Logitech went coocoo a while ago... But since they've put motherfucking ads in their driver (I have never ever thought i would say such a bizarre thing) I've thrown away my lg-stuff and replaced it. After like 20yrs of brand-loyalty. Ads...in....a....driver...which already sucked ass since the switch to lg-hub. Ugh.
What does Logitech make that requires such a driver?
"Require" isn't right OFC. But why would i buy one and use third party stuff that may or may not work with all features of a product?
What is it?
I know what you want to tell me. But I buy product x, y and z and want to use one singular controlling software to, well, control them....
Probably the unifying software (runs multiple peripherals on one dongle) or the solar app (kinda neat, not needed).
Tbf, they make things like sim racing equipment etc
That does not require a proprietary driver. Controller interfaces have been standardized for the last decade.
For controller sure, but bear in mind if you’re looking at something like a wheel with force feedback, and pedals with pressure sensitive response, that changes more than just button presses
Edit: to be clear I’m not defending the shit in this article in question. Just that some of the stuff they do may actually need a driver. But not everything…
