tl;dr: OpenLogi is a local-first, Rust-based alternative to Logitech Options+ that talks directly to Logitech mice over HID++ to remap buttons, control DPI, and configure SmartShift, with no account or telemetry. Bindings live in a plain TOML config file, and it supports Bolt, Unifying, Lightspeed, Bluetooth, and wired connections across signed macOS, Linux, and Windows builds. Per-app profiles, Options+ import, and Flow-style cross-machine features are on the roadmap; users must quit Options+ (or Solaar on Linux) to avoid HID++ conflicts.
HN Discussion:
  • Logitech's official software is bad and needs open source alternatives
  • Pointing to existing alternatives like Solaar, BetterMouse, or BetterTouchTool
  • AI/LLM-generated website copy and vibe-coded projects undermine trust in the tool
  • AI is empowering developers to replace poor vendor software, sharing similar reverse engineering efforts
  • Hardware vendors should adopt better approaches like WebUSB or offline offerings
