Tell us the problem or your need

I have installed bottles and have a really good first impressions with it. However my main purpose for using your software was to configure my mouse with a proprietary software which can be run only on Windows. It's not a logitech mouse, so I had to use this software as there are none that I am aware of which support any mouse in linux. There are a lot of things to configure in this mouse and I would like to, but I am unable to do so. I am able to open the application, it's just that I can't configure my mouse since the app doesn't know that my mouse is connected. I believe this happens in games also, although I'm not sure.

Describe the solution you'd like

If there was a way in the settings to allow the bottle to access the device to the application in the bottle, it would be great and very helpful.

Other solutions?

Furthermore, you can consider implementing an option of loading a device or peripheral as well into the bottle, that way users can not only access mouse controls but also controls of any other device, say keyboards or printers or even joypad controllers, it would be great if you can map those for each games.
