And of course they had to shoehorn some AI bullshit in it
(why I installed this driver: because i can remap the two extra buttons as copy/paste)
Actual driver code: about 500KB. If that.

Saving this to share at work. What an abomination that, I am sorry you have to deal with it
I have several Logitech peripherals. Why in the fuck does it need AI?!?!
Because CEOs.
We live in the age of bloated software.
The Internet is so bloated because every page is bursting with telemetry and spa framework bullshit that over engineers a fucking music recital site.
X mouse button control
It can't detect some of the fancier buttons and gestures but it can often pickup buttons 4 and 5 for remapping, and it does chording and long press options to give you multiple functions without any AI bullshit.
i wonder if a open source driver alternative exists.
Piper is less than 2MB, and allows reconfiguring Logitech mouse buttons. It's available in Debian and Ubuntu package managers.
Screenshot:
I had to use Piper to get exotic features like having mouse 6, 7, 8 buttons function as mouse 6, 7, 8, rather than the default of alt-tab and ctrl-v.
I never thought to look for something like this, but it looks fantastic so i’m going to try it. Thanks!
would be cool if it also worked on Windows and Macos
Does it still allow macros? I have a couple of 502s and my older one has fallen victim to the common problem of rhe switch getting bouncey so one click becomes multiple. Supposedly macros can fix this.
My 903 did that, and so did the one they replaced and now your making me worry about my 502. It's shitty switches so a macro would hide it for a little at best. I tried to replace them but these are not fun to open up.
If your mouse drivers allow setting the debounce timer, you can set it higher so that your system doesn't allow the bouncing to register.
This is a physical defect. Macros make one key press effect one or more action button or key press. For instance if a common operation involves pressing a b and c in sequence you can make one button on your mouse actuate that sequence.
You can't bind a macro to left click because then you can't left click anymore. Even if you bound double clicking to single click (if this is even possible) it would mean every time it single click you would effect nothing which is equally if not more broken.
You need to either take your mouse apart and fix it or throw it in the trash.
Yes, it is a physical defect but it is common enough that people have been able to work around it with macros.
It's been a while since I tried to look into this or fix it, but a quick search shows what I think was a possible solution. (Might not be, I'm just trying to be explanatory of what I mean by a macro fixing a double click problem.) https://techenclave.com/t/mouse-double-click-issue-solution-by-coding/269878

+1 for using space sniffer. It's the best of such apps I've found. Unfortunately doesn't seem to get updated any more.
Windirstat or kdirstat for the win
Windirstat crew represent
Move to WizTree. Thank me later
Windirstat is slow. For my Linux homies we use Qdirstat. 8tb full picture of each filesize, faster than I can blink
You want fast? Ask Sonic. Ugly Sonic goes sloooooooow, baby!
Same. Surprised to see so many people talking Windows on Lemmy.

We detected you moved your mouse. Downloading 1GB of AI telemetry and 3GB of user experience optimizations…
Fuck electron, fuck "web first" apps, fuck the "all application in the future will be websites" mentality.
The sad reality of the end of Windows dominance.
