What's your favorite (software-free) keyboard and mouse for programming?
But I found out you can use it to set settings to the mouse itself, then disable the software. For mx I don't install anything, just use basic windows drivers.
Nobody else has low latency wireless mice like Logitech. So I put up with the software.
okay, I sound like a snake oil salesman. But it has lots of configuration options and no required weird software that needs to be running all the time.
The mouse has hardware buttons on the bottom for DPI and polling rate, and zero software. It's also the most comfortable mouse I've used and has lasted 5 years without any issues. I flashed a custom (open source) firmware to my Ergodox once, never messed with it since then. The Realforce also has no software.

For one of my mice I have a Corsair RGP0075. It's got a USB RF dongle and Bluetooth that's also plug and play. however, if you want to disable the led lights on the mouse you need to install their software.
I use the Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard and the Logitech Ergo M575 trackball mouse pretty exclusively these days
For a mouse I use a TUF Gaming M3[0]. TUF is a lower gaming brand of ASUS. It has configuration software that I set up on my Surface Go tablet. The mouse itself holds config in firmware and can use with any computer without software. The selling point for me is that I can configure the 4 button-selectable DPIs (up to 7000) to match the different screen resolutions I use, and perfect linear response. It's such a good deal that I get several and keep one in my laptop bag and give them to my family, etc. It was also hard to find a mouse with a medium size and symmetric shape. So many are weirdly shaped so that when I move vertically or horizontally holding it naturally, motion skews off-axis. The setup also has a straight-line tracking option, but I leave it off for the times that I do some gaming.
