I bought a Logitech mechanical keyboard which happened to be RGB. I did not specifically want an RGB keyboard but it was the one mechanical one that was on sale at the time, and all the cheap(er) mechanical keyboards seem to be the gaming ones these days.

Yeah, so apparently there is no way to natively control or even turn off the lighting from Linux and it always defaults to the most obnoxious scrolling rainbow light show. My home office which I use for working night shifts remotely looks like a goddamn rave, really easy on the eyes when I'm sleep deprived as fuck at 3 AM. Is defaulting to a soft white backlight or something that much to ask for?

This happens on Windows, right? What would happen on Linux, would the keyboard still work as it gets connected?

So, the windows app doesn't work anymore? That's pure garbage.

Training you to be phished.

Is it to download the driver or for something else?

yes but look how good they score on ESG

I know Opera is Chromium based but according to statcounter Opera accounts for nearly the same % (actually slightly higher) overall desktop browser market share (Opera 4.48% : Firefox 5.96%)

Yet support for Opera but not Firefox 🗿

I've owned Logitech mice for years and they've all been solid. I have a Steel series keyboard and I'd like to move away from Logitech, but SteelSeries doesn't make a mouse with enough buttons. I use the G604 right now and it has the right amount of buttons for all the random productivity stuff, like assigning copy, cut, paste, paste as text, etc to buttons. SteelSeries mice either have a few buttons less than I'd like, or a moba mouse with like 30 buttons lol.

I haven't checked Razer but I haven't been thrilled with their previous designs and I just want to consolidate to just one piece of software. I've had a couple of one particular Logitech keyboard and a few of the LED would burn out and only display certain colors. And that was after a year or so.

Add Logitech to the shit pile…ugh

Well I'm definitely not buying stuff from Logitech again

Yeah, nope. Pull that shit and I'll find something else to use, then make a youtube video of me smashing their shit in my driveway.

What's this? I've never seen anything like that on my Arch Linux.

Does this mean no more mice and keyboards from Logitech?

I've used the unification software a lot and it never required a browser for anything. That means that they went out of their way to change the way the program works and make it worse. This seems to be a pretty common practice these days. Companies take a perfectly good program and then actively make it worse. Just leave working stuff alone, damn it!
