Linux 7.3 will add kernel-level support for Logitech HID++ 2.0 reprogrammable buttons on compatible devices.
Engineers who rely on Logitech peripherals can now remap buttons directly in the Linux kernel without third-party tools. This reduces setup friction for power users and embedded deployments where custom input behavior is required. The change is narrow but removes a long-standing gap for Logitech hardware integration.

Kernel 7.3 will expose HID++ 2.0 reprogrammable buttons to userspace via standard input APIs.
Only Logitech devices with HID++ 2.0 firmware are affected; older or non-Logitech hardware remains unchanged.
This eliminates the need for external daemons or vendor-specific utilities to handle button remapping.
