I’m presuming your device ID is the same as mine. You should check with lsusb

I’m on Ubuntu and did the following:

Locate the device file in /usr/share/libratbag
sudo nano /usr/share/libratbag/logitech-g102-g203.device
Copy/paste below in the file

# G102 and G203 (USB)
[Device]
Name=Logitech Gaming Mouse G102/G103
DeviceMatch=usb:046d:c084;usb:046d:c092
Driver=hidpp20
LedTypes=logo;side;

Save and exit (ctrl + x)
Restart piper

Thanks, I had the same problem and it worked for me too. I think it’s worth noting that, in order to get it working, I had to restart ratbagd too. So: sudo killall ratbagd sudo systemctl start ratbagd.service
