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)
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.
Driver for you mouse? What are you on? MSDOS?
You need it to remap some of the buttons on the side. I have the same garbage just for this purpose.
Input Remapper on linux can get the job done without the need for this junk. I've used it for this exact purpose before.
It mostly can get the job done. Mice that have more then just mouse 4/5 tend to be entirely fucked and good luck.
Baaack in my day we got a driver for our mouse on a single DD floppy...
It wasn't too long ago that a USB mouse would store the divers on the mouse.
That was actually never the case. The default USB mouse driver comes with the OS. And also today any modern mouse will work just fine with the default USB mouse driver in the OS.
What this abomination is is a kind of extended driver that allows the user to e.g. remap buttons on the mouse or control RGB lights. You know, anything but the actual basic functionality of the mouse.
You're thinking of the Titan submersible accident, I think. But they ended up stored on a Logitech controller, not a mouse.
Madness
Narrator: It wasn't a driver.
I have a Logitech mouse. I just used a 3rd party app to remap.
Better mouse for Mac, but looks like you’re on Linux? There’s bound to be something

The driver itself is probably a few megabytes only. The rest is just bullshit in the name of rgb control and preset/dpi control. You seem to be using a Logitech device, you can enable the onboard memory of your mouse, then uninstall this thing and use Logitech's Onboard Memory Manager app instead.
the driver itself is kilobytes in size. Megabytes is huge for such a simple thing
Saving this to share at work. What an abomination that, I am sorry you have to deal with 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.
I love this program by the way!!!
