The upcoming Linux kernel version 6.19 will include support for the Logitech G13 keypad. This addition comes 17 years after the device's initial hardware debut.
Linux kernel developers have queued up support for the Logitech G13 keypad in the version 6.19 release. The G13, a programmable gaming keypad, first debuted in hardware 17 years ago, marking a long-awaited integration into the open-source operating system.
This development highlights ongoing efforts to expand Linux compatibility with peripheral devices. According to Phoronix, the patchset ensures proper recognition and functionality of the G13 under Linux 6.19, benefiting users who rely on the device for gaming or productivity setups.
While the exact timeline for the 6.19 release remains pending, this inclusion addresses a gap in support for older hardware in modern Linux distributions.
