Hi Juraj,

thanks for the input! Using xinput would be another option for sure.

Actually, on my desktop, I use the following script to configure my Logitech 
Trackman for left-handed use, that is on the left side of my keyboard, along 
with the normal mouse on the right side:

    lsusb | grep 'Logitech, Inc. Marble Mouse' &>/dev/null || exit 0
    xinput set-button-map "Logitech USB Trackball" 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Trackball" "libinput Accel Speed" 1
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Trackball" "libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 
0 0 1
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Trackball" "libinput Button Scrolling 
Button" 9
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Trackball" "libinput Scrolling Pixel 
Distance" 50
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Trackball" "libinput Horizontal Scroll 
Enabled" 0

which is started automatically on KDE login.

I'm just wondering if I could do it like the mouseswap Plasmoid did, see my 
previous mail ;-)
