Battery: 100%, discharging.Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The ergonomic Logitech Lift mouse, comes with a "little surprise" for lefthanders - it has factory-swapped left and right button. I.e. it does a left (primary) click when you click the right button. As all the other sensible devices click left with the left button, this creates a lot of schism at your desk, because usually there's only a single global setting to flip the buttons. By using it, you make the sick mouse act normal, while all the other devices (like touchapad) get swapped. The vendor hasn't been able to explain whether this behavior is a deliberate choice or just a tremendous mess, all one reads is their support giving false advice (see their community forum).
Describe the solution you'd like A rule or option to be applicable to this specific mouse, which would swap the buttons back to where they should be (so one could use the global OS setting consistently).
Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried to provide global systemd hwdb overrides, which work, but not universally, but it seems one can only target the bluetooth-connected mouse or the wireless receiver with these rules (and in case of the receiver it cases trouble for mice that don't need fixing). In the receiver case, it can match virtually any logitech device that pairs with it, so that's not the right way and I didn't find any way how to use udev to identify a particular wireless mouse. Solaar on the other way seem to be able to identify the mouse alright, so it could be the right tool for the job.
