I have had this keyboard for several years, but it does not seem to work with my new computer with Windows 8 OS. Does this mean it is not compatible?

I have the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, which runs Windows 8.1, and mine works fine.

My computer has Windows 8 OS and it works fine with this keyboard. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you.

I have Windows 8.1 and the mouse works but not the keyboard. I found a few other people with the same problem. I am not sure if i should refund or replace because its broke for me errr....

Any PC keyboard will work with Windows 8. There's nothing special required for Windows 8 compared to earlier versions. But to be specific: yes, it does work with Windows 8, but it is not a "Windows" keyboard. If I recall, the shortcut keys did not work with my computer; it simply saw them as F-keys. So while it will work, it won't have any of the Windows 8 shortcuts you're probably looking for.

I haven't had any problems so far using this keyboard with Win. 7 or 8. Logitech has great software.

It sounds as if it has failed. It is just a standard keyboard. Mine was a gift so I don't actually use it. The person I gave it to loves it.

I honestly have no clue.. I bought the keyboard for a friend... Tho he ended up just getting a new laptop.. Not sure why.. Apologies I can't help more..

I, like Sandy, am using this keyboard on essentially the same machine. I just plugged it in, and everything worked fine. All buttons seemed to be already configured (email, calculator, etc). It was truly "plug and play".I would suspect a faulty keyboard. Do you possibly have another computer to try it on, or perhaps a friend or neighbor who would let you try it out on their computer? Just a thought...Good luck!

At this point, I'm not so sure. I used one for several years, and it worked fine with OS 10.6.8, however, I purchased a new one, and it didn't work well, the shift key would cause my computer to shut down, & other oddities. They sent me a new one, which worked fine for a couple months, and now isn't. The control key is not working, for when i want to zoom, it won't, but will only scroll. It worked fine till today, and now it won't, so I wouldn't recommend it at this time...

I have not personally tested this keyboard on a machine running windows 8... but it should work no problem.

I use it as my main keyboard for a Windows 8.1 machine. No issues at all (software OR hardware).

It is a standard Windows keyboard layout so should since all of my legacy Windows keyboards work with Windows 8 using the Windows keys. I have used this specific keyboard at work, where we use Windows XP (don't laugh) but there is no reason this will not work with WIN 8.

I really am not great with computers. I love the software and can do great with that but know next to nothing about operating systems (I had to Google to find out how to find out what I was using). That being said I am currently using Windows 7 Enterprise and this keyboard is working great.

I absolutely loved this keyboard - with windows 7. I have windows 8.1 now and it disconnects randomly for periods of time, and then tries to partially "catch up" when it reconnects. Its terrible.

I'm not sure as Windows 8 was not around during the short time I owned this, but I'd not recommend this keyboard to anyone for any OS. Read my review to see why.

I know it's designed to work with most Windows computers. Since it uses its keyboard driver. So it may work the same way with other Operating systems. And if it works with your computer, it should work with almost any software or service that's also on it.

I have absolutely no problems with this mouse working on my Windows 8 set-up. It's the OS itself that I am having issues with.

I haven't tested it with Windows yet, but it definitely has the ability to work with any Bluetooth device, and since it's basic keyboard logic, it should work with Windows no problem (I have over 10 years of IS experience and would say with 98% certainty that it will work).I really love mine.
