It can recharge via ambient light, too.

    But it still acts as a separate non standard key, does it? So yo9u need the Logitech software to assign a key. Does the software need to run in the background or does the keyboard saves it in the hardware?

      Good point, I’ve used a Logitech mouse and I think that needs software (FOSS implementation available) for button remapping, could be different for a keyboard though

          Solaar is the one I use, it was a Lemmy recommendation and I think there’s at least one other implementation out there

      And, like, what do you do on Linux about that key? Is there a way to just make it act as an additional Super key, or do anything at all without Logitech’s program?

      Possibly, kinda depends how it’s implemented, does it need the software to trigger some AI software or not.

      Back when Microsoft got some copilot hotkeys put on laptops, they send the perfectly reasonable “LShift+Win+F23” key combination :)

        My favorite is the completely easy to remember and useful LShift + LCtrl + LAlt + LWin + Y combo.

          Huh, seems that quite a few LShift + LCtrl + LAlt + LWin + <key> have hardcoded links: Y opens Yammer, L for Linkedin, T for teams, O for outlook and so on. TIL.

        Ah that’s right. It might be the same key combination, as it defaults to Copilot.
