I don't know if it's a normal experience for people when moving from wheel mouse to a laser mouse but I'm thinking of taping a couple of 1R$ coins or something else to the inside in order to give it some weight. The mouse that comes with the Wave is annoyingly 'light' compared to the old mouse, it seems to fly around on the table in my hand. There's a feature in OS X where you can have different layouts activated automatically based on which app is running in the foreground, it's probably related to that somehow. This means that the layout suddenly changes to the default layout for keyboards from my country, imagine that. I didn't try 64-bit mode yet but it's a pretty safe bet that it will suck just as hard as it did with the old hardware.Īlso (this is not a new issue, just forgot to mention it earlier) the country setting doesn't stick, how annoying is that! Sometimes it is even grayed out and I'm unable to select it. In Snow Leopard, the LCC issues and bugs are the same as with the old keyboard/mouse. It feels good to type on but I'm not sure how much of an enhanced experience I'm really getting from the 'wave' design. It will take some time getting used to the layout. The Logitech Setpoint software has an outdated looking interface but I like its simplicity and the features. Look in Applications or Utilities, I don't remember where it is (I'm in Windows right now)įWIW I got my new wireless Logitech Wave mouse/keyboard combo and it's very nice. I'm hoping LCC will be more stable with recent hardware, but maybe that's asking for too much. The sad news is, can you believe that I've just TODAY bought a spanking new Logitech Cordless Wave keyboard and mouse set (OSX/Windows) in my native language which will arrive here in the third world around December. EDIT yep that's a new bug in the drivers. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it keeps doing that. This has never worked before, usually when it drops out I've had to plug in another USB keyboard and reboot, so that's an improvement at least.Īlso, this is the first version I've seen that does this:ĩ/29/09 22:06:51 kernelěacktrace 0x4ff2a8 0x4fefee 0x3624b466 0x36244ac4 0x3624afca 0x3624af25 0x3624ae62ĩ/29/09 22:06:51 kernel Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):ĩ/29/09 22:06:51 kernel Center.HID 22:06:51 kernel dependency: 22:06:51 kernel dependency: 22:06:51 kernel dependency: 22:06:51 kernel Trying to change a collection in the registry Then I plugged the receiver into another USB port and it came back up. Just let me click the device itself and get it over with! I'm starting to sympathize with those annoying OSX interface purist types.Ĭompared to what I've come to expect, the latest LCC works well on 10.6.1 (32-bit) - it has only stopped working once so far. One thing that makes me go WTF with each new release is the control panel - first you have to click on a device and THEN click the configure button to get to its settings. To their credit, the following release worked. I did send an email to Logitech one time about that version that didn't work at all. I never really got mad about it because I always assumed that it was partly a hackintosh compatibility issue. LCC has never been trouble free on OSX, from drivers suddenly unloading themselves out of nowhere, to one version that would randomly only detect the keyboard, to another version that just plain didn't work with my Logitech hardware at all! It seems that each new version has it's own bugs and peculiarities. One consistent "feature" I can think of is that F-Lock is always OFF when coming out of S3 sleep. I've been using LCC since 10.5.1 over two motherboards and two different CPUs and it has never consistently worked right. The control panel allows me to configure all the special keys etc etc. None of the special function keys work in Vista or Windows 7 (there's no software support for it - funny thing is at least the sleep and volume buttons used to work fine in XP without the software installed) but they're fine in OSX, which is nice. I own a 7 year old white (now slightly yellow) 'Cordless Access' mouse and keyboard set with both Apple and Windows keys. I think LCC is the most unstable driver software I've ever used.
