a lot of peoples(and I really mean A LOT) using expensive devices (mice) are deep into this problem

fundamentally incredible is the fact that all guru's talk about bad hardware on the linux side, leaving the problem unsolved - on windows they all use the same trick for all devices (using autohotkey).

spending many hours over the internet to find a linux easy solution, I found that the ultimate solution is to patch the evdev driver.
how many peoples will rebuild evdev is my question ? - very few is my response - people use Ubuntu / Mint for ease of use - geeks use Arch < those guys know what to do but many Ubuntu users will leave the problem unsolved .. therefore please add this patch into evdev mainline.

Thanks in advance ...
