The XPG Alpha Wireless Gaming Mouse boasts a 16K DPI sensor and retails for $65~80 USD but turns out it doesn’t even work properly under Linux without a pending kernel patch.

ADATA advertises the XPG Alpha Wireless Gaming Mouse as being an excellent mouse for gamers but turns out they didn’t exactly mean Linux gamers with the mouse not behaving correctly under Linux. A pending patch working its way to the upstream Linux 6.15 kernel and potentially for back-porting to older kernels is to introduce a new quirk so it will behave properly.

The patch is setting the “ALWAYS_POLL” HID quirk for the ADATA XPG wireless gaming mouse as otherwise the device is unable to generate input events properly.

The patch is currently residing in the for-6.15/upstream-fixes branch of the HID subsystem and should be upstreamed in the days ahead. So if you’ve been looking to use the XPG Alpha Wireless Gaming Mouse on Linux, it should be better handled soon.
