As if constantly pushing more AI slop into their software while making no real improvements wasn’t enough…

All MX master keys are recognized on Linux, but there aren't many extra keys, I don't think the official software lets you create macros either.

In any case, you usually don't need hardware-specific software to create macros on Linux because there are ways to remap keys and actions that are independent to the hardware used.

    there are ways to remap keys and actions that are independent to the hardware used.

    As I've been trying for days to get my logi mouse macros to work the same as it did in windows, I can say that's not true, or I've somehow missed the easy ways to do it.

    The best I've come up with is to remap one key to a keyboard key that activates a separate autoclicker program, which is clunky and sub-optimal to say the least.

    *Two weeks later and I finally have a reasonable solution in input-remapper after trying every other application I could find. It still took a little fudging around with other apps, but it's a much cleaner solution than I had before. Honestly, I'm mostly annoyed at this point that I somehow overlooked this one for so long. It was right there the whole time >.<
