IIRC I installed the Logitech software in a VM, programmed the the mouse, deleted the VM.

All I wanted to do is turn off the rainbow LEDs

Next time I get a new mouse I'll try Solaar.

Sadly the MX family of mousen need the Logitech Software for customisation. It's not saved on the mouse, so if Logi Options is not running the mouse operates in default state, with no custom button mappings, etc.

I've used the logitech g305 for at least 6 years now, and thankfully that one lets you write a profile to the chip on the mouse.

it works fine for me on windows, only annoyance is google maps, switching to street view, one wheel rotation unit acts like 15, so switches back and forth uncommanded to street mode and out
