From https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar:
Many gaming mice have both the ONBOARD PROFILES feature and the REPORT RATE feature. On these mice changing the Polling Rate setting requires modifying a setting in the ONBOARD PROFILES feature, which can modify how the mouse works. Changing the Polling Rate setting to "Ignore this setting" (see above) prevents Solaar from modifying the ONBOARD PROFILES feature. The mouse has to be reset (e.g., by turning it off and on again) before this fix will take effect.
I expect this is what you are experiencing.
The Has 2 paired device(s) out of a maximum of 1.
message should be addressed somehow. Do you actually have two paired devices on this receiver? Please post the output of solaar probe
.
Hey @pfps,
I did try different values for the Polling Rate setting, but no change in mouse behavior (I restarted the mouse after changing the value every time).
I do believe the powerplay mat is registering as a device itself, although it's a receiver. It has options to change LED color, etc. I have only one mouse connected to it. I will provide the output later today.
You won't see much, if any, difference when changing the polling rate unless you are doing something that requires very fast responses to mouse clicks (i.e., gaming). Also, restarting the mouse may reset the polling rate to its default value.
The issue that you are running into is that Solaar has to effectively turn off onboard profiles to change the polling rate and Solaar does this whenever it starts up and when the mouse reconnects unless the polling rate setting is set to ignore. The ability to change the polling rate was added in Solaar 1.0.5.
Hey @pfps,
the mouse shortcuts started working now for some reason. In any case, here is the output of solaar probe
So all is well?
The output of solaar probe
indicates that Solaar has an incorrect assumption about one of the registers on Lightspeed receivers. I'll see about fixing that.
Yes, all seems well. Thanks for all the help!

:Describe the bug Hey, I recently updated from Solaar 1.0.4 to 1.0.7 and the onboard macros of my G502 Lightspeed stopped working. I had some shortcuts set to ease my browsing, and now they're gone. Also I can not change the DPI using the dedicated buttons. I also have the PowerPlay mat, if it makes any difference /it says
Has 2 paired device(s) out of a maximum of 1.
in the log/. As far as I got to read, Solaar got a rewrite and onboard profiles are currently WIP.Is there any workaround apart from downgrading to 1.0.4? Is there anything I can configure on my part?
