As if it wasn't bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I'm not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver: This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver

For the curious: https://logiwebconnect.com

EDIT: some people on the thread have brought up that the error message being displayed for Firefox users is due to the WebUSB API not being implemented by Firefox due to security concerns. This still does not justify having to use a web app to plug peripherals to a PC.

sorry to drop in with an opinion, but I love my mouse festooned with buttons. Logitech and Razer have FUCKED UP MY DREAM

@sorebuttfromsitting @JGrffn Have a look at Logitech G600 mouse, 20 buttons plus shift, scroll wheel w/ tilt. Go nuts.

To those wanting to jump ship, Logitech isn't the only mouse/keyboard company doing this and they've been trending in this direction for a while (ever since they ditched Unifying Receiver for Logi Options).

Yeesh

So...I guess I will stick to wired peripherals then.

If I am understanding what this is all about ... Then I think, if they had put forth even a tiny bit of effort, they could have come up with a solution that doesn't require a website for installing.

Many services try to get to use their bullshit app, I have never seen one forced you to connect to internet.

Well netgear routers started to require accounts, went to trash lol
