Please leave a comment below for you're suggestions.

As a rule of thumb stay away from any mice that require the use of special software to get the most out of them.  Linux will have ways to enable some, perhaps all, the same features but it's unlikely to be as easy as running the OEM software that comes with many mice...  and getting said software to run in linux (properly) can equally be a pain.  I also recommend USB over wireless.  

Besides those two things the OS really doesn't make any difference.  The rest is up to your personal preference and there are dozens of options you might consider.

I got this mouse after reading about it here on LTT, I'll reboot into my ubuntu partition and check if it's fully functional.

Edit: Confirmation that it works smoothly in Linux, no additional drivers needed. Might even work a bit better since the side buttons work in Chromium here on Linux, and not on the windows version of Chrome.

So what youre saying is that any mice will work for Linux ?

Pretty much, however if any of the mice come with a program along with it, you won't be able to use that.

And no wireless mice, to be safe.
