Hey consumers! Would you like a customizable function button that's actually not customizable? Can we get VC money in the chat?!1/?!?

I thought this might be satire so I visited the logitech website and yep its real.
Would be more useful if you could change the keybind.
Hell, even if you could change it to Copilot. Copilot can be bad, but I don't expect Logitech to have the resources to make a better AI than Microsoft...
I expected nothing less from Logitech
Maybe that is an L and it plays random Weird Al songs when pressed.
Click They see me mowning my lawn
He looked at me. And I looked at him. And he looked at me. And I looked at him. And he says what did you want again?
🎵This song is just six words long🎵
Likely it's as simple as a pop up window with UI dedicated for constructing text with ChatGPT. Very useful, nothing more.
My guess is that you can reassign a different command just like other logi mice.
Turbo... It's that damn "turbo" again but now AI
In the eighties "turbo" was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label "turbo" on it. Now it will be "AI" all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it's gonna be wild...
Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.
Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn't just marketing on computers.
note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz
Indeed. As a silly example, I had a Pacman clone game that ran based on CPU cycle speed. I needed to turn the in-game speed setting way down and toggle turbo off to make it slow enough to be playable.
I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.
Totally makes sense, the non-turbo was always an eco-mode
I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.
Otherwise, it's clear that it fails at being a mouse
Don't worry, logitech comes with a unified receiver driver, new unified app i forget the name of, logitech g hub, logitech options - and you'll be forced to use a combination of at least 2 and likely 3 of those to setup a mouse.
As a bonus, the mouse won't care to remember what button maps where, if used on a device without said software.
A cheap shit MSI Interceptor mouse that I used for 10 fucking years and bought for chum change could remember it's settings because it had persistent memory on device
And Logitech is still scamming the fuck out of people
Will it move the mouse for me?
I got one for work. It literally just pastes into ChatGPT
If you're going to make a button maybe a switch that doesn't double click after a month of use would be better?
I hope it's patented so we can just avoid Logitech.
Best use of patent law
Nestle probably has a patent for 'purifying' mountain water
How about the ability to set a specific dpi at the touch or hold of a button? I don't need to cycle through six settings, just allow me to toggle.
I don't know if it's on any of their other mice, but Logitech does have a DPI shift button on the G502. You hold it down to switch to an alternate DPI and letting go returns it to you normal setting.
That sounds better then what I have run into, so thanks!
Pure AI hype
