running X11 software with $ xlsclients.
There are a couple suggestions there to remap things. I haven't used input-remapper myself, but I've heard positive things about it.
Ayy, the input-remapper worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
Very easy to use program, highly recommend for anyone who wants to disable or remap their devices.
Glad to hear it, and thanks for following up to benefit others!
Maybe this will help you?
Idk about xinput, but my first assumption is that the reason it doesn't work in some apps is because of Xorg vs Wayland. An evdev based solution should work universally.
I think the X11 is giving me grief with this one. Libinput is not anywhere to be seen and such... I'll have to return to figuring this out, if I don't find another solution lol
What mouse are you using? Generic? Logitech? Or Razer?
Steelseries, model number 62271.
Model year 7BCE.
Doesn’t look super special, so I’m not sure why the scroll wheel would behave differently per application.
Did you ever need software to configure mouse profiles for it on Windows?
There’s Piper, an application specifically for configuring gaming mice, including Steelseries mice.
I never used this with windows.
I'll check out Piper, thanks!
