Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

It does. You just need to download the drivers from Logitech--my Windows 7 did that automatically for me. Should work for you as well.

I'm currently using 3 devices (G13, G430, and the analog controller) with the Logitech software on Windows 8.1 64bit on both my desktop and laptop with no problem. The only problem I've had is on my custom desktop, is I'll have to change the usb port for the G13 (it will stop working and begin to flash out of nowhere.)

thank you for responding. I too love this keyboard and have used this model for over a decade. I have not been able to find the Logitech Wave model with a USB port. Thus, I will purchase the keyboard ink to fill in the faded keys on my old Wave model, and keep moving forward. Thanks.

Yes, it was compatible with Windows 8... my issue was that at first it worked... and worked well. After a few weeks it became "glitchie" and getting it to turn on and be recognized by my Windows 8 computer... well, it was difficult. If I would get it recognized (in the beginning this was not a problem), when I could get the item connected, I would leave it on, as long as I could. Like a car you don't want to turn off, because you worry about whether you can get it started, again (bad starter, etc.) this item was like that, for me. When I look on the Internet of fellow owners of this item, I found I was not alone in that experience. Rev.

I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model.The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

Haven't tried but I have installed some Classic Shell functions on it and they work just fine. I have also had friends that have Windows 7, installed, and have had no issues. However, its a shot in the dark. If the manufacturer doesn't have the correct driver on the computer, it will cause issues. I would recommend trying windows 8. It's a little weird getting used to but the Registry updates are great and the O/S (especially the boot loader) are much faster and more responsive. It's a great system, just takes a little bit of time getting used to.

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and I just bought this mouse. The driver that came with it on the CD wouldn't install due to "compatability issues" so I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the new Windows 7 driver (32-bit and 64-bit available). Just make sure you choose the right mouse model when you install the driver. Works perfectly and I can now enjoy the full functionality of this mouse (horizontal scrolling, programmable buttons, etc.) The mouse works fine without a driver, but you need to install it for these extra features.

Jenny, don't waste you money, especially with a used one. They were not supported by Windows 7.I bought 3 off Amazon, none lasted more than a month. Go with the Logitech version of the Belkin. They have several models,but the first on they made after they bought out Belkin is the best key pad I've found.

I gave up, also. I read that some of them swell. e-mailed Logitech, but no answer yet from them. When I first started buying their products, keyboards, mice, the remote, wi-fi radio receivers, they were very customer-friendly. It is well over a year now that I found them unhelpful. When I couldn't add Spotify to my old unit, they had me doing all sorts of things, to no avail, till they admitted that it wouldn't work. Landed up having to buy a newer unit. Still don't understand why they wouldn't have a software upgrade for it.

i just made that mistake. only certain new logitech peripheries are designed to use the new "unifying" receiver. I have a keyboard that came with the unifying receiver (the unifying receiver has a little orange logo on it that the other logitech receivers lack). I assumed I could just buy any mouse to couple with it. I receive the mouse today and sure enough, it requires the separate receiver that it came with. Luckily you can find a list of Logitech devices that work on the unifying USB receiver scheme here:

Yes. I'm using it with Windows 7 and have no issues. Little calculator button, forward, back, reload... all work. Volume control works great too.

What operating system are you using? I bought this speaker for a laptop running Vista (which worked beautifully, by the way, because it was configured for Vista). The speaker and Vista didn't work smoothly. When I switched from the laptop's built-in speakers to the Logitech I often had to reboot after I set the Logitech as my default speaker. Then it would work great. It was a nuisance but the Logitech was such an improvement over the wimpy built-in speaker that it was worth it. My new laptop has great built-in speakers so I don't need to use the add on. The Logitech's a great little speaker, though.

I have Windows 7 on my desktop. When I put in the USB device it searched Windows Update for a driver and installed it. The mouse seems to work fine although I haven't been able to find out how to adjust the two side buttons.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry
