Piper als Linux-Alternative zu Logitech G Hub

Aktualisiert am 26. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Piper can replace Logitech G Hub for users who own compatible Logitech gaming mice that are supported by ratbagd. It lets you set DPI, create profiles, map buttons, change RGB lighting, and export/import settings. It works on both X11 and Wayland and is free. However, it lacks macro recording, firmware updates, and support for non‑mouse devices, so it is best suited for gamers who only need basic mouse configuration and are comfortable using a Linux daemon.
