This is Logitech’s gaming software but I purchased a g-series for the mechanical keyboard not for the gaming aspect. I installed the Logitech “G-hub” software for the new Big Sur update. If you’re looking to avoid it, for any reason, or no reason at all. Maybe one of those will work better for you than the Logitech software. StreamDeck if you want special buttons, Keyboard Maestro if fn- or combo-keys are good enough, and so on. Might work without the Logitech software, might not.įor more advanced features, there are other tools. I don’t use either of those, they would cramp my fingers if I used them regularly. There’s another button (with an icon that looks like the Windows logo), and the scroll wheel can also be pushed side-to-side for side scrolling (I guess). Regular click, right/Control-click, and the scroll wheel all work without the Logitech software. It has more buttons/functions than I want to use, myself. (Long-term chronic tendonitis sufferer here.)
I’ve tried a bunch, and really like the Logitech M557, for the way it feels in my hand. I’m personally a fan of simplicity with my mouse. (Not so much for the original poster, who answered this question, but for others.) Which device do you have, and how advanced is your usage? If the device does what you want without the Logitech software, then don’t install it.
