Thankfully most of the better mice keep their settings (including macros) in hardware. So you can save all the profiles, settings, macros, button customization, etc, to the mouse, and then take that mouse to any computer and it'll work fine.

Which mice do? Is there a list somewhere? I just got a Steelseries mouse and the programmability only works if the driver is running in the background. I might as well just use Autohotkey. My previous A4Tech mouse was actually programmable.

My last Razer mouse did, as do both my Logitech mice.

Thanks. Can the macros have loops and conditionals? E.g. keep sending left clicks every 0.01 seconds until I press the left mouse key.

I have a Logitech g305 and it definitely doesn't run at the full polling rate without the stupid G Hub software running. It's noticeably smoother once I launch G Hub. Does anyone know if 1000hz polling doesn't work with the standard HID drivers on Windows or something?

My experience was that the dpi and everything else would reset itself after reboots and I'd have to launch the software for everything to work again, even if I set on-board memory on. Super annoying and may be the same thing causing your problem.

I believe the g305 works with the old logitech software, which is much better than ghub. You should give that a try and see if it solves your issues with having to launch ghub just to get your mouse to work properly. Here is a link: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-ca/articles/360025298053

The g305 does work with the previous software, but my Logitech steering wheel does not :( So I'm stuck with the new and terrible G Hub. Hopefully I can ditch the Logitech ecosystem whenever I get around to upgrading to a Fanatec wheel.
