Dynamic Lighting Tips

I got a nice new Logitech mouse that is supposedly compatible with Windows' dynamic lighting. Plugged it in and the default flashing rainbow became quickly intolerable. So I go to Personalization, enable dynamic lighting for the device (Windows recognized it) and configured the lighting I wanted. Just a nice steady low-intensity heart calming blue.

Everything was great, I even re-started to make sure it was good and it was. It was the same flashing bright rainbow hues until I log in and set my profile, I guess, and that I could live with. But maybe 10 minutes in it decides to flake out... at first reverting to the flashing rainbow. So I try to restart the Dynamic Lighting settings and reboot, now it just turns off goes black after 10-15 minutes. I won't come back on until another re-boot AND toggling dynamic lighting off/on, and again another 10-15 minutes.

What's wrong with this thing? Is it because I put this mouse into an existing Windows that had two or three mouse, a joystick and a gaming controller -- in other words several other different HID devices -- and Dynamic Lighting is getting confused? Is there anything I can do to unconfuse it? BTW, it works perfectly on my other system which is a recent fresh install on much older hardware. I don't want to fresh install this one, too much hassle. I want to fix it if I can.

Thanks for help.

Ok... well I guess nobody else likes Dynamic Lighting enough to use it and offer advice. Or it always works perfect for them, which is doubtful considering.

At any rate, I solved my problem by installing Logitech's LED control stack instead: Ghub. It's incredibly unintuitive, but I was able to (after a lot of frustration) set up the lighting to my preferred profile and have it stay that way, stable and solid through restarts.

So much for another "Feature" of Win11.

My guess is not many people use their mice with dynamic lighting. PC's and Keyboards yes, mice not so much. I'm a fan of the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse myself and waiting for the 4 to release. Anyhow, glad you got it figured out.
