Title:
  Gaming mice often don't work out of the box on Ubuntu.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  cat /proc/version_signature
  Ubuntu 3.11.0-20.34-generic 3.11.10.6
  ----------------
  My specific case is with a Zalman ZM-M401R. 

  The current solution is recompilation of the kernel, which works, but
  unfortunately turns downloading a kernel update into a huge chore.
  Please fix this upstream.

  Some other experiences:

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/232564/sharkoon-drakonia-gaming-mouse-doesnt-work-at-all

  There are literally dozens of reports about various usb gaming
  peripherals not working correctly due to this.

  Following the solution in the second link works well, but perhaps it
  would be better for HID_MAX_USAGES to be revised to either be a sysctl
  or updated to reflect newish hardware?

  This is my first bug report, be gentle.
