The software MX5000 utilizes the mx5000-tools for communicating with the LCD of MX5000 keyboard.
To get started with the MX5000 software, first install mx5000-tools. Once installed, you can use the main program named mx5000-tools to communicate with the keyboard. You can also use the mx5000 program to check your email IMAP or POP account and display the number of new mail(s), as well as the author and subject of the last mail you received.
However, be aware that while updating the keyboard's LCD, your mouse may not work correctly, which may be an issue if you had plans to use the LCD to display the song that is currently playing under your favorite music player.
Once you have installed the software, it's a good idea to set permissions for your keyboard by adding a file named logitech.rules to your udev rules.d directory (/etc/udev/rules.d on my computer). This allows you to copy the following code: #Logitech mx5000 keyboard KERNEL=="hiddev?", OWNER="your_username". If you have multiple users on your computer and would like all of them to access the keyboard, you can refer to the udev manual for further instructions.
Overall, the MX5000 software is an excellent option for anyone looking to take advantage of the Logitech MX5000 Keyboard's LCD screen. All you need to do is run "python mx5000.py" and start enjoying the benefits of this powerful software.
