Dear #AskFedi,

I'm looking for someone with a #Rollermouse Red with the bars that go under the keyboard, if they could make measurements.
I'm missing those and it's hard to type without moving or tapping the roll.

Does any #Linux expert have an idea how would I proceed with a problem… I have an #ErgoSlider #rollermouse (google it), and despite having no dedicated driver it works great – except that the #mouse cursor keeps moving while I type, because my thumbs fall down on the roller bar. The device uses the ordinary #libinput driver, so what I guess I need is a command pair to “suspend” and ”resume” mouse movement.

Have you ever heard of a #RollerMouse?

I haven't.

Should be an ergonomic #mouse:

Wow, that's really expensive and doesn't come with a Linux driver.

The user told me that she dislikes the thing and had to accommodate for weeks.
