Solaar is a Linux device manager for Logitech keyboards, mice, trackpads, and other peripherals connected via Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed, or Nano receivers, USB, or Bluetooth. It provides a GUI and CLI for pairing devices, adjusting settings, configuring buttons, and running rules in response to device messages.

Use cases

  • pair and unpair Logitech mice and keyboards with a Unifying receiver
  • check battery status of wireless Logitech devices
  • change scroll wheel direction or function key behavior on a Logitech keyboard
  • remap buttons on a Logitech mouse
  • run custom rules when device special messages are received
  • manage Logitech Bolt receiver devices on Linux

When to choose

  • you use Logitech peripherals on Linux and need receiver pairing or device settings
  • you want battery monitoring for wireless Logitech devices
  • you need button remapping or rule automation for Logitech hardware

When to avoid

  • you use peripherals from other manufacturers - Solaar only supports Logitech devices
  • you need a device driver to fix input handling issues - Solaar is not a driver
  • you are on Windows or macOS - Solaar is Linux-only
