Logitech supercharges VSCode

They have been asking for it!

Please come for a demo in front of Lufthansa's booth!!

Inspiration

Logitech's new plugin mechanism allows powerful customization of buttons and controls on all their devices. As developers, we want to leverage that power inside the popular software that we all use: Visual Studio Code. Imagine combining the functionality of all existing VSCode extensions with Logitech's professional devices.

What it does

Our new VSCode extension allows customizing detailed behavior for all Logitech's special controls: mouse buttons and wheels, keyboard keys, deck controls etc. Each device control can be mapped to any existing functionality in VSCode or any extension in the ecosystem!

How we built it

We used the new Logi Plugin SDK with VSCode's Extension APIs. It works! We also worked on offering new Python bindings for the Logi Plugin SDK.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulties setting up the new LogiOptions+ on our Macs. We also encountered some limitations of the plugin Protocol, which we're happy to discuss with the Logitech team for future improvement.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our new VSCode extension and Logitech plugin makes Logitech devices truly shine for developers. We thinks this extension could be maintained by Logitech officially for everybody's benefit.
