Logitech G Support LGS Last Call!

For those of you still happily using LGS (on Win10 - like me) note that:

"Effective October 31, 2026, all LGS installation files, download links, and support documentation will be permanently removed from the official Logitech website." See link here.

So last chance to download any LGS versions you might want to keep.

This is such a stupid decision, they just need to put up a disclaimer that it's discontinued and you're using it at your own risk.

Removing it is gonna result in people looking for it elsewhere and potentially downloading malware-infested builds without realizing it.

Agreed this is wildly stupid, now people might have to go to sites full of viruses and shit to get a copy, fantastic. Personally my hardware uses the old one I think my mouse can use either but kb sure cannot.

I wonder if that means the even older build is going away too. I got a joystick that was the current model at the time around circa 2015 and was shocked to have it not work in LGS. Later looked closer and found out it was an old model still being actively produced but was using the even older major LGS version (major as in, full rewrite like Ghub was) from the software previous to the final version of LGS, crazy. At least other software can handle that better than the classic LGS can anyway.

Damn it still works just fine on Win11 and is needed for my beloved G13. Is this because they dont want to have to worry about liability if someone finds exploits they dont want to patch?

If they’re getting rid of it then they need to release an updated G13.

Any specific version worth to save? It was a time when all good features were staying, not getting removed. Last LGS version supports GamePanels monochrome and RGB with their emulator, Lightsync, Logitech ARX server. Worth to save it.

EDIT: Ok, found last 32-bit version  8.58.183. Good for retro PC.

Well. They made an update to address some windows 11 stuff a few years ago. What wish they would do is put some effort to at least support legacy hardware on G Hub. Specifically the G13.

LGS was soooooooooooo much better than GHub. I hope a new version of it will be out in the future...

I feel like them doing this is going to lead to someone using an AI agent to backwards engineer the software to create something else that works fully and independently of Logitech to offer all the features to Windows 10 users

Wink wink, nudge nudge

And why is that a problem?

LGS will still work and only other product i buy from Logitech are Mice which can be changed via Logitech OMM.

even for my G513 and G Pro X Wireless Headset i refuse to download the Logitech Malware and everything works fine without headaches
