I will hope and dream that this might someday lead to more mmo/12-button mice on the market, or at least the ability to customize them without relying on their proprietary software.
I’m holding out moving to Linux because of my G600 and G13. I believe G13 driver support is in the making.

are you changing settings frequently? if not, settings should be stored on the on board memory and it will continue working on linux
I keep games controls on default and set them up to my G600 mouse and G13 gameboard on Logitech control panel for games and other software. I have dozens of settings.

Have you tried OpenLogi? I’m not sure if it supports that model specifically, but it supports a lot.
OpenLogiOpenLogiA native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, written in Rust. Remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift over HID++ — no account, no telemetry.It does seem to support newer models, G600 and especially G13 are quite old and no longer supported even by newer Logitech software. Thanks for the tip anyways, I collect these for possible future needs.
