Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) is a free app for Windows that lets you customise and manage various gaming peripherals from Logitech’s G devices.
It's aimed primarily at gamers, who are renowned for establishing distinct personalities in the gaming community. This extends to their equipment as well. LGS won't magically give your mouse RGB lighting, but its customisation options can improve the quality of gameplay. If you're looking for more software to personalise your gaming gear, try out Logitech G Hub and Logitech Options.
What does it do?
While you can use LGS to set up macros for your mouse or keyboard, its major strength is its ability to create default profiles for specific games. You can program default profiles for numerous games, including Destiny 2, Call of Duty and League of Legends.
Once you've saved your various game profiles, Logitech Gaming Software can automatically identify the game you're playing and switch to the relevant profile.
Will LGS slow my system?
Although LGS has to be kept running, it's light on resources, so you shouldn't experience any lag.
After all, the main point of the program is to enhance your gaming experience. Ultimately, Logitech's gaming software doesn't disappoint.
Is Logitech Gaming Software needed?
In the normal, day-to-day sense, no. However, if you want to customise the Logitech G gaming mice, keyboards and more, or improve your gaming performance, it's great to have. It’s particularly useful in fast-paced, high-intensity games where every second (or even nanosecond) can make the difference between victory and defeat.
Our take
The form factor of computer peripherals hasn't changed much over the decades—that's where software like LGS comes in. It's a lightweight piece of software that won't hog your computer's resources. The UI (user interface) is clean and intuitive. It may not be the flashiest app, but the high level of customisation it affords is what really matters.
If you're making use of Logitech gaming peripherals, grab this free and safe download to see how it can improve your gaming experience.
