Gnome - Cannot click between windows or click on UI elements with Mad Catz R.A.T. 3 mouse












1















I recently switched to Linux. Everything went fine, but when I installed the gnome-shell, it started to ignore clicks outside the focused window. I cannot click on another window to focus it or click on any gnome UI elements. The super key also does nothing. I installed gnome-tweaks and I use a user theme, but that shouldn't be the problem because the problem remained even when I had a fresh install. Also, sometimes when I reboot it works normally. But after another reboot, it comes back.



PS- I found a very temporary fix: If I move the focused (or sometimes other windows) it will start recognizing my keystrokes. On Firefox I need to move the window by the bar with open tabs, as I cannot move it with the title bar.



I read this thread by someone who had a very similar issue, but the solution did not work for me. I think it has to do something with NVidia drivers, because if I change them then the frequency of this happening changes.



Sorry if something is weirdly written. English is not my native language.

  • Hi, welcome to Linux! English shouldn't be a barrier in the way of solution as long as you can adequately explain your troubles. Cheerios! :) PS - Windows key is supposedly refered to as the Super Key.

  • Thanks, I approved the edit. And changed the 'windows key' to super key.

  • Did you try all the answers posted to the question you mentioned? For example are you in a Wayland session? What is the output of the following command in Terminal: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE?

  • @pomsky The output of the command is x11. So I'm not in a Wayland session. I guess? EDIT 1 and 2: I'm dumb

  • Also, yes I did try all the answers. The second one even booted me to a black screen.

So after doing some more research, I stumbled upon a thread with the same question. It turned out to be a problem with my Mad Catz R.A.T. 3 mouse. I didn't realise that i didn't have any drivers for it. Here's how you can fix this issue.



Write this section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:



Section "InputClass"    Identifier "Mouse Remap"
MatchProduct "Madcatz Mad Catz R.A.T.3 Mouse"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection


PS: Here's a link to ArchWiki. It has all the information you need to set up your mad catz mouse.
