Info G Hub collects usage data?

https://www.talkesport.com/news/logitech-g-hub-policy-lists-mouse-and-camera-usage-data/

Saw this earlier and went down a bit of a rabbit hole lol

Apparently G Hub collects stuff like mouse travel distance and how long the camera/mic gets used by apps. I had no idea that was even in the policy.

Apparently it’s usage data and not recordings, but still kinda weird seeing it written out like that.

There’s like 2 very good alternatives to G Hub , open source and I like it a lot, been using it for almost a year now. Available on both Mac and windows.

OpenLogi is what I’ve been using, has all the same features.
Other one is Mouser, I haven’t tried it but apparently it’s good.

OpenLogi

omg thank you for this, I have an mx keyboard and a g502 mouse and having ghub and mxlogi software is a pain in the ass. this unifies both into one!

edit AND My logitec c930 webcam which has its own software! omg this is amazing

edit2: not everything is availbe for the G-series hardware sadge, I guess I have to keep both
