The Linux 6.19 kernel coming out in early 2026 will add full support for the Logitech G13 gaming keypad, a device first launched back in 2009. Some functionality has worked in Linux over the past 17 years while full support is only coming to this next version of the Linux kernel.

As covered back in August, a Logitech G13 Linux support patch was posted for the G13 with its 25 programmable keys, mini joystick, and other functionality. There had been out-of-tree support for the Logitech G13 via the open-source community but now this patch is working its way to rhe mainline Linux kernel.

I don't understand why they aren't note popular. So much more space for the mouse

I used one to play WoW too, now I use this with a gaming profile instead of needing a piece of dedicated hardware:

The profiles are done on the hardware, so it doesn't need anything special from the OS except to support keyboards.
