Logitech: We don't have any mouse that works with Ubuntu

[Gilles Gravier]

Of course, ALL Logitech products work under Linux. But they are not
"supported" because Logitech isn't spending any time validating them.

All Logitech mice (and keyboards) follow the USB-HID device
specifications, which is what the Linux mouse and keyboard drivers aim for.

They work. All.
