That's my pet hate with everything.

A mouse doesn't need an account. Just let me install the shit and configure it you fucks.

[-] Nurgus@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago

Linux has built in drivers for most shit with no account necessary. Logitech (for example) has a third party app called Solaar that does everything Logitechs own crappy mouse/keyboard software does.

Getting away from the endless hassle of popups and drivers was my biggest motivation for switching to Linix way back in 2008.

Does it work with the g pro mice? I fucking hate the logi app

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 months ago

I used it with a G503, it should work.

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

You just connect them as everything Bluetooth in Linux and they work

Then I though it would be nice to see battery levels and stuff, and installed Linux solar and now I have dumb pop ups every once in a while.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sure, but it's not exactly easy to remap all the extra non-standard buttons on my g602 & g604

Not only an account. The Razer Naga needs connection to the cloud so the macros work properly

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Outrageous. Do the macros get processed in the cloud or what?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Cheaper than putting the hardware for it in the mouse.

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 4 points 4 months ago

This shit I don’t get. Your computer can’t handle that? Loading up tons of trash in the cloud is fucking atrocious.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

But now they can say "cloud compatible" in the board meeting!

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

They get processed locally. It's just that some macros are stored in the cloud (except the simple remapping s). So Razer synapse downloads them every time you turn on the computer.

I didn't make a razer account, therefore I had to remake every macro that wasn't a remapping.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Well that is honestly so dumb. Why not just store it locally somewhere?

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I had the same question.

I tried so hard to ask razer support. But I couldn't get a reasonable answer out of them.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I would have returned that instantly upon discovery. I'll add Razer to my denylist of brands.
