LogiSwitch – One-Key Switching for Legacy Logitech Devices

Enable multi-device switching on old Logitech keyboards and mice without new hardware

Problem
Users with older Logitech devices like the first-gen MX Master must flip the mouse to press a bottom button when switching between two computers, and the keyboard switches separately. Logitech's Options+ multi-device switching only supports newer devices.
Solution
A small desktop utility that simulates shortcuts or calls Logitech driver APIs to let legacy devices switch mouse and keyboard to another computer with one key press. It supports custom hotkeys and switch presets across platforms.
Users
Logitech peripheral owners with multiple computers, remote workers, programmers
MVP
Support switch commands for common legacy Logitech mice/keyboards; global hotkey triggers simultaneous switching; simple UI to select device pairs; macOS and Windows support
Revenue
One-time purchase or donationware; subscription for advanced features like multi-presets and cross-platform sync
Why now
Logitech's new feature excludes older devices, yet many users still rely on classic models; indie developers can reverse-engineer or leverage existing driver APIs for a lightweight enhancement
