The code is right here: https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi

What makes you say this is stolen from LinearMouse?

i can see the resemblence and that's what separates the more marketable app.

You can't vibe things better. You vibe them shinny, but often make them worst.

I'm still quite often amazed by BTT's capabilities, for example right now by the fact that they bothered to implement Logitech's HID++ protocol.

There's also BetterMouse for macOS. I use it with a Logitech mouse and it works very well. https://better-mouse.com/

I'm curious if OpenLogi might be better. Despite the vibecoding accusations here, it has 55 contributors, is open source and seems well designed.

BetterTouchTool is on my list of things to look into for a long time.

Was not aware it is even possible to replace the shitty logitech surveillance software. thanks for the tip!

Can you give maybe an example of a `funky stuff` for the mouse, like those touchpad gestures? i cant think of any, just to get an idea

I've had a paid licence for it for many years but I have ended up shying away from using it because the UI is just so cumbersome. An incredibly powerful piece of software though.

Last time I checked the underlying daemon, libratbag, didn't have support for the G502X wireless mouse and although there were Issues and Pull Requests open, no movement had been made towards getting those in.

Mouser is so bad at leaking memory i had to go back to Logi Options+ on my Mac...

I once heard a story about an old Logitech webcam driver in windows. Once it was installed, it would always scan for the webcam and if it wasn’t detected it would write to an error log. So if you set up the webcam once and then got rid of it without uninstalling the driver it would always dump logs upon logs. Eventually a user had their entire disk space filled and when they dug into it they found a single tens or hundreds of GB log file. Uninstalling the driver fixed it.

You love having to replace your mouse regularly because Logitech intentionally uses shit switches to force people to keep buying their products?

Typically the wireless mice connect over noon-bluetooth wireless protocols and offer bluetooth as fallback, if at all.

Click-to-screen latency is a combination of reporting rate, polling rate and latency within the software stack. Default USB HID polling rate is 125Hz so if you don't do anything extra on top this is what you get anyway. Even higher grade "office" mice offer higher reporting rates than that, "gaming" mice can easily be 1 kHz.

I always thought this is a rule of thumb, but then I learned that wireless gamepads for popular consoles (back then it was PS3/PS4 era) don't really follow that pattern. I came across multiple tests where older wireless PS controllers and xbox controllers were consistently more responsive in practice.

For modern ones there are some cool posts like this one [1], where most of the time there "were no statistically significant difference", or even wireless was more responsive.

Gamepads always impressed me - they can deliver insanely good response times while streaming high quality audio with no lag. I never found other BT accessories for phones/computers that were even close to that smooth experience.

For pro gaming perhaps the difference would make the slightest difference. For casuals, let alone office workers, the difference is 0 (writing this with a mx master 4 next to me).

Saying this as someone who has tried dozens of mice in my life. Last corded-one, bought for my son yesterday (razer cobra minecraft edition). I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference between wired and wireless in a blind test.

or you can just use wifi dongle one

there is no reason not to, even pro player in esports is using wireless mouse

the technology is there even for top 1%
