    I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

    Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

    Turbo… It’s that damn “turbo” again but now AI

    In the eighties “turbo” was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label “turbo” on it. Now it will be “AI” all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it’s gonna be wild…

      Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

      Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

        note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz

    Hey consumers! Would you like a customizable function button that’s actually not customizable? Can we get VC money in the chat?!1/?!?

    It’s probably just a normal button that is hardcoded to run a specific AI software that is installed on your system (as it is indicated by “Launches AI Prompt Builder”). Just a guess. There is no need for a dedicated button, as any extra button could be configured to do the same.

    Only people with an artificial brain will fall for this.

      You can already use with with any Logitech mouse in the Options+ Software.

      It is what it says: it builds a prompt for you (with the text you marked) and can submit it to ChatGPT using a WebView. You have to actually login to ChatGPT, so it is no Logitech thing specifically.
