I hate to break it to you, but Logitech now runs always-on ‘Cloud Settings’ sync and telemetry software called Logi Options. It comes with a way to use a mouse across devices seamlessly (Flow) which requires low-level networking permissions and a daemon on all participating devices.
It’s not required that you have an account or even use the software, but of course they actively push all of the above and require it to use special device features.
Razer, Steelseries, and the rest do the same, and I think Razer’s account is mandatory.
I don’t like it one bit. Thankfully most of that crap doesn’t work on Linux.
