Hey folks, throwing this out for ideas. I have - like many FOSS users from what I have researched - a Logitech G13 gaming keyboard. I love this thing - it’s awesome, however it doesn’t work in Linux.

There have been a few attempts in the past to make it work with a user-space driver, here and here. I can’t even get those to compile and run on a modern Fedora instance. That’s more a statement about me than anything else I think.

All said, I would like to set up a bounty to crowdfund the creation of a Kernel driver that can get submitted, as well as a GUI/CLI configuration app.

The thing is, I have no idea where to start except here! (The logitech community is empty) So, throw your ideas down, and shout-out if you’re a G13 owner too!

    I use a user space driver I found: https://github.com/ecraven/g13

    I don’t remember what I had to do to get it to compile, but I think it was mostly just figuring out the dependencies for Fedora. I use this on an up-to-date Fadora machine and it works great. There’s no GUI, but it’s easy enough to make profiles and load them via CLI.
