Getting the most out of your gaming accessories just got easier if you have a PC running a Snapdragon X chip. Logitech G HUB now works on Windows on Snapdragon, opening the door to customizing mice, keyboards, headsets, and webcams.
Logitech G HUB is a hub for Logitech's "G" ecosystem. It lets you control and customize devices, such as setting the DPI of a mouse, setting up macros for a keyboard, remapping buttons, or controlling RGB lighting. You can also use Logitech G HUB to manage games from multiple libraries.
The app did not work on Windows on Snapdragon until recently. The change was highlighted in the r/snapdragon subreddit by Qualcomm's Senior Product Marketing Manager for Snapdragon X Series.
They explained "Gaming just got smoother on Snapdragon" in a comment in that thread.
The following devices are validated to work with Logitech G HUB and Windows on Snapdragon:
- Logitech G603 LIGHTSPEED Mouse
- Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED Mouse
- Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury M-U0041 Mouse
- Logitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Headset
- Logitech G231 PRODIGY Headset
That list isn't exhaustive, so you'll likely be able to control other gaming devices with the app and your Windows on Snapdragon PC.
While not marketed with a gaming focus, Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 chips are better at running games than the previous generation.
Snapdragon X PCs also got a gaming boost in the form of Easy Anti-Cheat. Many games that do not work on Snapdragon X PCs are restricted due to anti-cheat measures. Support for Easy Anti-Cheat allows Fortnite and other popular titles to run on those systems.
I wouldn't claim that Snapdragon X PCs are now gaming PCs, but they are capable of running some games. ShortCircuit has an interesting video showcasing popular titles on the ASUS Zenbook A16, which runs on a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme.
Of course, you don't need to be playing a demanding game to enjoy synced RGB lighting or the ability to control your Logitech G accessories.
You can download Logitech G HUB through the company's website. Note that since the software runs through emulation, there is no separate Windows on Snapdragon version. You can just click "DOWNLOAD G HUB - Windows" to get the app.
Shoutout to r/snapdragon
We're big fans of Reddit here at Windows Central, and we're active in r/snapdragon and other communities.
That subreddit is full of passionate people who use and work on Snapdragon chips. Last year, Kedar Kondap, Qualcomm SVP & GM of Compute and Gaming, held an AMA (ask me anything) on r/snapdragon. That thread focused on the Snapdragon X Series and the Snapdragon X2 line of chips.
Members of that community also highlight apps that work well on Snapdragon X chips either natively or through emulation.
It's also quite normal to see Qualcomm employees in that subreddit seeking feedback or asking about which apps need to be optimized for Windows on Snapdragon.
The post about Logitech G HUB working on Windows on Snapdragon was shared by the Senior Product Marketing Manager for Snapdragon X Series at Qualcomm.
