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)

wtf AI in your mouse driver?
Oh yeah, totally not logging your every mouse movement, no sir, not at all!
It’s training itself to pass those mouse based “I’m human” checks that some sites use.
Use the offline installer, which is for offline and airgapped machines. It turns off the AI prompt builder as well as all the telemetry shite:

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.
Man, they really developed the most unfun layout system and then tried to force it to everyone
I have several Logitech peripherals. Why in the fuck does it need AI?!?!
I mean, this was their idea last year…
I feel like “AI Mouse” is right up their alley.
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.
+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
I can’t stand the look of Windirstat lol.
I use explorer++ now because it can show subdir sizes. Unfortunately performance suffers quite a bit because of no caching and unsmart file system lol. Maybe linux has this basic and essential feature in it’s file explorer.
The driver:
There’s something inside you
It’s hard to explain
They’re talking about you, boy
But you’re still the same
The software, afaik there is no actual driver involved.
I like SpaceSniffer, it is almost 10 years old program and I still use it
Same. A pearl in the sand.
Saving this to share at work. What an abomination that, I am sorry you have to deal with it
,
My installation process for a new mouse is as follows: 1 - Attempt to plug it in. 2 - Flip the USB connector. 3 - Plug it in. 4 - Use the mouse.
Is there anything at all to be gained from installing the software that comes with the mouse? Even with extra side buttons, I’ve never had anything not work out of the box.
Edit: OP is remapping buttons. Got it.
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.
Don’t look up how much space Nvidia drivers take then.
Nvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they’re necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.
Narrator: It wasn’t a driver.
