how to install drivers for logitech g403 in linux

Oh well, it was a stretch goal so not too disappointed. From a quick browse at the source I could see that even if I tried hacking it up I wasn’t going to get the LED control I wanted. There is a Sensei 310 mouse listed, but “lsusb” in a console showed my mouse has a different ID. It only took a few minutes to grab the package and give it a try, but sadly it looks like this mouse is just too new so it wasn’t recognised. I didn’t find any official software for Linux, but there is an open source effort on github. Second hurdle coming up, I wondered if I could tie the LED colouring to my CPU load so it went from a light green to an angry red when I started a build job. The now retired Gigabyte mouse just behind, with a tube of glue that was awesome for sticking the rubber pad back on the side So here it is, on my really worn out optical mouse pad. To be exact, slowly changing colours as that is the default LED pattern. So first hurdle for Linux usage passed with flying colours. If the mouse needed any special drivers to work then I was almost certainly sunk, but it worked just fine for everyday office and programming tasks.

That’s what I work in, and even play a few games in, and that’s what I was running. My main operating system is Fedora Linux. That leads me to the second way in which I am a minority audience. With a shrug, I re-plugged it into the USB3 hub in the monitor and it worked. I rather like having mouse and keyboard hanging off one USB connector so it’s a feature I use, but in this case for some reason it wasn’t compatible with this mouse. I’m going to be in a minority here, I have an old USB keyboard with a integral USB hub as that was all the rage a couple of decades ago when the keyboard was purchased. Ignoring the instructions I unpacked it and plugged it in. I don’t know if that is because he is 16 or a Razer owner, but apparently he’s a tough audience. I thought the mouse was well presented in the box, though my son didn’t like the soft foam or all black interior.

Ever since I have been buying on a budget, so a modern quality mouse was something I was eager to try. The last one was a Logitech, can’t remember the model number as it was so long ago but I do remember it lasting well as well as being lovely to use. It’s been a long time since I bought a really decent mouse.
