I agree with everything Devkol said.

I’m also a very happy Roccat Kona Pure owner. A great part part of the Roccat Kona (watch out, that’s not the case with cheaper Roccat mice) is that the mice settings and macros are programmed *into* the mouse itself, so you just need to programme it once somewhere and then all the profiles, settings etc. go with your mouse wherever you plug it in – OS independent :)

I have a corsair M65. It is solid, reasonably cheap, not too nasty for left handers, and was easy to find.
It can be controlled through the ckb-next open-source software driver for Corsair stuff.

Welp, I've got to recommand Zowie's! Doesn't having a driver means that it works perfectly without one :D

The Logitech 900 is an expensive mouse, but I would 10/10 recommend. I bout it because I t has the perfect layout for me, and I never stopped using it because I fell in love. Also I have tested it with Ubuntu and it works there.

I also agree with davkol. In addition, I have used various other gaming mice for years on my setup that includes a mix of Linux, Windows, and Mac computers sharing a keyboard and mouse. I don't game, and so I am indifferent to any gaming features that might require drivers or other software for Linux, and the mice have all worked just fine for me. Currently, I use a Logitech G403, but I have also used various other gaming mice by Cougar, Razer, Steelseries, Zowie, and others on my Linux boxes with no problems.
