Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[lavamakt]

Hello.

I just bougt the logitech k400. I really love it except the fact that tuchpadscrolling is only available when using two fingers.  This makes it impossible to scroll while holding the keyboard with both hands..

Every laptop mousepad I'we ever tried have this feature.

Is one finger scrolling possible on the tuchpad?

Hello lavamakt,

One finger scrolling is not a current feature on the K400. Please see this page to view the features of the touchpad.

[Please be courteous]  The link he gave was for the Logitech Wireless Touchpad!!!! Not the k400.

Hello veer01_42,

Here is the link for the K400 supported gestures.

This is not a support issue Clintech, this is a development issue.

The one finger scrolling gesture is a feature that can be implemented in software. The Setpoint development team needs to add this feature to the Setpoint software and all will be right.

If it comes down to being a licenscing issue, or a patent issue, just pay the company holding the patents and implement it. Ur annoying your customers without this feature.

Do the right thing by your customers and good old common sense and just fix it please.

You can use Autohotkey for one finger scrolling. I use the keyboard like a controller and one finger to scroll. I also use the mouse button on the left as left mouse click (obviously), Esc as right-click, and F1 to initiate one button scrolling. Here's a video demonstration of it and a lnk to the script here. I'm not sure linking to this is allowed but in the meantime, Logitech should be working on making this keyboard more configurable, I'd hope.

Edit: That was the compiled executable. If you don't trust it, here's the script itself. You can configure it as you wish or change key layout but you have to install Autohotkey if you don't want to use the .exe file. I'm using this script and keyboard as we speak. It makes it a lot easier for web browsing on an HTPC, if you ask me.

I'll edit this one more time in case mods don't allow linking to direct download sites or it's taken offline:

; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language:       English
; Platform:       Win9x/NT
; Author:         A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
;	Esc is right-click and F1 is click-to-scroll. F2 is now mapped as Esc
;

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


Esc::Rbutton
F2::Esc

$*f1::
Hotkey, $*f1 Up, f1up, off
;KeyWait, f1, T0.4
;If ErrorLevel = 1
;{
   Hotkey, $*f1 Up, f1up, on
   MouseGetPos, ox, oy
   SetTimer, WatchTheMouse, 5
   movedx := 0
   movedy := 0
   pixelsMoved := 0
;}
;Else
;   Send {f1}
return

f1up:
Hotkey, $*f1 Up, f1up, off
SetTimer, WatchTheMouse, off
WatchTheMouse:
MouseGetPos, nx, ny
movedx := movedx+nx-ox
movedy := movedy+ny-oy

pixelsMoved := pixelsMoved + Abs(nx-ox) + Abs(ny-oy)

timesX := Abs(movedx) / 4
ControlGetFocus, control, A
Loop, %timesX%
{
    If (movedx > 0)
    {
        SendMessage, 0x114, 1, 0, %control%, A ; 0x114 is WM_HSCROLL
        movedx := movedx - 4
    }
    Else
    {
        SendMessage, 0x114, 0, 0, %control%, A ; 0x114 is WM_HSCROLL
        movedx := movedx + 4
    }
}

timesY := Abs(movedy) / 4
Loop, %timesY%
{
    If (movedy > 0)
    {
        Click WheelDown
        movedy := movedy - 8
    }
    Else
    {
        Click WheelUp
        movedy := movedy + 8
    }
}   

MouseMove ox, oy
return

If you don't use the .exe, install Autohotkey and copy and paste the code in a text file, then save it as Logitechk400.ahk. Though if you want smoother scrolling, change the movedy and movedx variables to 1 and Windows scroll wheel number to 1 in the control panel. 

The script works pretty well with Firefox gestures where right-click (Esc) initiates the gesture. The only time I really have to resort to a mouse is when gaming.
