Logitech Mouse Configuration Software Requires Account, Telemetry, and Cloud Sync
Users of Logitech peripherals must install Options+, a heavyweight background service with account creation and telemetry, just to remap buttons or set DPI on hardware that could be configured locally. This creates unnecessary resource overhead and privacy exposure for a simple, offline configuration task. Existing lightweight alternatives exist but are incomplete, leaving gaps like missing per-app profiles.
