Logitech went coocoo a while ago…
But since they’ve put motherfucking ads in their driver (I have never ever thought i would say such a bizarre thing) I’ve thrown away my lg-stuff and replaced it. After like 20yrs of brand-loyalty.
Ads…in…a…driver…which already sucked ass since the switch to lg-hub. Ugh.
For controller sure, but bear in mind if you’re looking at something like a wheel with force feedback, and pedals with pressure sensitive response, that changes more than just button presses
Edit: to be clear I’m not defending the shit in this article in question. Just that some of the stuff they do may actually need a driver. But not everything…

What does Logitech make that requires such a driver?
Tbf, they make things like sim racing equipment etc
That does not require a proprietary driver. Controller interfaces have been standardized for the last decade.

How do they manage that? Like where do the ads actually display?
They silently install Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update as soon as you plug a logitech device in.
Then you get a an ad to download their software as a popup message by the clock.
Since I saw it on a work machine pre pandemic, I have boycotted Logitech, I now mainly use Pulsar mice and Ducky Keyboards.
