I tested solaar with my Performance Mouse MX, and the smooth scrolling worked like a charm, I just need to find a way to make the scrolling speed slower now.
System is Linux Mint 15.
Thanks to Nestor from Logitech for providing me this device.
This mouse has two buttons on the left, currently mapped to 8 (bottom
button) and 9 (top button).
Note: setting bit 1 of register 01 does odd things in KDE. I looked in
SetPoint 6.61.15 and could not find an option for "Side Scroll",
perhaps it is not applicable here?

The firmware on this touchpad features out-of-the-box tap-to-click
(no host software needed). The following features work with no
additional software (tested in Linux 3.11-rc6 with KDE 4.11):
- Left-click: single tap
- Middle-click ("scroll-wheel click"): three finger tap
- Right-click ("context menu"): two finger tap or tap in right corner
- Navigate left ("Back"): three finger slide to left
- Navigate right ("Forward"): three finger swipe to the right
- Scroll (up/down/right/left): slide with two fingers
- Move pointer (any direction): slide
Click and drag is also possible (for example, for selecting text or
moving windows with Super + right/left-click in KDE), just press harder
on the surface. Right click is in the bottom-right corner, left is
anywhere else.
Sliding with three fingers up acts if you pressed Super. Sliding with
three fingers down triggers a key press of Super + D (normally the
"Show Desktop" in MSWIN).
Not working as it requires additional software:
- Pinch-to-zoom.
- Four-finger gestures, likely needs to be controlled via features as
there are no HID messages at all.

User experience note: the upper part (covering two-third) of the middle
button is the "METRO START SCREEN" button, the smaller bottom part
provides the "middle mouse button" (MIDLLE BUTTON). This might be OK
for a desktop user, but it's awful if you have a big hand like me and
make much use of it for opening URLs in a new tab or pasting stuff.
On the other hand, the middle button can be remapped and there is both
horizontal and vertical scrolling functionality.
This should help in https://github.com/pwr/Solaar/issues/49. This information
was shared by Nestor Lopez Casado from Logitech.
What remains unclear are the 0x25 and 0x26 values for r1 (Charging state). It is
also not clear whether r0 (Battery/Charging level) always reports 0x00 while
charging the Performance MX. (Perhaps this is only reported the first few
seconds?)
- Fix typo in rules path
- Fix capitalisation.
- `udevadm control --reload-rules` is unnecessary[1].
- `adduser` is Debian-specific, use the more portable `gpasswd`.
- No need to wait 10 seconds before re-inserting.
- After adding to group, user must re-login.
