Tip author’s note

What I like about today's AI era is this: there are plenty of ideas and talented people who never realized their dreams because some piece of the puzzle was missing—coding ability, money, time, etc. OpenLogi is a perfect example of how, if you buy hardware and aren't happy with its software—whether for features or privacy concerns—you can quickly write (or have AI write) an alternative that may be better than what the manufacturer offers.

AI questions & answers
What remapping capabilities does OpenLogi provide for mice?

OpenLogi allows binding any of 44 built-in actions to each physical mouse button. Users can set custom shortcuts, launch applications, and create scripted actions. It also controls pointer resolution and enables cycling through custom DPI presets written directly to the mouse sensor.

How does OpenLogi differ from Logitech Options+ regarding privacy?

Unlike Logitech Options+, OpenLogi requires no account creation, collects no telemetry, and sends no data to the cloud. All settings are stored in a plain TOML file on the user's machine that they can manage and edit directly.

What is the minimum setup time for OpenLogi?

OpenLogi is available as signed packages for macOS, Linux, and Windows, taking approximately one minute to set up. On macOS, Homebrew installation is recommended using brew install --cask openlogi. Users should close Logitech Options+ before launching OpenLogi to avoid HID++ access conflicts.
