Solaar VS g810-led

If it's got the Logitech unifying receiver, it won't work outta the box. You gotta download Solaar

- Solaar: Device manager for Logitech devices (connected via Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receivers + some connected via USB cable / Bluetooth)

from: https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/

Depending on your mouse, Solaar could do the job. I use it in combination to trigger Fly-Pie.

Now moving on to the Linux part. Do you use gnome/kde? Or some tiling DE? I use Solaar and it's lovely! M720 has a perfectly placed gestures button. I use it to move my windows to left/right monitors and switch between upper/lower desktop spaces. The gesture button works flawlessly when you set up solaar correctly.

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why this isn't working as I expect. I'm trying to make a user service to run solaar so that my logitech mouse's scroll wheel behaves like I want without having to open the app manually. The software itself provides a .desktop file for autostart, and I used this as a basis.

I've used Solaar for my MX Master 3, works great. https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/

We don't officially support wireless keyboards or mice for infosec, environmental, and supportability reasons. But if we had to, the established Logitech Unifying and newer Logitech Bolt ecosystem allow for ready re-pairing of dongles with peripherals. Logitech Unifying is fully functional under Linux with solaar from your distro's repos. You have to be astute when buying, to always look for a picture of the dongle with the orange Unifying logo or the safety-yellow Bolt logo, however. If the logo isn't on the packaging or in the promo picture, I can assure you that you will not get a Unifying or Bolt dongle.

Have you tried Solaar?

I use https://github.com/MatMoul/G810-led for my 810, and you could give it a try (might also control RGB on currently-unsupported hardware).

Have you tried this? https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led

I have read all similar issues (not just about this model, but any G, on this sub, and Google-wide) and mostly they are unresolved or hardware related. In my case, since I'm using GNU/Linux primarily (openSUSE Leap 15.4) this keyboard works perfectly (with g810-led even the lighting)!

You can check the g810-led project (https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led) that is actually sending the backlight signals to the keyboard which my app uses. You can also check Solaar (https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar) as it supports MX Keys and has some sort of backlight customization.

I have been using Logitech for years and you can just install Piper to make use of the features like the profiles, configuring the mouse sensitivity, the colors, etc. There is also g810-led. I also wrote my own tool to play around with their HID++ protocol, but never got around to finishing it.

If you want to control the RGB values, look at g810. It works pretty well with my Logitech keyboard.

Here is the program I use to toggle my lights on linux: https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led
