Logitech software users seek alternatives to Logi Options+

Users of Logitech hardware, such as the MX Master 3S mouse and MX Keys S keyboard, are seeking alternatives to the official Logi Options+ companion software on macOS. While the Logitech hardware provides advanced features like gesture buttons and horizontal thumb wheels, these capabilities require the Logi Options+ app to function.

However, the official software has faced criticism for being resource-intensive, with reports of memory usage ranging between 400MB and 500MB. Users have expressed frustration on forums regarding the app’s bloat and instances where customizations break following updates. As an alternative, some users are turning to BetterMouse, a third-party application described as a lighter and more feature-rich customization tool.
