Just open the page and then browser's developer tools, make it reporting us as Windows, and it just works after reloading.

Or better yet, just don't buy Logitech products and look for non hostile brands

One can use Solaar as an alternative. I did and it worked well.

Do you by any chance know how to configure Solaar so that the LEDs don't change to the default pattern every time I plug or unplug my mouse? It's the one annoyance I've run into.

I don't believe Solaar can change RGB settings, but OpenRGB seems to support quite a few Logitech mice.

Logitech is actually one of the most Linux-friendly brands out there.

This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem is more or less dead in current years due to non-chrome browsers declining to add support.

Logitech products have plenty of Linux-friendly tooling like Solaar and G810-led because Logitech tacitly makes it easy to reverse engineer and hack on their hardware.

You're missing part of the point that UA sniffing has always been flawed, and it's a terrible way to check for functionality. It's much better to test whether the function exists or does something than to try to rely on UA. It really isn't reasonable to rely on UA in the first place

Sure, 100% with you from a technical POV.

But Logitech is looking at it from a product management lens, and deciding they don’t want to support a heterogeneous mess of a web API for a niche user base that already has their own parallel tooling.

logiwebconnect.com is not some cherished keystone of their product suite either, afaict.
