Logitech G HUB
Also called g hub, logitech g hub, lghub
Logitech's RGB, mouse, and profile host for G gaming hardware. The process is lghub.exe. It is not Logi Options+.
What you need to know
G HUB is for Logitech G hardware. Options+ is the MX app.
lghub.exe hosts lighting, dpi profiles, and macros for Logitech G mice, keyboards, and headsets. Logi Options+ is the separate app for MX and similar productivity devices.
- What is it?
- Profiles and RGB for Logitech G gear
- Same as Options+?
- No. Options+ is the MX and business app
- Needed for a G mouse?
- For onboard profiles and RGB, usually yes
What is Logitech G HUB?
Logitech G HUB is the Windows host for Logitech G gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, and lights. It stores profiles, RGB, and some onboard memory. It does not replace Logi Options+ for MX keyboards and mice.
If you have never used it
If the box said Logitech G, this is the app that owns dpi, RGB, and game profiles. Install it from logitechg.com. Logi Options+ is the other Logitech app, for MX and similar office gear. Running both is common on a mixed desk. They do not manage the same devices.
What is it used for?
dpi steps, assignments, and per-game profiles for G hardware. Options+ assignments will not appear here.
G LIGHTSYNC effects. OpenRGB can fight this host if both claim the same device.
Some G headsets expose EQ and mic features only in G HUB.
Who is it for?
- People with Logitech G mice, keyboards, or headsets
- Players who want onboard or per-game profiles
- Desks that also run Options+ for a separate MX device
Current status
Actively developed. Logitech still uses G HUB for the G line. LGS (Gaming Software) is the older host.
How old is it?
Logitech Gaming Software was the 2010s host. G HUB replaced it for current G devices starting in 2019. An LGS-only mouse may still need the old app. That is not Options+.
Versions
Major channels first. Exact build numbers are not all verified here.
System requirements
Values follow the publisher's public guidance. Workload still changes the real need.
Minimum
| Hardware | A supported Logitech G device. MX and Options-class devices belong in Options+ |
|---|---|
| Operating system | A current supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 release, per Logitech |
Resource profile
- CPU demand
- Low to moderate. RGB preview and the Electron-style UI add some RAM
- RAM demand
- Higher than a tiny tray utility. lghub_agent can stay resident
Installed processes
These executables belong to this product when it is installed.
| lghub.exe | Main window |
|---|---|
| lghub_agent.exe | Device agent that can stay in the tray |
| lghub_updater.exe | Updater |
Startup components
G HUB usually installs a startup agent so profiles load before a game. Turn that off in G HUB settings if you want a manual start.
File locations
| Typical install | C:\Program Files\LGHUB\ |
|---|
Common problems
Opened Options+ for a G mouse
Options+ will not own a G Pro or G502 the way G HUB does. Wrong Logitech app.
RGB or dpi reset after reboot
The agent did not start, or onboard memory was not written. Check G HUB startup and onboard memory mode.
Getting unstuck
Install from logitechg.com, not a "lghub setup" ad
The real client lives under Program Files\LGHUB. A G HUB exe on the Desktop from a forum is the wrong file.
Quit lghub_agent from the tray, then relaunch G HUB
The window can look fine while the agent has lost the device. That is a G HUB restart, not a Windows reinstall.
Do not use Options+ as the G-device fixer
If the device is a G product, stay in G HUB. Options+ is the MX sibling.
Alternatives
Logi Options+ covers MX and similar. Razer Synapse and iCUE are other vendor hosts. OpenRGB can light some G devices if you stop G HUB first.
