Keyboard and Keyboard + Mice Combos with Mac (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

[kenn]

I know it's probably a bit early to ask this, but has anyone gotten the K350 wireless keyboard (basically the Wave keyboard with the new unified receiver) and got it working on a Mac?  They don't mention Mac compatibility, and I'm sure the basic keyboard functions would be there, but I'm really considering getting that and a new mouse, but I don't want to spend the $60 to find out LCC won't support it.  It'll be like getting the wired Wave keyboard all over again!  And that stated on the the box it was mac compatible, only to have to wait a month for LCC to actually see it.

I guess the big test will be when they get the new LCC out for SL.

I have the K350 running on a Mac (OS 10.5.8). The receiver works and you can find the keyboard using the unifying software control panel, but you can't program any of the keys using Logitech software. I'm hoping they get this addressed soon...

I truly feel disappointed that the Keyboard isnt configurable in OS-X. I even find it misleading, because the keyboard has the Apple command and options keys which give me the idea that OS-X is fully supported.

I'm thinking about bringing this keyboard back and buying an Apple keyboard.

Furthermore ... It is said that the K350 is exactly the same as the WAVE keyboard, with added Unifiying. Well, that's a lie since the WAVE keyboard DID HAVE MAC support.

Anyone else with this keyboard having the issue where the Command and Option keys are NOT functioning properly?  They appear to be reversed.  This is my only MAJOR problem with this. I am a professional media user, and my workflow is my life. I am super frustrated with this.  Running Snow Leopard, and am going to send this back in the next couple of days if I can't find a fix.

I'm (edited) Logitech

I just go my K350 and read the CNET review and chose it over the MS ergonomic 5000 (which I got for my wife for xmas). I am BAFFLED that it's not supported on OS X! It's INCONCEIVABLE! (cue Andre the Giant)

I bought and installed the Performance MX mouse prior and that works flawlessly and is supported through the Logitech Control Center. That's why I'm so confused as to why this other "UNIFYING" device wouldn't even show up? I'm feeling a little deceived and betrayed, even reminded of Quicken and MS's afterthought attitude towards Mac users.

Please release an update/support for OS X!

After reading these messages which go back to September, 2009...I'm astounded that in over six months there's been no response from Logitech. I spent a bunch of time considering which wireless keyboard to by for my new iMac. The K350 looked terrific but after what I've read I think I'll consider something else. Any suggestions?

I tried to go into Keyboard Preferences and tried swapping the modifier keys for "Unifying Device" so command was option and option was command, but it did not seem to work (even though it did work when testing it on my MBP keyboard). I ended up installing DoubleCommand which allowed me to swap the keys at the system level. This fixed the problem, but at the same time swaps the keys for the built in keyboard. So know my K350 is fixed, but when I need to unplug for a meeting my apple keyboard is reversed. Its a bit of a pain switching the setting back and forth, but at least now I don't have to teach my brain to use two different key combos for everyday use.

Hi everyone,

i bought the K350 yesterday and quickly found out that it doesnt work very well on my Macbook with OS X Snow Leopard.

So i contacted the Logitech Support, asking wether theres a new driver to come out or at least a beta program that I can enter to get the new driver earlier. The answer was (in german):

Sehr geehrte/r Frau/Herr Sxxxxx

vielen Dank, dass Sie mit unserem Supportteam Kontakt aufgenommen haben.

Um doppelte Anfragen zu vermeiden (die zu längeren Bearbeitungszeiten führen könnten), möchte ich Sie bitten, dass Sie diese Email über unsere Support-Webseite beantworten, anstatt auf Antwort/Reply im E-Mail Client zu clicken. Um dies zu tun folgen Sie bitte oberen Link.

Logitech konzepiert das eine oder andere Gerät für Mac Systeme. Jedoch nicht alle Geräte sind nun mal automatisch Mac kompatibel. 
Ein Update diesbezüglich ist mir nicht bekannt und bezweifle auch das eine dazu nachkommt. Es wird immer schon im Vorfeld die Kompatibilität eingerichtet. Jedoch nicht im Nachhinein.
Es gibt auch kein Beta Programm diesbezüglich und Beta-Programm-Tester leider auch nicht. Die Gründe sind mannigfaltig.

Trotzallem Danke ich Ihnen für Ihre Vorschläge. Ich werde diese an unsere dafür zuständige Abteilung weiterleiten. Inwiefern Ihre Vorschläge berücksichtigt werden, kann ich Ihnen allerdings leider nicht vorhersagen.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen 
Dxxx Mxxxxx

So it comes down to this: Logitech has and will not release a new driver for their K350 Keyboard. The Support tells me that Logitech never releases compatibility-updates after product launch.

Of course i knew that Logitech doesnt give Mac-Support for the K350 right now but since theres a Mac-like command-key Logo on the keyboard I expected that its just a matter of time.

This is really disappointing.
