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)

    maybe this will help, if you wanted to ditch the logi driver:

    https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar

    Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.

      piper is also great. openrgb works too if all you want is to change led colors.

      I hope one day theres something similar to this, but for 8bitdo.

      I have an 8bitdo keyboard, and in order to map my buttons, I need to boot up a windows 10 hard drive, do my one time edits, save them to the keyboard, and THEN I can turn off the pc, swap back to my ZorinOS hard drive, and THEN I can go about as normal.

      And if for some reason somethings wrong, or didn’t take, I’d have to repeat the whole process all over again.

      All because the keyboard manager doesn’t work on linux. But it’s not logitech.

        Sell the 8bitdo keyboard and buy one instead that is capable of running with QMK or ZMK firmware and is configurable by either VIA or VIAL.

          Wooting keyboards are also really nice, and are configured through a web interface. It’s also a Dutch company, so if you want to buy European it’s definitely a good choice :)

            A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?

            I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

            QMK and ZMK are FOSS firmwares that can run on Atmel AVR and ARM chips like the RP2040.

            VIA or VIAL are config utilities that you can use to remap your keyboard on the fly.

            I’m going to assume these are open source apps because for some reason that’s how those guys like to name stuff.

        I have a Flydigi gamepad and I can use a virtual machine with tiny11 to change the configuration. The connection isn’t super stable but for the few times I have to do it, it works.
