    So I bought a new mouse, of course it came with RGB nonsense. Before purchasing I checked it could be disabled.

    Software to control RGB? 300MB. Who knows what the hell else that’ll be doing.

    Plugged it into my Linux laptop, download OpenRGB, 1.7MB application that supports more than just this brand. Turn off the rgb, click save to device.

      Same energy - whole different thing. I remember in 2005 having to install a special printer software. You can install the drivers, but to understand error messages, you needed “the suite”.

      So furious at the ordeal, I hoped that the future, we don’t have to deal with this.

      Apparently the future hates us and we are STILL dealing with this
