A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Logitech hardware: pretty good!
Logitech software: worst shit I've ever seen.
Logitech AI: Dead-drunk Skynet telling you to lick your fans.
That fucking G Hub software has the absolute shittiest UX of all apps I have installed on my machine.
On Linux, input-remapper usually works pretty well to remap the extra buttons. I wonder if it'd work on this AI button.
If you still think the hardware is pretty good, you haven’t been using their newer hardware.
I think I wrote a comment about this recently, but their newest mouse with a layout I like (G604) was made with terrible soft rubber that is practically designed to disintegrate with use. All their mouse switches are also short life crappy switches that stop working relatively quickly.
Soldering new switches into the G604 is an absolute PITA because it was designed by people who didn’t care for repair. Still doable, just annoying. I just wish the rubber was replaced with the grippy hard textured plastic they used a few years earlier.
At least you only need to use the software at first when you’re setting things up.
