  • oversteer

  • For the wheel, I have a G29 which works without any issue. Rotation and FFB gain is customizable easily with oversteer which support G27 as well.

  • WorkOS

  • libratbag

    A DBus daemon to configure input devices, mainly high-end and gaming mice

  • I also have a G502 hero which can be customized by ratbag/piper. You can create profiles, but I don't think it's possible to autoswap them. Also it might be just me but I also had troubles with setting up the buttons the way I wanted and even today I don't use all the buttons available because of that.

    GTK application to configure gaming devices
