I currently play an artificer armorer with the lightning launcher - as far as I know there is no easy way to change the damage type of the launcher (other than talking to your DM).
As for getting more damage out of it: You can take Feats like Fey Touched(for Hunters Mark) or Shadow Touched (for Hex) that let you add another dice. Other ways involve multiclassing (for example into Rogue) or the good old Sharpshooter feat.
I myself went the multiclassing route into rogue and got Fey Touched for Hunters Mark - it works pretty well as of now.
What rogue subclass would you suggest? Arcane trickster is the obvious choice. And Assassin... Sure you have one round with a damage boost, but that's it. Maybe Inquisitive?
Also, thanks for the heads up on fey touched. I'll keep that in mind next time I get a feat.
Subclass choice was hard for me, too. Since You'll probably not going too far into Rogue the lvl 3 feature will most likely be the only subclass feature you'll have to look at.
Depending on the characters flavor I think most Rogue Subclasses would fit (probably not Soul Knife and Swashbuckler since they don't really work with the Thunder gauntlets). I went with Arcane tricster, but I was tempted by Thief and Assassin, too.
Is there a way to change the damage type a lightning launcher does?
Also looking for suggestions on how to maximize lightning launchers damage. I currently already have 20 in intelligence and a +1 All-In-One tool.

Perhaps not infuse it so it isn’t magical, then use elemental weapon on the launcher at level 9 .
