Game Controllers
This family gathers older or off-brand wheels and joysticks that communicate over DirectInput, the flexible legacy interface for multi-axis devices. Windows can often use them through built-in support, but calibration is essential and any advanced features depend on whatever utility the device maker supplies. Expect to spend time in the Windows game controller properties setting axes and deadzones for these.

Legacy interface; obtain any driver or utility from the device maker.

The Brio is Logitech's higher-end external webcam, and its companion software unlocks the features the sensor supports, such as field-of-view selection, HDR, and manual image controls. It clips to a monitor or sits on a desk and is aimed at meetings and streaming. The camera shows video on the standard driver alone, but the wider field of view and HDR only appear once the Logitech app is installed.

Enables field-of-view, HDR, and manual controls on Brio cameras.

The C920 and related C900-series cameras are among the most common clip-on webcams for desktops and monitors. Windows shows their picture immediately, while the Logitech software adds manual focus, exposure, and digital pan-tilt-zoom. These are dependable workhorse cameras, so the usual reason to install the software is to steady autofocus or lock exposure for a consistent look on calls.

These flight sticks target flight and space simulators with a twist rudder, throttle lever, and a cluster of buttons, and they speak DirectInput because of their many axes. Windows can use one with its built-in support, but calibrating the axes and assigning buttons is done in the Windows game controller properties and in G HUB. Recalibration is the usual cure when an axis drifts or sits off-center.

G HUB is the companion software for Logitech's G-series gaming keyboards, where it drives per-key RGB lighting, macros, and game-specific profiles. These boards are wired keyboards aimed at gaming desks and support onboard profile storage. Remember that G HUB and the older Logitech Gaming Software address overlapping hardware, so run only one to avoid conflicting lighting control.

Lighting, macros, and profiles for Logitech G series boards.

These are force feedback racing wheels with pedal sets, built for sim racing on the PC. Basic steering may register on its own, but the force feedback, rotation range, and pedal calibration that make the wheel usable come from Logitech's G HUB software, which also carries firmware. Because the wheel and pedals enumerate together, expect more than one device entry, and install G HUB before judging how the wheel feels.

Use Logitech G HUB for force feedback, calibration, and firmware.

Logitech's F-series pads are budget-friendly controllers that can operate in either XInput or DirectInput mode, usually chosen with a small switch on the pad. In XInput mode they behave like an Xbox-compatible controller on the inbox driver, while DirectInput suits older games that expect that interface. G HUB adds mapping and profiles, but the mode switch is what most often decides whether a game recognizes the pad.

Support XInput and DirectInput modes; configure in G HUB.

Options+ is Logitech's configuration app for its productivity and wireless keyboards, the kind that pair over a Unifying dongle or Bluetooth on a desk. It handles key remapping, custom shortcuts, and the Flow feature that moves a cursor between computers. The keyboard types without it, so install Options+ only when you want to reassign keys or manage a multi-device setup.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Configures keys, shortcuts, and Flow across Logitech keyboards.

The StreamCam is Logitech's webcam built for content creators, offering smart auto-framing and vertical-video framing through its companion app. It connects over USB-C and mounts on a monitor or tripod. Basic video works with no setup, but the framing and exposure tools that make it worth choosing over a plain webcam require the Logitech software to be installed and running.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Auto-framing and creator controls managed through Logitech software.

This covers Logitech's USB headsets, speakerphones, and speaker sets that connect over USB and present themselves as audio endpoints. The great majority are class-compliant, so Windows drives them without a download, and Logitech's companion software is optional polish rather than a requirement. Reach for that software only when you want an equalizer, sidetone, or lighting control on a specific model.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Many devices are class-compliant; companion software adds equalizer and lighting controls.

This software supports the small USB receivers, including the Unifying line, that pair Logitech keyboards, mice, and presenters wirelessly to a PC. The receiver itself is class-compliant, so devices work the moment it is plugged in; the software exists to pair additional peripherals to one receiver and to update its firmware. It is optional convenience rather than a requirement for basic use.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Software for USB receivers that pair Logitech peripherals; the receiver itself is class-compliant.

This entry covers the software for Logitech wireless keyboards, mice, and presenters that connect through a small USB receiver rather than the PC's network stack. Despite the wireless label, these devices do not touch Wi-Fi or Ethernet; the receiver is class-compliant and the software only pairs peripherals and updates firmware. It is included here to clear up the common confusion with actual network adapters.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Software for wireless input peripherals that use a USB receiver rather than the network stack.
Read the full family referenceBluetooth
Logitech mice, keyboards, and headsets connect either over standard Bluetooth or through a small USB receiver, and in both cases basic function relies on the PC's own Bluetooth or USB stack. Logitech's companion software sits on top to add button remapping, battery readouts, and firmware updates rather than replacing the connection driver. Choose the software line that matches your device generation when you want those extras.
Documented for: Windows 10, Windows 11
Companion software adds features to Bluetooth and receiver-based mice, keyboards, and headsets.
