Karabiner-elements: Logitech Gaming Software Not Working (macOS Sierra v0.90.44)

Created on 28 Sep 2016  路  11Comments  路  Source: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

Similar to a previous issue with Logitech Control Center devices, Logitech Gaming Software devices aren't being recognized and all of my prescribed hotkeys on my G602 Mouse aren't working. I am on the latest version 0.90.44.
Luckily, my external keyboard allows me to remap keys at the hardware level (using WASD V3 61-key) and I can use my mouse's hotkeys at the same time without Karabiner-Elements running; but it would still be nice to have software persist my configs.

Here is a solution to the problem (most likely) if you have Karabiner Elements installed.

Is there a way to define the Keyboard for which the changes should be in the karabiner.json file? I have the same problem under Sierra... it's the worst update ever...

Same problem with a g-402. I'm no osx developer but given that someone could point me to the relevant code I'll be happy to get my feet wet.

Howdy,

There's a similar issue with the SteelSeries Engine 3. Since some of the mouse buttons are exposed as a keyboard device, my side buttons stop working when Karabiner-Elements is running.

Same on v0.90.45 and v0.90.46, can I somehow ignore Logitech devices? I tried to ignore vendor id 0x46D (Logitech) but I don't know where I should add that code. That would be workaround for me for now.

ok I fixed it (workaround?)

just add:

    auto vendorId = hid.get_vendor_id();
    if (vendorId && *vendorId == 0x46d) {
      return;
    }

after:

    auto manufacturer = hid.get_manufacturer();
    if (manufacturer && *manufacturer == "pqrs.org") {
      return;
    }

in 4 places in device_grabber.hpp

Hey, there has been a recent update for the Logitech gaming software http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/lgs. The issue of it not starting and complaining about the firmware is fixed. However I still have issues with Karabiner stopping my mouse(G502) binds from working. I have my profiles stored on my mouse, when karabiner is enables I can't use mouse left/right to switch spaces, or other mission control bindings.

Karabiner-Elements v0.90.58 has Devices tab in Preferences which allows you to exclude specific devices.
Please use the latest version and exclude your Logitech devices from the list in Devices tab.

Here is a solution to the problem (most likely) if you have Karabiner Elements installed.

This just came up for me again in a reinstall-- I believe it would be very helpful for Karabiner to be disabled by default for Logitech gaming mice. Certainly at least the G502 which I can confirm does not work with it.

@kpapiez wow thank you!
