Love my Logitech mouse, keyboard, and webcam. Their software not in the same league as their hardware.

Cool project, but I hate how every new site has this obviously LLM generated copy :( I feel like most people who use it for their copy don’t realize how obvious it is.

It's not open source but I have to shout out Steermouse which has been replacing Logitech's awful Mac software for ~25 years https://www.plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/download.php

In case it’s not known, Logitech does offer an offline version of Options+ meant for air gapped and more secured systems: https://support.logi.com/hc/change_language/en-in?return_to=...

For Linux, there is https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar But on another note, the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer. It sticks out like sore thumb.

Looks like someone stole LinearMouse's code and vibed it better . https://linearmouse.app/zh-CN/

- stupid question: what exactly does this do and why do I need it?

Good to see open source alternatives to the awful Logitech software. I only realized how bad the Logitech software is after switching from a G502 with on-board memory to an MX Master mouse that does not have on-board memory and needs to have the app constantly running in the background to use the gestures. Personally I've been using BetterMouse on macOS with my MX Master, although it's not open source.

Nice job on the app and the website. It looks really good.

I've been using Mouser but it keeps crashing on MacOS 27 beta for me and at 500MB+ of memory use it appears to be approaching the official app's heaviness... So this appeared at just the right moment for me, thanks!

Name leaves me optimistic it could support keyboards in future

Fast download for me. But immediately denied. Doesn't run on Mac intel hardware.

Very basic flow of adding a device connected via Bluetooth seems broken. Would love this to work but think it needs a few more months development.
