That's it.

I use the 8BitDuo NES keyboard. It's great, albeit not for everyone.
I have boycotted Logitech since they started pushing Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update, as soon as you plug a Logitech device into your Windows computer you get the program Logitech Downlod Assitant that you can't uninstall or easily stop running.
So I got myself a Xtrfy M4 and later the Xtrfy M4 Wireless, they require zero program to configure it, it's brilliant!
Last week I got myself a Pulsar Xlite V3, it needs a program to configure it, but it is manually installed, require no internet connection and saves the config to the mouse.
As for keyboards, I am a huge fan of Ducky keyboards, they just work for me.
For my audio, I use a Röde Videomic Go II, no software needed, but Röde central is used to configure it, it acts as a soundcard that I connect my Philips X2HR Fidelio headphones to.
It works brilliantly!
I still have a small fleet of M570 trackballs in service, I keep having to swap out the switches but what else is my soldering iron doing, amirite? My keyboard is from Cooler Master, a Masterkeys Pro M White LEDs, and they never made bloatware for it. The lights are configurable from the keyboard itself. That's the kind of thing I look for.
I bought a logitech G502 mouse on a whim because my Razer Naga died (still pissed about it) and I needed a replacement. I hate it. I hate the software you have to use to get the fucking buttons to work, and I wish another company made a mouse like the Razer Naga. (I'm not buying another fucking razer product if I can help it, wasn't the first razer product to just stop working on me)
I wish Logitech didn't discontinue the g600 (12 side button MMO mouse), I've got like 4 of them but they're getting kinda janky and a little too software dependant.

Logitech devices do not need such drivers under Linux...
Really?
My Logitech mice won't work, at all under Linux unless I go find a third party software to make them work.
While under Windows they just work, even without the Logitech config software.
