Keyd como alternativa Linux a Logitech G Hub
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Keyd can replace Logitech G Hub for users who only need basic key remapping and simple layer support on Linux. It is suitable for gamers or power users who want low‑overhead configuration and are comfortable editing plain text files. However, it does not provide the full feature set of G Hub, such as advanced DPI profiles, macro recording, or RGB lighting control, so it is not a drop‑in replacement for users who rely on those features.

Cómo instalar Keyd en Linux
sudo apt install keydsudo pacman -S keydsudo zypper install keydPreguntas frecuentes
Can Keyd handle DPI settings for a Logitech mouse?
No. Keyd only remaps keys; DPI control must be handled by the mouse’s own firmware or another tool such as Solaar.
Does Keyd support RGB lighting on Logitech devices?
No. Keyd does not provide RGB control; you would need a separate program like Solaar or Logitech's own Linux utilities.
Is Keyd compatible with Wayland?
Yes. Keyd works with both X11 and Wayland sessions, but you may need to ensure the relevant input drivers are loaded.
