That is the reason why I never wanted to enable HID++ on all Logitech
mice, and this comes back to bite us at the worst time possible, right
before the merge window opens :(

Agree, but OTOH, Rafael, your mouse is not brand new AFAICT, so I am
worried that you won't be the only one complaining we just killed
their mouse.
So I think the even wiser solution would be to delay (and so revert in
6.1 or 6.2) the 2 patches that enable hid++ on all logitech mice
(8544c812e43ab7bdf40458411b83987b8cba924d and
532223c8ac57605a10e46dc0ab23dcf01c9acb43).

Cheers,
