Sudo timeouts can be changed:http://lifehacker.com/make-sudo-sessions-last-longer-in-linux-1221545774 http://lifehacker.com/make-sudo-sessions-last-longer-in-linu... Hardware support can be a genuine issue. The fault lies with Logictech in this case. If I was an arrogant Linux-head, I'd probably say that your time is better spent configuring i3/emacs/vim than getting their latest shiny toy working.

You can also edit the sudoers file to give your user passwordless sudo. So you still have to explicitly sudo for admin access (unlike, say, just logging in as the root user) but don't have to type your password. Granted, that's not n00b friendly or anything, but it is a pretty quick solution and you only have to do it once. Just make sure you have a real root login and/or use visudo to perform the edits to avoid accidentally locking yourself out of admin access if you screw up the syntax.
