So you are working with a linux machine and thinking of upgrading to a logitech mouse, say the Logitech MX Master 2s. Umm good choice.

But there is a catch- no logitech option app in linux.

You think you will make the requirement configuration in windows machine and switch the mouse over. Hmm, it will not work.

Solution-

Use Solaar open source app (https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar)

Install steps -

  1. Clone repo. — git clone https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar
  2. Install Solaar’s udev rule —

cp <path where you cloned>/rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

3. sudo udevadm control — reload-rules.d

4. cd <path where you cloned> & pip3 install — user .

5. cd ~/.local/bin/

6. run solaar

You should see a screen like this ->

DPI , scroll resolution, etc can be changed from here.

In case you see any connection error, disconnect and re-connect the mouse.
