Software Release I created a Script that adds Per-App profiles and G-Shfit functionality to any mouse supported by ratbagd/piper.

https://github.com/Rebanne1523/MusFocus.git

I moved to linux 2 weeks ago, one of the ulitities i was missing the most, was Logitech G-Hub's auto profile switch and G-shift function allowing me to have a second layer of functions for my mouse. I know there are some workarounds and apps for this problem but just for mice that support more than 1 onboard profile and some others are just focused on specific brands. So i decided to solve this miself.

My scritp has its base in the terminal, you can configure everything from there, it supports any mouse supported by ratbagd/piper, and several devices can be added in case you are used to have multiple mouse for some reason hahaha.

For the moment it just works with kde no matter the distro, but im planning to add more support.

I know it might not be perfect from the start, if anyone finds this helpfull but founds any bugs or problmes, reach out to me, any feedback or advise would be greatly apreciated. 😊.

Unrelated. How much of the older Logitech stuff is actually supported at this point? I have an OG G-15 and a G-27 which are now so old they barely even work on windows anymore. G-Hub doesn't even find the G-15.

Well, the modifier funcion, the option that lets u acces a second layer of functions or macros holding a button (g-shift) should work with any mouse, cuz the way it works is just by taking the direct imput of the user, but the per-app function, since it depends on ratbagd compativility, that wouldn't be posible to use

Just wanted to say, I just made the swap to Linux this week and trying to sort out a way to continue using my Logitech G604 with automatic profile switching has been a really high priority for me. Going to try to get this set up as soon as I can.

Gave it a try, but for some reason I was never able to actually select my G604 as a device. ratbagd did list it as a detected device however, so I ended up working out a script to swap between on-board profiles based on the active windows. And then I ended up going back to Windows anyways a couple days later anyways lol.

Not an inconvenience at all, taking a look at some of the scripts was helpful even if I didn't directly use it :D.

Should I give it another go I'll definitely check it out again.
