Solaar will detect all devices paired with your receiver, and at the very least display some basic information about them.
At this moment, all Unifying Receiver are supported (devices with
USB ID 046d:c52b or 046d:c532), but only some newer Nano Receiver (devices
with USB ID 046d:c52f and 046d:c52b). You can check your connected Logitech
devices by running lsusb -d 046d: in a console.
For some devices, extra settings (usually not available through the standard Linux system configuration) are supported:
-
The K750 Solar Keyboard is also queried for its solar charge status. Pressing the
Light-Checkbutton on the keyboard will pop-up the application window and display the current lighting value (Lux) as reported by the keyboard, similar to Logitech's Solar.app for Windows. -
The state of the
FNkey can be toggled on some keyboards (K360, MK700, K750, K800 and K830). It changes the way the function keys (F1..F12) work, i.e. whether holdingFNwhile pressing the function keys will generate the standardFxkeycodes or the special function (yellow icons) keycodes. -
The DPI can be changed on the Performance MX Mouse.
-
Smooth scrolling (higher sensitivity on vertical scrolling with the wheel) can be toggled on the M705 Marathon Mouse, M510 Wireless Mouse, M325 and G700s.
These tables list all known Logitech Unifying devices, and to what degree their features are supported by Solaar. If your device is not listed here at all, it is very unlikely Solaar would be able to support it.
The information in these tables is incomplete, based on what devices myself and other users have been able to test Solaar with. If your device works with Solaar, but its supported features are not specified here, I would love to hear about it.
The HID++ column specifies the device's HID++ version.
The Battery column specifies if Solaar is able to read the device's battery level.
For mice, the DPI column specifies if the mouse's sensitivity is fixed (-),
can only be read (R), or can be read and changed by Solaar (R/W).
The reprog(rammable) keys feature is currently not fully supported by Solaar. You are able to read this feature using solaar-cli, but it is not possible to assign different keys.
