How to uninstall Logi Options+ from Mac

The recent Logitech certificate outage made a lot of people reinstall Logi Options+ just to get their mouse working again. Others took it as a sign to move to another mouse solution instead. Either way, you need to reinstall or uninstall Logi Options+ permanently.

Here you’ll find two reliable ways to completely uninstall Logi Options+ from your Mac – not just the main app, but all its background files, agents, and leftovers. As a bonus, you’ll find workarounds for certificate issues.

What is Logi Options+ and should I uninstall it from my Mac?

Logi Options+ is software that allows you to customize the functions of Logitech keyboards and mice. It provides the ability to assign special commands to buttons, create macros, change key functions, and even configure the behavior of some devices depending on the use of certain programs.

When it works, it’s great. When it breaks, it can turn your Mac into a paperweight with a cursor. Which is usually when you end up doing something about it – reinstalling the driver or removing it altogether. You also might be here because:

• Logitech’s developer certificate expired, causing the app and background services to stop working or fail to launch.
• The fixed version won’t download – it just spins forever, leaving users stuck with a broken setup.
• You switched to Better Mouse, SteerMouse, or another driver that does the same job with less drama.
• You replaced your Logitech gear (e.g., with Razer Viper) and no longer need Logitech’s software at all.
• Logi Options+ keeps running background agents, eating CPU or interfering with macOS input, even when you’re not using it.
• Logitech devices feel poorly integrated on macOS, which can be frustrating for users who expect premium performance for the price they pay.

Before you uninstall: here are quick fixes for the Logitech outage

If you’re not ready to delete Logi Options+ just yet, these workarounds, tested among Redditors, have helped many users survive the certificate disaster:

1. Downgrade to an older version
   Older builds still use a valid certificate and can bring your mouse back to life.
2. Use the firewall + date trick
   • Downgrade your Mac’s date at least to January 5, 2026
   • Block these with a firewall (FireWally works and it’s free):
     • Logitech G Hub
     • G Hub Updater
     • Logitech G Hub Agent
   • Restore the correct date & time
   This stops Logitech’s servers from killing the driver again.
3. Use Better Mouse or SteerMouse temporarily
   While waiting for a reliable version, it can replace most of Logi Options+ features and keep your mouse usable while Logitech sorts itself out.
