Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[kris1988]

Hello fellow Logitech owners!

Last night April 10, I installed a program called MotionJoy(?) so I can use my PS3 controller for my PC. After installing the said program, my old logitech wireless keyboard (K250) stopped working. I assumed that the battery died so I charged it. Unfortunately, charging the batteries did not remedy the problem. So I then assumed that I broke the keyboard as I play alot of video games.

Today I bought a refurbished K800 keyboard at Canada Computers, unfortunately it wasn't working as well. I did a bit of research and found out that the unifying receiver is not being detected properly. I did some research about this problem before I started making this post. I did rebooting, clean booting(?), installing all the drivers SetPoint and Unifying Software. I also uninstalled the MotionJoy Software.

Is there anyone who can hep me with my problem?

regards,

Is the unifying receiver plugged into a USB socket on the motherboard?

What tells you that the unifying receiver is not being detected properly?

Hello kris1988,

It seems the uninstaller does not remove the drivers correctly.

To uninstall you have to do the following:

1:  uninstall the motioninjoy drivers here "control panel -> programs and features"
2:  go to device manager and delete all motioninjoy devices, You may have to check the box that says "Delete the driver  software for this device"

3:  type "regedit" in the search bar and open it. Here you have to search for "DS3" using "Ctrl+F" and delete the DS3.exe
4:  reboot

Cintech,

I've researched your past posts in the forum and tried the method you have posted multiple times.  I have a K400 that I am trying to hook up to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

I uninstalled Motioninjoy (my computer shows no devices to delete) and when I search my registry for "DS3", no DS3.EXE shows up. Logitech software is still not recognizing the unifying key as being connected.

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated.

I would like to point out that the console game pad driver application is causing this issue for many manufacturers wireless receivers as well. Please see: http://forums.motioninjoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1347
