Why does a mouse need an app, again?
So your mouse driver can have AI in it, apparently. https://www.logitech.com/en-us/software/logi-ai-prompt-build...
Just to highlight: The offline installer (supposedly for business environments) does not include AI. It can be installed directly on top of the regular application.

Yooo, I've been so frustrated with Logitech! I have an MX Mechanical Mini keyboard and MX Ergo mouse. For some reason they don't pair to the same dongle because the dongles are different and not interchangeable. In addition, whatever dongle is plugged into the right USB-A port of my laptop always lags for some reason. Does Solaar solve those issues?
I've found that using a short usb extension cable with those wireless dongles, rather than plugging them directly into the computer, works loads better and fixed "lag" issues for me. Maybe some kind of EMF interference?

Razer and Cherry both have low profile switches, apparently Kailh are also low profile.
You seem to not have read/understood OP's problems. He stated mechanical switches are not what he wants. Now if you can suggest switches with a membrane feel that would be helpful - I'm not aware of any but I don't know everything.
I'd love to see this ported to Mac. Just discovered the bloody AI prompt builder enabled by default in my mouse driver today. After patiently declining input recording permission for months. Managed to get rid of the most of bloatware using their corporate "Offline" version which supposedly doesn't phone home and doesn't ask for extra permissions. YMMV. https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/11570501236119-Lo...
Logitech implements the forward and backwards buttons on macOS in a REALLY weird way. It simulates swipe events. And you cannot set them to the default Mouse Forward and Mouse Backward (M4/M5). https://superuser.com/a/1216049 On Windows that is what I do to make sure behavior is consistent across applications.

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 also have an MX vertical which uses the unifying receiver. Then I also have a pro x superlight, which has yet another receiver. I believe they call that one lightspeed or something.
So now I have 3 separate adapters for 3 devices, all of which theoretically support pairing multiple devices (I think the lightspeed only does 3 though).

Bluetooth Low Energy with some Logitech sauce added into it. Apparently encrypted and marketed for use in contexts where FIPS level security would be required.
It's bluetooth 5 with more tx power as far as I understand

It's so good in fact that I wish it existed for macOS so I wouldn't need to use the official Logitech crap
I wonder why setting DPI and stuff like that were never added to the standards so the baseline drivers can use them?

Their major flaw is that they purposefully use shitty switches that fail, sometimes within months. This is true even with their absurdly overpriced gaming mice. I have never had a mouse whose buttons failed until I bought a logitech. Every person I know raves about them until you ask them how many they've had to buy.
Semi-agree. I've had 2 mx525s fail within ~6 months of purchase but I've also had a mx anywhere 2s that I bought used and got 3 years of usage out of it before I had to replace the switches. I wouldn't buy a cheap mouse from them again.
Since we're on the topic of Logitech keyboards, does anyone know of a wired-only keyboard that has the same feel as the "Logitech MX Keys S Wireless"? I love this keyboard's feel, but I need to switch to wired-only for $reasons.
