How to Set Up Logitech Gaming Software on Windows

Answer
Use Logitech Gaming Software only if the Downloads page for your exact Logitech device still offers LGS. Install the official Windows version, confirm your device appears on the LGS Home screen, then choose On-Board Memory for settings stored in the device or Automatic Game Detection for per-game profiles. Newer Logitech G devices that list G HUB instead should be configured in G HUB, not forced into LGS.
Find the model name on the bottom of the mouse, keyboard, headset, or wheel, then search for that exact model on Logitech Support and open its Downloads page. Continue with this guide only if Logitech offers Logitech Gaming Software for the device. If the page offers G HUB instead, install G HUB and use its device page; LGS will not gain support for a newer device by being reinstalled.
Open Logitech's LGS download page, choose the 64-bit Windows download, and run the downloaded installer. Finish the prompts and restart Windows if the installer requests it. Do not download LGS from a driver site: Logitech's page currently lists version 9.04.28 for Windows 10 and 11.
Connect the Logitech device or its supplied receiver directly to the PC, turn the device on, and open Logitech Gaming Software from the Start menu. The LGS Home screen should show a picture of that device and make its configuration icons available. If the Home screen says No devices detected, stop here and use the linked detection guide before creating profiles.
On the LGS Home screen, switch to On-Board Memory when you want the device to carry a small set of settings between computers. Choose Automatic Game Detection when you want Windows to load a different LGS profile for each game. The controls shown along the bottom of LGS change with this selection, so make the choice before editing buttons or DPI.

Set the mouse DPI and report rate
Select the mouse on the Home screen, then select the pointer icon. Add or remove DPI levels, click the level you want LGS to return to, and select Assign Default. Set the Report Rate only to a value the device offers. Move the mouse and press its DPI buttons to confirm that the pointer speed changes between the levels you kept.
6
Create a profile for one game
Select Automatic Game Detection, then open Customize Buttons for a mouse or Customize G-keys for a keyboard. In the Profiles pane, select Scan For New Games and check the game you want. If it is missing, open that profile's Properties, select the plus button, and choose the game's main .exe file. Start the game and confirm that its profile becomes active before assigning more commands.
7
Save and test one visible change
Assign one unused button or choose one lighting setting, then leave the configuration view and return to it. The assignment should still be shown. Test the button in its intended game or switch the light once; a visible response confirms that LGS, the selected device, and the active profile are working together.
If it does not work
If the device works in Windows but never appears on the LGS Home screen, confirm its exact model on Logitech Support. A G HUB-only device needs G HUB; the old LGS installer is not a compatibility fix.
If a game profile never activates, right-click it in the Profiles pane, open Properties, and confirm that the selected .exe is the process the game actually launches. A launcher .exe and the running game .exe are often different files.
Do not apply the old screenshots in the retained video to G HUB. LGS and G HUB use different home screens, profile controls, and update systems.

This is a legacy LGS guide for devices whose Logitech Downloads page still offers LGS. It is not a G HUB setup guide.
