logitech's software is trash across the board.

Have their MX keyboard and their logi+ software regualrly craps out making the function/special keys unusable until i log off/back on. Sometimes WHILE im using the keyboard.

And their gaming stuff is no better. Many times just having the logitech g suite software running means my mic will randomly stop working, if i remove the software the headset runs fine.

Their hardware is solid, but there is a 0% chance i would pay for their software.

I use their G Hub to remap my mouse buttons and sometimes my config just gets ignored and I increase mouse sensibility instead of pausing the music

Give autohotkey a try instead. I was able to get rid of the Logitech software because of it.

I've found that's because their mice will go to sleep and upon first waking they'll briefly use an onboard profile before switching to the G Hub profile. This is also why it might feel like it has a different DPI briefly or different light settings for just a flash. The only way to fix this is to use their totally separate OnboardMemoryManager software to change the onboard settings while running G Hub. It solved this issue for me and it's infuriating that this isn't built into G Hub...

Interesting, I'll give that a try before switching to something else entirely. Thank you.

Try just directly using something like xmodmap. You want to interface with your OS as much as possible really, especially to get rid of the "need" for shitty software like this.

I used to swear by their K350 keyboard unified with their mouse, so much so that I bought the exact same models at work. After 10+ years and key prints rubbing off one of them started to get choppy...and around the same time the other did as well. Since they don't make them anymore and are pure Bluetooth with connections I had to find a refurbed one on Amazon. And even that one got questionable after a few months.
