Logitech G502 X not recognized by Piper
On the Piper github page, it lists the G502 X in this device list, but it isn't listed in this device list, so I don't know if it's actually supported. Has anyone been able to get it working?

Gamer thinking of swapping to Linux, have some compatibility concerns.
I also have a G502 hero which can be customized by ratbag/piper. You can create profiles, but I don't think it's possible to autoswap them. Also it might be just me but I also had troubles with setting up the buttons the way I wanted and even today I don't use all the buttons available because of that.

Power supply status of G Pro Wireless doesn't update automatically
Writing configuration to the mouse seems to update the uevent and associated files. I've done it with libratbag (which is what Piper uses): ratbagctl rate set 1000

Extension, plugin, or package for to use "mouse movements" to scroll(?)
try Solaar. it's meant to manage Logitech devices on linux. I'm not sure if what you're looking for is possible with it, but it's worth a shot. I remember something similar with a Logitech mouse once, it was by holding down one of the extra buttons and moving the mouse. maybe something like that is possible with this too?

Check out Solaar, they're specialized in Logitech support so I think you might have better chances with that tool. And it allows pretty complex custom rules so you should be able to create all the Macros you need https://i.imgur.com/65tDBs3.png
