Mouse related tooltip mentions impossible action

[hadess]

The tooltip for Key/Button Actions says:

Changing important actions (such as for the left mouse button) can result in an unusable system.

But I can't change the left mouse button configuration.

Only some mice can change the left button configuration. Please provide output of solaar show to see what mouse buttons can be changed.

It's an M650, for which you have the solaar show output already ;)

Logitech reuses model numbers for different mice, so it is possible that your M650 is different from the M650 whose solaar show output is in the docs/devices directory. The Model ID is supposed to be definitive.

In any case, some mice can change the left button action, so the tooltip will stay.

Sure.

Would be great if it was reworded

The M650 has the other case, where two different mice have the same Model ID. In this case the mouse in the docs/devices directory is a larger model, but there is at least one example where mice with different physical appearances and different model numbers share the same Model ID and firmware.
