Logitech Cordless desktop LX 710 woes

[sourceninja]

I found a brand new LX 710 laser (keyboard and mouse) in our storage room today. I hooked it up with it's little USB dongle and everything worked.

Except for every now and then the command key (windows key), ctrl, and alt tend to not register when I push them. I can be typing a long just fine and decide to close the window. Hit Command-w and nothing happens. Or command-c just prints c on the screen.

Anyone know if there is an easy fix? It's working fine right now, but I don't know if that will last.

I also installed the Logitech Control Center but it does not detect any logitech devices. The box for the LX 710 says windows only.

The problem was the batteries. Apparently they simply were not brand new.

I would never have thought to suggest that, goo to hear you got it worked out.

I was going to suggest a full reformat of the hard drive and reinstallation of OSX and all software.

Then I would have asked if the batteries were new. 😉

Well, that was my next suggestion as well. I mean, nuking it from orbit is still the only real way to be sure that you have solved a given problem.
