Which Mouse / Keyboard is fully supported on Linux? (feddit.org)

My venerable Logitech Mouse a is nearing the end of it's life and I'm thinking about a replacement. Since I have no plans to switch my Gaming PC to Windows 11 I would like to have a mouse (and eventually a keyboard) that properly supports Linux.

I looked at the sites for Corsair, Logitech and Razer and the corresponding software is available for Windows (and sometimes MacOS for some reason) but no Linux Version.

Since I actually use some of the fancy Gaming-Gear functionality like setting up macros and variable DPI I'd like to use the software that is used to set these things up.
How do you guys deal with this?
Is there a manufacturer that offers their software for Linux?
Do these things run properly under Wine?

I have a Keychron K3 Pro keyboard that can be programmed with VIA and I'm more than happy with it.

My mouse is a VAXEE Outset Wireless. This doesn't need any software to change DPI / polling rate etc. All of it can be done by pressing buttons on the underside of the mouse. It works very reliably.
