Logitech's offline installer is 1.2GB. This application's installer is 15.3MB.
replyOn a matter of principle, it is not shocking to me that it is so big.
replyThe offline installer has to bundle data for all supported products, platforms, languages and dependencies, even the ones you don't need, because you can't tell in advance. The online installer will just download what it needs.
You want "Onboard Memory Manager", which is 12 megs.
replyThat only works with "G" brand gaming devices. Their entire MX line does not allow you to store customizations in onboard memory.
replyI have a "G" series 512 keyboard. And it seemingly can't save anything into the memory (on windows I had to use the logitech's bloatware). And the absolute worst part is that it is set to RGB colors moving around by default, so I've been running openrgb every OS boot to set the lights to a neutral, non-flashing, much much less intensive color. Happy to see alternatives to that.
replyThis is so nuts. It’s literally a multi device mouse - supports 3 bluetooth connections in memory, but I need to install the options app on every single pc/mac I want to use it on. Nuts!
replySeems nuts that you would go through the trouble of air gapping a system then use a Bluetooth keyboard.
replyI'm pretty sure Logitech has wired keyboard and mouses that are probably configurable in some way.
replyOr, a webcam for example, or other peripherals.
I maintain a homebrew tap for the offline Options+: https://github.com/gohanlon/homebrew-tap
replyThe tap includes a GH action to track upstream releases (as long as I notice the PR!). Also, the offline version only compensates for some of the issues with Options+.
It's a sad state of affairs that a mouse settings program isn't 'offline' by default. Except maybe an update check it has zero needs to be online.
