Just open the page and then browser’s developer tools, make it reporting us as Windows, and it just works after reloading.
Or better yet, just don’t buy Logitech products and look for non hostile brands
One can use Solaar as an alternative. I did and it worked well.
Solaar works great for all the random mice I’ve gotten through work - MX, MX nano, MX 2, mx3, MX vertical (they really like the MXs).
Do you by any chance know how to configure Solaar so that the LEDs don’t change to the default pattern every time I plug or unplug my mouse? It’s the one annoyance I’ve run into.
I don’t believe Solaar can change RGB settings, but OpenRGB seems to support quite a few Logitech mice.
Solaar does work to change it, it’s just that I have to go back and change it again every time I plug it in to charge, and then once more when I unplug it.
Looks like OpenRGB doesn’t list my specific mouse but does support the wired version, so maybe I’ll give it a try.
No clue, sorry. Consider opening an issue on their repository. :)
You can use Solaar, which works okay but I can’t rebind the side buttons on my mouse. Fuck Logitech for being a featured exhibitor at the 2025 Border Security Expo though. As far as I’m concerned they don’t deserve to continue to exist as a company.
Logitech is actually one of the most Linux-friendly brands out there.
This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem is more or less dead in current years due to non-chrome browsers declining to add support.
Logitech products have plenty of Linux-friendly tooling like Solaar and G810-led because Logitech tacitly makes it easy to reverse engineer and hack on their hardware.
You’re missing part of the point that UA sniffing has always been flawed, and it’s a terrible way to check for functionality. It’s much better to test whether the function exists or does something than to try to rely on UA. It really isn’t reasonable to rely on UA in the first place
Sure, 100% with you from a technical POV.
But Logitech is looking at it from a product management lens, and deciding they don’t want to support a heterogeneous mess of a web API for a niche user base that already has their own parallel tooling.
logiwebconnect.com is not some cherished keystone of their product suite either, afaict.
WebUSB was always an insane idea to me. The web has just gotten ridiculous
Lack of support for webusb is a shame, because it’s a very easy way to flash a Pixel phone.
But I understand not wanting to implement it, because it feels like a huge potential for security problems.
Is this why my Logitech mouse is so sluggish at times across different applications on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed?
This is about their website, so definitely not. It’s hard to say what your problem might be without more info.
On Windows, I used to work off of a usb thumb drive for portability. My Logitech mouse, and whole system would randomly dramatically slow down. Moved to Linux Mint. Working off the hard drive I had no problems. I needed some data off that thumb drive yesterday, and fifteen minutes after I plugged it in, random slowdowns just like on my Windows machine. Not going to lie, on Windows, I always blamed it on the Logitech mouse.
I just so happened to have a Logitech mouse (an M570 from 2011), so I don’t have to deal with the DRM.
