I got caught up in my work, thought it was only 9:35 pm, but it was actually near midnight. * The clincher: The "G" menu bar item finally crashed, and caused everything after it in the menu bar to stop responding. * When assigning a key-press with modifier (for example: Shift-M) to a mouse button, LGS seems to put a lot of extra milliseconds in between them, leading to very strange results in some apps. Your mouse will be glacially slow during this time, unless you used default DPI settings (not likely), and custom button assignments will not work. * After boot, wake from sleep, or even coming back from a screen saver, LGS takes several seconds to "wake up" and start working. Setting that to the 2nd or 3rd notch worked. On a hunch, I discovered that the built-in OS X preference pane Mouse > Tracking Speed may be intended to work alongside LGS.
* No acceleration controls, just DPI and polling speed. This bug was discussed several months ago on the Logitech forums, and acknowledged. There is a workaround to return all of a profile's settings to defaults-then, even though the wheel tilt areas don't light up when moused over, at least the assignments are floating in mid-air, and you can right-click on those to re-assign. * LGS didn't display the G700s' left/right mouse-wheel tilt in the UI, so nothing could be assigned. It can be hidden in your Dock after booting, but if you ever need to launch LGS to adjust something, there will be a giant "G" sitting in the Dock until you reboot again.
So you must have LGS running all the time. kext files, if you quit LGS, custom mouse buttons stop working. * Even though LGS installs a couple of extension. So I temporarily put Steermouse away and gave this a shot, since LGS "takes over" any Logitech hardware that it sees. I wanted to buy a Logitech G710+ mechanical keyboard, which necessitated using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) to access the extra keys. It also enables some cool features on that mouse, not accessible otherwise.īut there are still problems. I managed to get everything I needed mapped onto my Logitech G700s mouse, including a Shift-Right-Click using the Macro editor. The overall design is much more ambitious, and it has handy features like being able to copy an app profile and a GUI of the hardware you're working with. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver.
