Bolt is logitech's newer wireless protocol (with devices using a dongle rather than bluetooth) that's supposed to be more secure than the older one.
I think the real highlight of the Bolt receiver is being able to pair up to 6 devices with just a single receiver.
I'm using this right now! It's awesome!
Seems you need to know the exact keycodes, or names, or whatever key you want to use. Like XF86_MonBrightnessUp. Want to add a combo? not sure how to do that either.

Not cross platform, difficult to theme or style to Logitech brand guidelines?
Do the users care about that? Or just the management? And mouse drivers aren't typically cross platform anyway, right?
Management absolutely cares, they have a whole design guidebook why wouldn’t they follow it??
And the drivers likely aren’t cross-platform in the sense of “the windows DLL is just dead code on a Mac”, but the UI of the software can be the same across platforms. The executable is likely a tiny bit of platform-specific launcher code and then cross-platform electron fun.

Also they've been very slow to adopt optical switches compared to other brands, a handful of their high end gaming mice have them, but the vast majority of their range still uses the same old mechanical switches that tend to start erroneously double clicking after a while.
If your mouse starts double clicking, play a game of Quake 3 for an hour, or just click a bit more aggressively for the next hour. It clears the problem, per my experience. What I understood is, the switches on these mice (I have G700) are practically abuse-proof. However, they don’t like to be used lightly and start to glitch possibly from fine dust. Using the switches more aggressively cleans them up. My first gene…

That sounds like a job for contact cleaner, assuming it’s possible to non-destructively get a tube next to the switches. I’m about to open my second bottle. My first bottle is from the 1990’s.
I've had an MX Master mouse (the "2" for maybe 8-9 years then the "3" for 2-3 years now) and love it. Great performance, great battery life, fantastic design and feel. On Windows I definitely do not love the 150Mb program to manage it (surely sending a torrent of unnecessary telemetry data back to Logitech. I found Solaar a couple months ago after getting repeatedly frustrated with bluetooth connection issues. It rea…
Logitech's might be a large download, but their Windows software still seems far more optimized than Corsair's. After a few days of uptime, Corsair's processes would have nearly an hour of CPU time. Logitech's would have a couple minutes at most. I replaced all my Corsair equipment with Logitech or others after seeing that.

Nah, I deployed Logitech for ~300 users in a manufacturing environment for years and they were just fine. You got unlucky or are beating the shit out of them.
Agree. It's rare to find a failed Logitech mouse.
