Solaar VS piper

Nano Receiver with USB ID C542 does not use HID++ #1835

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)

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?

When I used G-Hub, I could also save to the mouse. I not longer use Windows, but there is also a Linux native program to configure Logitech gaming mouses, Piper. https://github.com/libratbag/piper

What happened to Piper? The git repository is still somewhat active (last commit fwas a month ago): https://github.com/libratbag/piper

- Piper: Configure gaming mice (e.g. DPI, LED)

https://github.com/libratbag/piper if you are familiar with compiling

I use Piper for controlling the buttons and stuff, but that's because I'm on Linux, so I don't know what alternatives there are for Windows.

If you want to configure what your buttons do, you should take a look at Piper

Check out Piper it is a gui app working on top of libratbag which is a library to interface with Logitech (or other) mice. Check the link for a list of compatible devices

Have you tried Piper?

Yeah I would take piper over any of that bloated peripheral software anyway, gets the job done. There's also other community projects like OpenRazer. For a keyboard I grabbed a System76 Launch, it's a bit pricey but it's super nice and fully customizable via an appimage.
