Hey gang, new to the steam deck (coming from MAC world), I’m trying to “EXECUTE” open my new mouse logitech software on my deck. The deck is asking me to select a program I want to use to open/run this .exe file? Is there a recommended program application for this step? Thank you!

    Its likely that logitech software will be totally useless on the steam deck.

    SteamDecks run Linux, (SteamOS) and the various games are ran using Proton, which is a variant of Wine.

    You can install a program such as BOTTLES, which will let you easily run specific windows executable in .wine with a nice GUI. https://flathub.org/apps/com.usebottles.bottles

    There are numerous other methods as well. On a more Normal Linux Distro, its possible to double click a .exe and have it loaded in wine, but the way the steamdeck OS is setup, makes it a bit harder to setup. So use ‘bottles’ is likely the best option.

    But from my experience with Logitech devices and software in the past, the various tools never run in wine.

    Give the URL to the exact tool/software and perhaps there are alternatives to be found.

    You talking about the G Hub software? https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/g-hub.html

      Hey! Yea that’s the link to the software. So for anyone trying to modify their gaming mouse on a steam deck is somewhat out of luck?! I’ll try your suggestions and thanks for the insight.
