My SteelSeries mouse is properly detected but lacks the ability to move when connected via either wired or wireless connection.I can configure button events such as Page Up and Page Down using the rivalcfg tool, but I cannot customize the left-click or right-click.My old USB mouse works fine on my laptop, so I'm not sure if the issue with the gaming mouse not working is due to firmware or configuration problems.

This is the output of "libinput list-devices":

I have seen posts online on other sites explaining that a firmware upgrade might work, they also mentioned that their mouse was only recognized as a keyboard instead of a mouse.
Can you try to upgrade the firmware of the mouse to see if that resolves the issue

There also is a hid_steelseries module in the kernel available, although i am not sure if this applies for your mouse too
Code:
Steelseries SRW-S1 steering wheel support
modulename: hid-steelseries.ko
configname: CONFIG_HID_STEELSERIES
Linux Kernel Configuration
└─>Device Drivers
└─>HID support
└─>Special HID drivers
└─>Steelseries SRW-S1 steering wheel support

maybe there are other drivers in there too?

Imho i think its the firmware of the mouse, but i do not own such a mouse so you would have to try, hope it helps.
