I would like to see this set supported on the Mac.  Please enlighten me if I seem in error, but there is no obvious reason why it shouldn't be.  The cordless Wave 'board is supported, as in the previous Wave Desktop set, and the MX 1100 is supported as a standalone mouse.  None of these devices are Bluetooth, all using RF USB dongles instead.  In spite of this, the product page only indicates Windows support.  I would greatly prefer not to eat of both my notebook's USB ports to use these.

 

Thanks.

Just to let you know, that from what I understand, the desktop set is not compatible with the LCC, that does not mean that the keyboard and mice will not work with the MAC OS X native drivers.

I am a MACINTOSH user, I love LOGITECH products and I all of my information comes from what I have learned about the products and from what TECH SUPPORT told me.

If you are one of those people that don't like my CAPITAL letters, then deal with it, I use them to draw attention to those words.

I can clearly see that the Mac logo is not associated with the product.  My point was that the individual pieces, including the 2.4 GHz receiver with the standalone MX 1100, are supported.  I am sure I'm not the only person who finds this a glaring omission.

 

Obviously the firmware for the combo receiver would not be exactly the same as any of the others, but I cannot imagine that it would have been any monumental effort to produce.  I would have been first in line to buy one of these sets had the small investment necessary to support the Mac OS been made.

I agree Logitech needs to bring support for the Cordless Wave Pro to the Mac OS X Leopard Operatig System. Or you should unbundle the cordless keyboard so we can purchase the Cordless Wave Keyboard and purchase the MX1100 cordless mouse! It behooves me as to why Logitech would not want to sell their product to wide a market as possible given it would take a small amount of development time/money to tweak the firmware to work with Leopard! I vote that Logitech get this done ASAP!

And just to let you know, I am going off what a customer service rep told me, so you would have to talk to them.

 

I have been wrong and I type that way to put being attection to CERTIAN WORDS.

I just posted this question in another thread before I found this one.

 

I'm looking for a new mouse keyboard combo.  My MX 700 duo is biting the dust so its been a while since I last took a look at Logitech and I am finding they really do not have a good combo for Mac users.  Seems to me they simply do not care about us. We are most likely not enough of a financial base to really pursue.  

 

Does anyone know of another manufacturer making a good keyboard/mouse combo?

I bought this keyboard last night only to find that over half of the media keys will not work with the latest LCC.  LCC was not even found on the driver CD that it shipped with.

 

I wonder if there are any 3rd party apps that allow you to map the keys.....

 

Here is a list of all keys that do not work.

Switch Application - (I tried making it use expose and also tried to make it issue a keyboard shortcut command-tab

Pictures button - I cannot for the life of me get this button to launch iPhoto

Media Center - This will not launch front row by executing the keyboard shortcut command - escape. It also will not launch the application using the app launcher option.

Fn-F1 will not launch Word (or any other app)
Fn-F2 will not launch Excell (or any other app)
Fn-F3 will not launch iCal (or any other app)
Fn-F8 will not launch Adium (or any other app)
Fn-F10 will not launch my browser search (or any other app)
Fn-F11 does not seem to be settable in the device manager
Fn-F12 will not eject my CD or launch any apps

These are the only keys that I am having problems with however as you can see it is the majority of the keys on the keyboard.

I have tried all sorts of possible solutions such as using the following apps

 

QuickKeys

Keyboard Maestro

OS X Shortcut System Prefs

 

It seems like none of these apps see the keypress event when I push the keys.  Not even WhatPule a key counting application sees it as a keypress.

I don't have the Pro, but just the cordless Wave set and LCC works fine here.  If I hold down "Fn" and press F1, Word opens, etc

Is there any change to this posting.

 

This is an excellent set, (Wave Pro) and is mostly likely the best keyboard mouse combo available, but no mac support.

 

Logitech - Please fix this discrepancy.
