Setting up

  1. 2. Installing Xinput

    Now to Install Xinput Utility for Fedora
    Simply play:

    sudo yum install xorg-x11-server-utils

    Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
    If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.

  2. 3. Checking Devices Mapping

    So first, to Display Devices List
    Run:

    xinput list

    Now if the Device ID or Name is visible then instead follow the linked Guide:

  3. 4. Swapping Mouse Button

    Now on pure Wayland Desktops
    To toggle the Left Handed Mouse behavior:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed true

    Finally, to disable it play:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed false
