logitech g hub not working on macOS Sequioa

I recently bought a logitech mouse - the g502 hero. I need logitech g hub to be able to change button mappings and customizability. When I plug in the mouse and open the logitech g hub software it says my mouse is inactive although it is connected and working in other software. I am using a macbook air M2 on macOS Sequoia 15.1. Please help me in any way possible. Thanks!

MacBook Air, macOS 15.1

G hub works on my device now. here's how i did it (don't get intimidated by how long this is, it's just really long to make it easy to follow, not that many steps):

  • if you're using something that tampers with the buttons (karabiner elements, skhd, steermouse, blablabla) make sure that you disable it for the logitech mouse that you are using (some software like karabiner elements may show your mouse as both a keyboard and mouse, in which disable both)



  • delete all files that have anything with "'logi","logi tech",""G hub" basically anything relevant to logitech ghub at (you can navigate to these folders with the search bar that appears on cmd+shift+g.also make sure that the files you are deleting are NOT from any other application as it can reset your settings/break things on other apps.):
    • ~/Library/Application Support
    • ~/Library/Preferences (deleting prefs files in icon only view in finder might not actually show it being deleted, so go to icon + text -> as collums. also once you delete the old files if new files appear don't worry, that is totally normal and just ghub fully resetting to default settings.)


  • incase if that doesn't work, also delete (using cmd+shift+g as well. although these folders don't really affect anything it's just to be sure, you don't have to be too careful that these files are from logi ghub as they won't break anything, but still i would avoid deleting anything that isn't ghub in these folders):

~/Library/Caches

~/Library/Logs


  • allow logi ghubb input monitoring in privacy and security


boom you're done.

Hi Partker


Happy new year

Seems you found the golden key. I have a question please, before messing up my system:


delete all files that have anything with "'logi","logi tech",""G hub" basically anything relevant to logitech ghub at (you can navigate to these folders with the search bar that appears on cmd+shift+g.also make sure that the files you are deleting are NOT from any other application as it can reset your settings/break things on other apps.):
• ~/Library/Application Support
• ~/Library/Preferences (deleting prefs files in icon only view in finder might not actually show it being deleted, so go to icon + text -> as collums. also once you delete the old files if new files appear don't worry, that is totally normal and just ghub fully resetting to default settings.)


do you mean

- search all files on the hard drive containing logi / logi tech / G hub... AND belonging to ~/Library/Application Support or ~/Library/Preferences

OR

- search all files on the hard drive containing logi / logi tech / G hub... AND NOT belonging to ~/Library/Application Support or ~/Library/Preferences


?


thank you for your help


Best
