Logi Options+

“Yes, Options+ is total garbage”

“it would frequently just stop working and my mouse settings would revert to default behavior”

“I had so much bad experience with their dedicated app, consuming 1GB of memory being just one of them”

“They also installed their AI apps to users' computers through their mouse driver without asking anyone.”

“anything that isn't the stock Logitech software is going to be an improvement”

“i had to go back to Logi Options+ on my Mac”

“It's a sad state of affairs that a mouse settings program isn't 'offline' by default.”

“damn options+ update makes all the master 3 broken on the internet”

“needs to have the app constantly running in the background to use the gestures”

“the offline version only compensates for some of the issues with Options+”

“an electron app with a 600MB install footprint requiring online connectivity”

“Logitech's offline installer is 1.2GB.”

“It is awful software, to be sure, but it's not necessary to use the mouse.”

“a steaming pile of shit called Logi Options+ which you need to set up your mouse”

“Tens of GBs of a useless software just for the sake of the process.”

“so it does not eat resources and don't run a useless service in the bg”

“It wants to stay running constantly as a menu bar app, but I don't think there's any reason why that helps me.”

“Logitech ships hardware this good with software this bad is wild”

“Traced it to the options+ auto-update service polling a dead CDN endpoint every 5s.”

“needs a separate different bloated app to configure and they even then don't have all of the settings”

“It still doesnt support changing input of the mouse when you change input of the keyboard.”

“weird-ass electron-AI-login bullshit (just let me use my mouse, WTF)”

“I've found no way to do that on Windows (even with Logitech software).”

“Everyone in the trenches knows the software they pump out is trash”

“made it so the combination of mouse and dongle I was using no longer worked together”

“Logitech forcefully and without my permission downloaded and installed bunch of crap software on my Mac”

“The main topic requires me to pull python dependencies, build, run manually on Mac”

“it removes AI and auto updating and has done the job for me”

“cuts out a lot of the slop and telemetry in the normal version”

“When it does break it's disruptive, or they add some feature I don't want.”

“their software just freaking sucks the electrons out of a battery”

“the biggest pile of garbage I have ever seen call itself a driver”

“a very overcomplicated shitshow of a program what should be run constantly to rewrite the keypresses”

“Always hated Logitech Options bloatware, why should the software drain my battery, phone home, and require screen recording permission”

“the expiration resulted in the software not being able to start successfully”

“When uninstalling the logitech app PearCleaner removed 4GB of content.”

“Logi Options+ stopped working because of an expired certificate.”

“Logi Options+ is 500 MB to configure a few extra buttons on a keyboard or mouse.”

“You Ableton and Logitech issues seem to be the same: screwed up access permissions”

“Logitech's software is stuck in a loop denying it has Bluetooth access”
