How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse - Lemmy.World

I have been using Logitech peripherals for years. Logitech gear always just worked. Now they demand internet accounts to use the features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased. WTF? Not only that, have to use wide-open-to-snooping Chrome to adjust the settings. You cannot adjust/use your mouse and keyboard if you just use Firefox. This only makes sense if they are planning (or are already) tracking my every move online to sell to advertisers or spooks. What are the good options? Also, if anybody sees how these changes could be benign, please let me know.

I use a Logitech mouse and do not have the problems you are talking about.
Me either. I have a G502 and I have the G Hub app to control the features(DPI, button assignments, RGB), but I’ve never needed an account to use it.

Good recommendation.

I’d be stuck in the ASUS ROG bloatware environment with BSODs were it not for G Hub! Great app.

You need to share some context for that statement lol. What are you talking about?

G Hub is an open source controller for GPU/CPU.

My ASUS Republic of Gamers laptop constantly BSOD’d with the issue being related to Asus’s proprietary “Armoury Crate” suite of applications. These applications are terrible, buggy bloatware.

Removing all traces of “Armoury Crate” from my system and using G Hub to replace it ended the BSODs I was receiving without sacrificing any functionality.
