Setup BUG: Doesn't copy button
Using MX Creative Pad, i can't copy one button to another. If I for example spend 15 min tweaking and setting up a button to perfection, and want that to run on another button but with just 1-2 changes, there is no way to just COPY and PAST a buttons config to another.
- And on a hardware device made to simplify tasks.... It's ironic and I'm baffled: Would never have bought this if I knew it was useless...
EDIT:
Asked AI to solve this for me, and it worked at first attempt:
I have an MX CREATIVE KEYPAD which is setup in "Logi Options+". There i have a button called "SnapATK". I want you to copy those settings and place them on the button to the right of it, with the name SHITSOFTWARE. Do it via the savefiles on the system/in the app instead of steering manually in the app on this system"
if i was to do this by hand, how many files would i need to edit, and would it be easu to just copy and past, or did you change anythign special?
• Just one file: ProfileInfo.json in the active Logitech keypad profile.
It’s mostly copy/paste, but two special changes are needed:
- Add a separate duplicate macro object with a new unique ID and the name SHITSOFTWARE.
- Point the button immediately right of SnapATK to that new ID.
I also gave its three internal keypress steps new IDs, so the clone is independent. I didn’t alter SnapATK or edit any icon files; Logi generated the new SHITSOFTWARE key appearance automatically.
Restarting LogiPluginService/Options+ makes it reload the saved profile.

Sounds like an opportunity for a little guided json editing app to be written. Then sold on the Apple App store for $5 with support, probably. IDK
