Adds several mouse and keyboard related functions for Logitech peripherals.
Logitech Options is a handy utility for Windows which controls and enables the features of wireless Logitech mice and keyboards.
As Logitech offers more than just standard two-button mice, you'd expect some customization of the functionality of these devices. That's where Logitech Options comes in where you can assign different actions to the buttons on your mouse. Logitech Options can modify the scroll wheel speed, enable smooth scrolling, adjust thumb wheel sensitivity and so on.
In terms of keyboard extras, Logitech Options can do a lot of different things like setup the actions of FN function buttons, enable special keys like volume control, change the keystroke assignment of keyboard FN buttons or even create and modify gestures.
One last thing worth mentioning is Logitech's opening up of its hardware with a developer mode; this developer mode unlocks a type of jailbreak for your Logitech mouse or keyboard by allowing unsigned third-party applications to take control. Pretty cool.
