Does the Logitech G502 work on Linux?

Supported. 8 extra features available on Linux (Battery level, DPI, RGB / lighting, Polling rate…) via Solaar, libratbag + Piper, OpenRGB, Linux kernel.

Which distros work?

Distro	Kernel	Verdict

Fedora 44 Bazzite, Nobara	✅ 7.2	✅ All 8 features with repo packages
Fedora 43	✅ 7.2	✅ All 8 features with repo packages

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux Mint 22, elementary OS 8	✅ 6.8	✅ All 8 features with repo packages
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux Mint 21	5.15 (driver in 6.5; 6.8 available)	✅ All 8 features with repo packages
Debian 13	✅ 6.12	✅ All 8 features with repo packages
Debian 12	6.1 (driver in 6.5; 6.12 available)	✅ All 8 features with repo packages

Kernel versions are each release's default (and optional newer) kernel as of 2026-10-05. Distros sometimes backport drivers, so an older kernel can still work. Basic input and audio work through generic drivers regardless; this table is about the extra features.
