Is flatpak really the future?
Or maybe create one for thinkfan-ui or keyboard-center - ah wait Flatpak does not support udev rules and packaging PyQT5 in Flatpak is a nightmare to begin with.

Keyboard Center - a nice (wip) tool for mapping macro keys of Logitech keyboards with OpenRGB support
A few days ago I stumbled of the (pretty new) tool keyboard-center, which allows mapping the special macro keys of Logitech keyboards _(using a G910 here)_.

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

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

Logitech M720 Triathlon - What do you think of it?
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.

Runit script for Solaar
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.

Fedora for gaming/VirtualBox?

Silly problem but what are you guys doing for keyboard/mouse setup?
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.
