The Linux 6.19 kernel coming out in early 2026 will add full support for the Logitech G13 gaming keypad, a device first launched back in 2009. Some functionality has worked in Linux over the past 17 years while full support is only coming to this next version of the Linux kernel.
As covered back in August, a Logitech G13 Linux support patch was posted for the G13 with its 25 programmable keys, mini joystick, and other functionality. There had been out-of-tree support for the Logitech G13 via the open-source community but now this patch is working its way to rhe mainline Linux kernel.
I miss the keyboard screen series of Logitech stuff, I held onto my G510 a lot longer than I probably should have and only really retired it for something much nicer to type on around 2020.
If Logitech had released something like their G915 but with the screen, I’d have got it in a heartbeat. Even though game support had long dwindled, it was still good for media player feedback, system stats and IIRC there was a third party way of getting notifications from some sites to show up.
I guess smartphones kinda do most of that better these days… Well excluding the system stats, but that was always the fallback if nothing else was worth showing
