Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse

  I use my 602 (the wireless one) on linux with an open-source mouse app called Piper. Does everything GHub can do - at least as far as my needs go.

  Good recommendation.

  I’d be stuck in the ASUS ROG bloatware environment with BSODs were it not for G Hub! Great app.

    You need to share some context for that statement lol. What are you talking about?

      G Hub is an open source controller for GPU/CPU.

      My ASUS Republic of Gamers laptop constantly BSOD’d with the issue being related to Asus’s proprietary “Armoury Crate” suite of applications. These applications are terrible, buggy bloatware.

      Removing all traces of “Armoury Crate” from my system and using G Hub to replace it ended the BSODs I was receiving without sacrificing any functionality.

  My G503 started requiring the Windows app to set any other RGB than rainbow patterns.

  I had it set to off, it used to store on the mouse, now I need to install and run Windows to have it not flashbang me.

  I used black tape. I don’t recommend this dumb thing to anyone, anymore.

    That is still an option, but there is a tradeoff. There is a button in the software to enable on-board memory mode.

    You lose all your key assignment controls and fine-tuned DPI settings, but it stores on the device. If you want to have those features available, the mouse needs some software on the PC to talk to for more fine-grained control.

      That’s the thing, I used to be able to set profiles, set what the buttons do as well as the DPI in each profile and their colour, and it used to store in memory.

      They removed it. You need this application for it, now. Or think it makes sense all of this can’t be stored in memory. Point is still that the only colour setting without this is bright rainbow patterns.
