Logitech G-Hub: How does it work?

Device software is available in the dozens these days, and for good reason. While device customization is reaching new heights, the standard Windows mouse options simply can't keep up.

Mouse manufacturers have therefore developed a range of proprietary solutions to customize their products. Logitech G-Hub is the way to go if you want to get the most out of your Logitech devices.

What is Logitech G Hub?

Logitech G Hubs is relatively similar to Logitech Gaming Software in that it's a customization tool and standalone portal for Logitech peripherals. However, G Hubs is a complete overhaul designed to offer more versatile profile creation options.

Features and benefits of using Logitech G Hub software

Overall, G Hub is a much more elegant and intuitive version of LGS, with many identical features (profile creation, macros/commands/keys, RGB lighting control and synchronization, DPI sensitivity, automatic game detection, etc.). Moreover, it is the only program that works with the 2019 range of Logitech devices.

New features include the ability to download and share custom game profiles with the Logitech community, integration with OBS, third-party streaming applications and Discord (i.e., assigning buttons with tangible actions in the software), and the ability to create and save multiple identical game profiles and switch between them seamlessly.

Once you find a profile you like, click on it and then click "Download." Once downloaded, G Hub will automatically add it to your list of profiles. Note that you will need to create a Logitech account to download profiles.

Troubleshooting – Logitech G Hub

Logitech support

The Logitech G-Hub center won't open, what should I do?

First, try restarting your PC and launching G Hub again. If that doesn't work, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall G Hub. Make sure you download the latest version if you haven't already.

If you also have LGS installed, uninstall both programs and reinstall Google Hub first. If possible, avoid reinstalling LGS, as both programs use a similar API that could conflict and cause a bug in Google Hub when it's opened.

Logitech G Hub does not recognize/detect a device (mouse, keyboard, headset), what should I do?

Here are some possible corrections:

  • Check that the device is compatible with G Hub, as only a few older devices and those prior to 2019 are.
  • Check that the USB cable is properly connected.
  • Download and install the latest version of G Hub from the Logitech website.
