Hi Pierre,

I can recommend Logitec MX Master 3. Works flawlessly in Latest Mint
Cinnamon and Ubuntu 20.04. By flawlessly I mean every button and
wheel works as expected. If you want to reprogram button and wheel
functionality the management program is ported to Linux and can be
found on github under a GPL license. Default configuration fulfill my
needs so have not tried. Apart from this the mouse is a dream to work
with. Use it at work. At home I use a Kensington Expert Trackball
Wireless which also works flawlessly in Debian with the cinnamon
desktop.
