Just been looking at the Logitech Unifying Receiver USB dongle that comes with Logitech Wireless Keyboards, Wireless Mice, and similar. I didn't know this before, but they are reprogrammable by the end-user. You just need a bit of Logitech software to do it.
The Unifying Receiver Program software is available for:
Windows (practically all versions going back to XP, maybe earlier)
Mac OS X
ChromeOS
But not for Linux. What the fscking hell!!!!
Feel free to post to Logitech asking them to support Linux properly. Noting that they expect you to sign up an account with them, so that you can use their contact form.

Thanks for the Solaar link. As usual, the good guys (developers in the Linux community) reverse engineer the proprietary hardware so that Linux end users can still use the tech, *despite* lack of support from the hardware manufacturers.

"I run Linux. I am rather fond of your products and would truly appreciate it if Logitech would open up support for their products to Linux. Sure, there are alternatives. There are other companies that support the Linux market share. However, I have been using Logitech since the days of purchasing separate sound cards for our 2x86 machines. I notice your Bridge adapter for the Vive Tracker. Very well done. Vive, developed by Valve, is pushing over to Linux soon as discussed by Keith Packard at LinuxConfAU 2 weeks ago. So, my question to Logitech Support is this: When I start dumping money into buying all new peripherals to enhance my Vive experience will Logitech receive my revenue, or will one of your competitors?"
There are several posts on the support forum by users expressing a desire for Linux support. Perhaps when enough voices express their interest the company will add Linux support. Perhaps not. But it doesn't hurt to try, yes?

I had to define my F710 controller on friend's Win10 PC as "Xbox 360 controller" in order to be recognized correctly, whereas on Linux it works out of the box...
Also as far as I know Chrome OS has smaller marketshare than Linux does, so this might as well be purely them hating Linux, not the marketshare concern...

It may also just be a case of Google creating the drivers on their own or paying logitech to make them for Chrome.

Solaar rules. Though to be fair, I switched to Roccat a while back and mostly just buy their stuff that is compatible with Linux. Too bad the guy that supported it for so long decided to stop.

Well, we can't say the response was different than expected. I still would encourage others to raise their voices and express their opinions. Enough feedback can have an effect.
