"Turn off FileVault 2 for our mouse driver to work." - Logitech

Oh yea, you read that right:

Worth posting here for awareness, in case you're asked to package/deploy.

that makes sense, my understanding is that FV is a pre-boot area of the device and not the actual OS (which is why AD passwords can get out of sync with it). The FV preboot wouldn't load 3rd party apps/drivers and potentially bluetooth stuff as well.

I just got this notification from the Logi Options app...common Logitech!!! 😡

Thanks for posting that. We've been slow to move to full disk encryption so this is good to know as we move forward.

Well I just stopped buying their product then.

I got a response from Logitech, they revamped their article to stop telling customers to disable FileVault 2. #yay

Logitech provides a USB-A receiver, which is useless when your MacBook Pro only has USB-C ports.

MacObserver wrote about this too:

Please Don’t Disable FileVault Encryption Like Logitech Wants

Looks like reddit has a thread on this as well.

Logitech is recommending users disable FileVault so that their bluetooth accessories work

I updated my blog post, not sure how I picked up a couple thousand followers in past weeks, must be the Jeep stuff. :)
