FYI logiops is smaller, and simpler daemon for Logitech devices. In my experience, it has more features and is less prone to breakage. Downside is no GUI, and everything is done via (a fairly simple imo) config file

Solaar Vs Logiops
thanks for sharing this
it has more features and is less prone to breakage
In previous versions (like a year/a year and a half ago) it was kind of funky and when I set the keyboard to recognize the brightness up/brightness down, it would mess with the mouse. But somehow they managed to fix that and it's working flawless ever since.
Been using it for a while now. Only issue I had initially was some confusion on setting the DPI, but got it to work.
Yeah Solaar is pretty nice. The recent update has messed with its detection lately, so it doesn't detect my keyboard on boot anymore, but I barely turn my PC off (once a week for updates) and a quick unplug/replug of the receiver fixes it like a charm. A bit of a pain but that's how it goes sometimes.
I have to do this with my wired Logitech keyboard about once a month and I'm on Windows at so don't feel bad.
All I ask for is software that can easily record both mouse and keyboard inputs, modifiable delays between keystrokes and togglable or held macros.
Logitech’s G-Hub worked great for all types of macros, have yet to find a suitable Linux equivalent.
FYi; openrgb can do lighting for Logitech g502 mice, CKBNext for Corsair keyboards.
thanks for sharing that last bit.
Oh we're good thanks! I will never buy a Logitech mouse ever again. They don't last. Or they have problems detecting surfaces etc etc. Junk.
It would be nice to share what alternatives are best and what Logitech mice made you had that impression.
Well this latest one started having right clicking on both buttons. I tried on winders and Linux and it did the same so it was definitely the hardware... So how does one button click signal get mixed with the other if they have different traces going to the chip? Via software. They probably have a way to screw up your mouse via updates like they said they would.... A monthly subscription.
