Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard recognized but not functional... help!
Hi all,
I have a Logitech MK300 keyboard and mouse that are unfortunately non-functional. I know there are quite a few posts like this (I've read quite a few of them), but none of the solutions help me at all. The output of the command "lsusb" is (with the dongle plugged in): Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc.

I have even tried the command "sudo cat /dev/input/mice", but nothing happens when I move the wireless mouse (I do get random characters when using the trackpad and ibm nub mouse). I assume this works as one of the reviews on Amazon said that he regularly uses this mouse on Ubuntu (this is one of the reasons I bought the thing). Also, for about 5 seconds of clarity earlier tonight, the mouse did work; unfortunately, it stopped working within a few seconds. I have tried restarting with and without the dongle plugged in, turning the mouse on and off, switching usb ports, pressing the connect buttons on the dongle/mouse/keyboard while muttering incantations, etc. Please help!! Thanks much. -Perry |

Others tend to have fun with the special keys. That's not your problem. Are the batteries new? (Or are they the batteries which came with the thing? - mine requires pretty fresh batteries or will not respond. ) Have you tried the things on another computer? Have a look in dmesg for notices about this. |
So my problem gets weirder...
Now the mouse is randomly working (just woke up this morning, plugged it in, held down the connect button and voila!). The keyboard; however, is still not functioning. I looked in "dmesg" and got...

[Edit]: for some reason the keyboard just started working... I have no idea why. At this point I'm just curious. |
You have not answered the questions in the previous post yet.
Remember: we know that this setup is supported out of the box in Ubuntu. Lets rule out common problems with the HW before we speculate about other things. |
