Weird issue sometimes when I launch a game my mouse(Logitech g502 X connected via Logitech Powerplay mouse pad) stops working. Until I reboot. I know it has something to do with the powerplay since the mouse has a wired mode as well and it works again when I plug it in. Anyone else experience this problem or know of steps I can take to troubleshoot? Edit: Forgot to mention I am using Garuda linux(I use arch btw)

I haven't had this issue in Linux with my g703 or g903 using my powerplay mousepad. I've had it for a few years at least, and used it on 3 different machines.

Have you tested it on another machine yet? Are you connected directly to it or through a hub?

No I don't have any other pc to try it on. Its plugged right into the pc, no hub. It never happened when I was using Pop os, it started after I switched to garuda.

Hah, well I'm also running pop_os so maybe that's why I've never experienced it. Maybe it's a kernel or firmware issue.
