Yep. The Windows 10 software is dire. If I RDP into my desktop machine the mouse lights up like a damn Christmas tree and won’t stop until I physically unplug it.

It’s a cheap end G203 which I bought because it has a DPI switch on it so I can jump around easily when doing CAD stuff.

I have considered cracking it open and desoldering the LEDs.

The G203 has onboard memory (which also includes RGB light state / startup effect and DPI steps), so once you have your settings right you can just store the profile in the mouse and uninstall the software.

The latest version of the Logitech software (G HUB) doesn't make this feature obvious though, you have to set a local profile then click the gear icon > my gear > click the mouse image > switch on on-board memory mode > click Slot 1 (Default) > click replace with [the profile you just customized, usually Desktop (default.)

The old Logitech Gaming Software was much simpler in this regard.

Ahha! Thank you for this. I will try this today.
