Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[ewa]

Has anyone used the Mac Edition successfully with Windows 7?

I'm running boot camp and the bluetooth connect in windows sees the keyboard but will not connect with it - the little teal wheel just spins forever.

I've also had no luck running the LBTwiz program that comes with set point.  It opens but never shows anything on screen...

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks

When you run the bluetooth connect, instead of pairing it right away, right click on the icon of the keyboard, then under the services tab, check the "Drivers for mice, keyboard etc (HID)", then click ok and it should look for drivers. After that installs your keyboard should work. Hope this helps.

This did work for me. In windows 7.

This also worked for me.  Yeah!!  I love the dinovo keyboard and I use it with my Mac Mini.  However, I also like to use Windows and often boot up in Windows 7.  To have the keyboard work for both is most excellent.  

A big plus would be to have the Logitech Setpoint software work with the keyboard in the Windows workspace.  You should really see if you could offer this enhancement to your product.  It would make this the perfect cross-platform keyboard used with a Mini Mac for a multimedia/entertainment system on OSX and used for whatever else you might need in Windows.

Thanks again Logitech.  With this and my Logitech Z5500 speakers, I am a happy camper.

Following this procedure got my dinovo edge mac edition to work with Windows 7 HOWEVER now I'm running into another problem...

The keyboard seems to randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer (only in windows 7) When it disconnects and reconnects the battery light and the bluetooth light turns on and then turns off after it has reconnected. My battery is fully charged, and this is only happening in Windows 7.

This is becoming quite annoying and has already happened twice while I've been in the process of replying to this thread. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT!!!!!!! FIX FOUND!!!!!!!!

Ok so I think i finally fixed it!!!

The fix for random disconnects/reconnects of diNovo Edge Mac edition:

Go into your bluetooth settings, and your drivers for Bluetooth (NOT THE DINOVO DRIVERS, but your actual bluetooth drivers) and in the power settings tab, UNCHECK "Let my computer turn off this device" and presto!!!!

Hi, I recently purchased this keyboard in mac edition as well.

I'm now also running windows 7 yet the setpoint 4.8 that i downloaded from the logitech website never recognized my keyboard but only my bluetooth mouse.

May I know which setpoint software did you use to make windows 7 find the dinovo edge mac so I can program the hot keys as my wish!

Thanks in advance.

run the precedure as described earlier by umgoblue2008 . the driver loaded is the default microsoft driver for bluethooth keyboard/mouse. the keyboard and volume all works. but the mouse touch pad does not. there is no light on the touch pad either. the light does light up when connecting the device. it also light up when i remove and reconnect the blue tooth mouse mice from windows' "device manage". 

same as JKST. install setpoint make no difference. the setpoint does not recongnize the keyboard. is any reason that the logitech driver does not work recognize their own keyboard on windows. it feels like that logitech is doing this deliberately since the windows edition is quite  a bit more expensive than the mac version.

I've successfully setup my "diNovo Edge Mac Edition" under Windows XP SP2 using the procedure described here. Every single key and functionality works for me: Touchpad, volume slider, media keys, power button and even the  Front Row key (opens Windows Media Player)! Only the "Eject" key failed to work. I've used SharpKeys to map "left command->control" and "right command->Windows Key". Long story short, the "diNovo Edge Mac Edition" is as functional in Windows as it's PC counterpart.

The only snag I've encountered has to do with the fact that there's no apparent way to get a "passkey protected" bluetooth connection. I've spent hours on this with no success. If someone knows how to get the "passkey" rolling please inform.

Thanks

I had problems with this fix at first. I have long been using the keyboard for my mac, and when after I clicked on the checkbox in the Win7 Bluetooth settings, nothing happened (no driver install or anything, it would just add the keyboard to my devices). After a little bit a googling, I found that I had to unpair the keyboard in osx first. After doing so, doing the aforementioned fix worked perfectly. I know the trackpad works, didn't try anything else out.

Thanks!

Specs:

MBPro 2.6ghz (Late 2007) 4ghz ram

OS: Triple booted OSX 10.6.4, Windows 7 32-bit through bootcamp (whatever the latest version as of now), Ubuntu 9.10

Hey, I followed the instructions in this thread but only the keyboard works for this device. The trackpad and mouse buttons do not. Has anyone run into this problem and found a fix?

Cheers
