What does HackerNews think of piper?

On Win 10 ours randomly changes dpi. The multi-user setup is abysmal; one user can screw up another's settings. It spams notifications when you cause a quick-change-dpi event (you can turn off notifications, it's a weird default). It works very badly without the app running, ie it's a soft-mouse tailored to Windows. There's no Logitech Linux app (though the one I use is superior to the Windows app, IMO, clearer with less cruft -- https://github.com/libratbag/piper). Latest update reverted my dpi settings.

I'm not particularly impressed.

https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl should do it. I've got a 6900XT and undervolting works fine. So does core clock and fan curve, but memory clock has issues: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/139 (edit: that issue is closed, so maybe it works now).

As far as peripherals, sometimes it works better than windows and sometimes not great. I'd look up the specific wheel you plan to buy and see if it's supported or someone has built something to support it. For example, you've got piper (https://github.com/libratbag/piper) for Logitech devices.

You can change it/turn it off. There's even a free software app to manage logitech mice:

it's a GUI app, it looks pretty nice. It's also in the Debian repos, so you can just install it with "apt install piper"

Looks pretty simple to me.

Huh, interesting. I have an older Logitech G700s mouse, so it uses the older Logitech software. I never had any issue with it on a Mac. I only used it occasionally to adjust the onboard settings, and then forget about it for years on end.

I now have a G703 (so new G Hub software) and while I haven't tried that on the Mac, I can configure the onboard settings from Windows or from Linux [0] with no issues whatsoever (aside from setting a button to show the battery level, which, for some reason, doesn't work).

[0] The Logitech software doesn't work on Linux, but Piper/ratbag work just fine.

You can remap all G502 buttons to HID mouse button events, just not using any Logitech-supplied software.

Fortunately, these mappings are persistent, so reconfiguring the mouse from a Linux VM, once and for all, was, for me at least, a reasonable alternative.

Unfortunately, the mappings are sufficiently persistent that I don't remember the name of the Linux (command-line) utility that I used several years ago to configure my G502, but a quick Google search suggests the Piper[1] GUI app may be up to the task.

Caveat: if you ever plan on using the mouse with Windows, bear in mind that the Windows HID mouse driver only directly supports buttons 1–5 (though I have observed that the remainder do generate events in the underlying driver stack, so you could hypothetically work around this limitation by writing a filter driver to remap the events, assuming no such driver currently exists).
