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

[BuayaGuy]

I don't care about the media buttons - I never use those, even when I had a Mac-supported keyboard.

Strangely enough, I did download the new Setpoint drivers for Windows 7 (I'm running it under Fusion), and they don't work either...

It really is sad to see the lack of consideration of Logitech towards Mac users. I simply cannot understand it.

Actually I wonder, do other Unix (including Linux obviously) users have the same kind of trouble ?

Does Logitech really believe they can go on with only supporting windows for long ?

[BuayaGuy]

The problem is, Logitech probably doesn't need Mac users - they're already selling to 90% of the computers out there running Windows, but what company doesn't want to make even MORE money by selling to the smaller community?

What amazes me is that there doesn't seem to be any official rep who actively patrols these Mac boards on a regular basis. If I saw the way some of these posts are going (packing away my Logitech products/selling them to someone else/not recommending products), I'd be taking it seriously.

Maybe they don't because they're already making enough selling to Windows users....

Can someone help me out ?

I have just bought the K350 keyboard. It is said to be exactly like the Wave Keyboard, but with added Unifying support. Also the keyboard possesses an Apple  Option and Command key.

But... The keyboard just will not be recognised in the LCC, where the Wave Keyboard does! The K350 will work in a limited way, but you cannot define/configure keys, you cannot use the zoom buttons and calculator buttons and so on.

I do not understand WHY this is. If the keyboard already has communications with the computer, why not let the already available Wave keyboard software control the K350?!

Logitech? Why ?

And serious programmers: can you provide a hack that fools the LCC into seeing the K350 as a Wave keyboard?!

I am having the same issue!  Incredibly frustrating since my workflow is based entirely around modifier keys.  The key labeled Option behaves as if it is the Command key, and the Command key does something incredibly funky that I cannot figure out.  It behaves as the Option key...I think.

NLX, did you ever get this issue resolved with the K350?

Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys and swap option and command functions. That solved the issue for me on my Wave Pro. 

Also, you should probably look to USBOverdrive for full keyboard support. I had to use that as well since LCC won't recognize my mouse/keyboard.

Doesn't work for me.  I can swap option and command in the Keyboard System Preferences, but they're still not swapped on my K350 keyboard.  This is with LCC 3.2.0.

It's very annoying that this keyboard won't work properly with my Mac.  It's a comfortable keyboard, and I'm considering buying a second for work.  I won't, though, until this issue is resolved.

This is an awesome trick!!! THANK YOU!  Now I may just have to purchase a license for USB Overdrive so that I don't have to purchase a Microsuck product.
