Works well on Fedora Linux

I use this mouse with Fedora 30 and it works quite well. I was skeptical about BT mouse support in Linux, but they connected right away and work smoothly with almost no lag. I love it. The assembly is pleasant, the keys are well pressed. The knurled metal scroll wheel rotates easily. The only downside is that, fun as it sounds, it doesn't seem to charge via USB-C. I've tried this with different devices and chargers. The only thing that charges it is the included USB-A to USB-C cable. This seems like a pointless constraint, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. That's why I deduct a star from a very good device.

Pros
