A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Alternatively, you can assign one of Logitech’s Smart Actions to the key to, say, ask Perplexity for an answer to your query in your browser. Or, you can just set it to be right CTRL.

Entirely reprogrammable though, as with most uses of "AI" it's just a buzzword to sell to a few extra chumps.

But it still acts as a separate non standard key, does it? So yo9u need the Logitech software to assign a key. Does the software need to run in the background or does the keyboard saves it in the hardware?

Good point, I've used a Logitech mouse and I think that needs software (FOSS implementation available) for button remapping, could be different for a keyboard though

FOSS implementation available

Got a link, mate? Been looking for a while for one

Solaar is the one I use, it was a Lemmy recommendation and I think there's at least one other implementation out there

I forgot about Solaar!! Thank you for the reminder! I can't believe I forgot about it
