This mouse doesn't require a driver. It's simply plug and play!

PCWorxLA · Answer

It's just a simple, USB wired optical mouse. It should work on any computer that recognizes a USB mouse, don't see why a driver would be needed. I use an Insignia wireless optical mouse on a couple of Linux based laptops, though not with Ubuntu but Fedora 23 and Linux Mint 17, just fine too...

99% of USB mice work with Linux. This is one of those 99%. I am using it on Ubuntu 16.04.

According to the salesperson at Best Buy, this mouse will work with any computer that has a usb port. I'm using it with a Chromebook.

Yep

Awareguy · Answer

It should work. The wired connection gets it to your operating system without a driver that a wireless needs.

As long as your computer or laptop has a USB port somewhere, this mouse will work just fine.

Yes, this product is compatible.

It has only been tested with windows and mac so that is all we can guarantee will work.

It will not...at least, it doesn't for me. I have a Lenovo C260, with the Insignia mouse and keyboard that came with the computer...just installed Linux Mint 19, mouse and keyboard no longer work. No idea why.
