6/19/2023 0 Comments Logitech gaming software crashes![]() The Logi Analytics Client is clearly some sort of feedback collection service that’s supposed to run in the background to gather feedback on how I use the mouse and its configuration. Even before the Windows shell is displayed, I got a problem report from Windows saying that “Logi Analytics Client (UNICODE) has stopped working”. When I installed the Logitech Gaming Software I got an unwanted additional component that caused problems every time I logged in to Windows. Notably, this is the only option that has to be applied anew if you plug the G403 into another USB port on your computer. ![]() It took a little while, but I eventually found an option called “Device Startup Effects”. Regardless, this option was not to blame. Despite being presented as a on-board memory configuration option, the lighting sleep timer only works on Windows with Logitech Gaming Software installed. This feature would turn off the lights after a configurable amount of inactivity. I found an option called “Lighting Sleep Timer” in the Lighting section in the Gaming Software center. I also noticed a firmware update for the mouse (!), but applying this didn’t resolve the problem but did instead introduce new issues (!) which I’ll get back to later. But the problem would reappear after a reboot. Notably, the lighting effects also came on again after opening Logitech Gaming Software. I opened Logitech Gaming Software again, and every lighting setting appeared to be correct. The mouse has some internal memory for storing configuration, so I assumed the configuration must have been changed during the software installation. The problems persisted even when I plugged the mouse into different computers running Linux or MacOS. The same would happen again just before the Windows boot sequence finished (which causes the internal USB hub to power cycle.) The LEDs on the mouse would flash a couple of times and then turn off right after powering on the system. I noticed some new issues even before the system had rebooted. This seems more than a little excessive just to support a mouse but I went ahead and rebooted anyway. I was prompted to reboot the system after installing Logitech Gaming Software. Stopped working after installing Logitech Gaming Software The basic operations of the mouse worked fine as well that’s until I installed Logitech’s management software. The factory default lighting effects on the G-logo and the scroll wheel worked fine out of the box on MacOS 10.12, Linux (Fedora 27), and Windows 10. This specific model seems to have a multitude of issues, so rather than a review I’ll just detail the issues I’ve encountered and you can make up your mind about the quality of the G403. The Logitech G403 wired (also available wireless) is a ‘gaming mouse,’ which means it’s high-sensitivity, is more expensive, and is decorated with pulsating and colorful LEDs. But it does have pretty pulsating colored lighting effects at least until you install their the Logitech Gaming Software. In addition, the rev indicator LED on the G29 work on selected games natively, but some requires 3rd-party software to work (See also Support in game).The Logi G403 gaming mouse has issues with everything from hardware design to its firmware and software. ![]() The wheels are supported in games that incorporate Logitech's steering wheel SDK, but requires Logitech Gaming Software or Logitech GHub to be installed in order to work. Optional Logitech G Driving Force Shifter (sold separately) can be connected to the wheel to provide H-pattern gear shift.įor compatibility reason, the G29 has a slider switch that allows it to switch between PS3 mode for PlayStation 3, and PS4 mode for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Unlike previous Logitech racing wheel that relies on optical sensor, the G29 and G920 use the hall-effect sensors for accurate and reliable steering position tracking. They were included with a pedal set with 3 spring-loaded, potentiometer-based pedals, with the brake pedal has a rubber stop to simulate progressive braking force. Just like their predecessor, the G27, the wheels has dual-motor, helical gear-driven force feedback system. ![]() The G29 is a PlayStation-specific wheel, while the G920 is a Xbox-specific wheels. The Logitech G29 and Logitech G920 are racing wheels released by Logitech in July 2015 and October 2015 respectively.
