Stylus right click button middle clicks

[alimansfield2016]

The surface pen 2 (one after sp4 without clip) middle clicks when the right click is pressed, rather than acting as a right click modifier like in windows 10.

Surface Pro 4.

Which OS are you using? I use Ubuntu 18.04 and had the same issue on a Surface Pro 6. This is OS related and can be solved as follows:

• list the ID of devices: xinput list
• check for the ID of the pen - should look like this: ipts 045E:001F Pen (0) id=18 [slave pointer (2)]
• change the button order (here for an example with ID=18): xinput set-button-map 18 1 3 2
• now test if right click works properly
• if right clicking works and you would like Ubuntu to start with these parameters: - open /etc/X11/Xsession.d/91swapmousebuttons - add the line xinput set-button-map 18 1 3 2 - save the file I hope this helps and sorry if the formatting looks strange. This is my first comment on github ;)

I thought I would comment because the suggestion from @PimPolacko helped me.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 (x11) on a surface book 3. I have a "surface pen with no clip". Swapping buttons 2 and 3 fixed it for me.
