After years of loyal service, Logitech Gaming is retiring its old driver software suite and replacing it with a new hub launching into beta today—called the Logitech G Hub—that doesn't look like a holdover of the Windows Vista era. The best thing about Logitech's new Hub software, other than the fact that it's fast, clear, and easy to use, is that it doesn't force you to create a profile and hand over your email just to use it. It's a pointed difference from Razer's Synapse and Nvidia's GeForce Experience, and I'm very happy I can download and use G Hub without having to remember another damn password or connect my Facebook account.

I'm ragging on Logitech's old gaming software with affection; it was never particularly pretty, but it was always reliable and simple, two traits I really care about in the software I use to customize the lighting, DPI, etc. of my mouse and keyboard. Other companies like Corsair and Roccat have released feature-packed driver utilities over the years that were often harder to use, though they too have gotten better. G Hub feels very much like a 2018 piece of software, with a resizable window (something, crazily enough, the old program didn't have), a flat aesthetic with lots of negative space and plain text instead of cluttered iconography.
