MEGAMAN  I've been getting major kernel panics with 3.0.1.

I've written to the developer a couple of times now with no response.

Anyone else having problems?

**...

MEGAMAN  3.1 screws my Tabs in Safari so I can't tell which tab I'm in.

COME ON LOGITECH!

What's it gonna take for this company to take writing software for its product seriously? I mean really. I've been using Logitech mice and keyboards for eons and cannot remember a time where their software wasn't getting canned by consumers.

All these years later and it's the same old story.

Says allot about how much Logitech listens to its customers.

ANDREAS J. MUHR  I have the same problem. LCC 3.1 screws up the display of my Safari Tabs. Sometimes even makes the Safari menu bar entries disappear.

MEGAMAN  Overall, works ok.

A bit bummed about some of the Logitech mice constantly requiring 'reconnection' to keep all buttons mapped.

Also, since V4 my Mac won't wake from sleep (i.e. if I put it to sleep manually either by selecting sleep from drop-down menu or via sleep button on my keyboard) - forcing me to do a restart. Not happy about this so I've uninstalled it and now using USB Overdrive until this bug is fixed.

MEGAMAN  SteerMouse 4.0 is out!

Been using USB Overdrive 3.0 as it now works perfectly with my MX Revolution.

I'm interested to hear what people think of the update to SteerMouse.

MEGAMAN  I had a query about re-mapping the function keys on a DiNovo Mac edition which are not responsive to Keyboard Maestro.

I too hate to have to press the FN key every time I want to hit a function key.

Try using Controller Mate. http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/

It has a bit of a learning curve initially, but it's really not that difficult. I used it in conjunction with Keyboard Maestro and USB Overdrive to have my Edge and MX Revo work perfectly (even they hyper scroll).

Give it a try.

MEGAMAN  I've finally found a great alternative to LCC - it costs a couple of bucks but well worth it.

I have the Dinovo Edge for Mac - I can remap all but one key (Front Row) using a program called Keyboard Maestro.

I have the MX Revolution - I use two programs so that I can get absolutely 100% usability - USB Overdrive along with ControllerMate. And yes, all buttons on my Revo work - even the scroll switching.

It's a bit of a bummer that I have to use 3 apps to do the job of 1, but I am one totally happy camper.

DTRUETT1  I want to ditch LCC so badly, but can’t get Keyboard Maestro to remap the function keys.

I am familiar with macros, as a QuicKeys user. The problem with my Logitech diNovo (not Edge) Mac Edition keyboard is that if I test it with, say, F1 as a hot key, pressing F1 doesn’t do a thing, as out of the box the F-keys keys are “dead” without pressing the “fn” key at the same time and who wants to do that? To make KM see a function key as a hot key, I have to use the “fn” and the F-key to put it in, then it won’t work unless I press the “fn” key along with F1.

If you could help me to remap, I’d GLADLY pay the price of Keyboard Maestro and go back to SteerMouse for my Revolution MX. Anyone? Please.

MEGAMAN  If you want to get functionality from your Logitech keyboard without the need for LCC, try using Keyboard Maestro. Works a treat!

MEGAMAN  I recently bought the Logitech DiNovo Edge for Mac and thought I'd give LCC the opportunity to take ownership of the new keyboard and my MX Revolution.

I played around with LCC a while ago and it seemed stable to I took the plunge and installed it again (was using SteerMouse) thinking it would be cool to have full customisation and be able to check battery status.

Well, I gave it a few days to impress me...but in the end I had to get rid of it.

First, LCC wouldn't allow my Mac to go to sleep at its designated time. I had to do it manually.

Secondly, every time my MX Revo would wake from sleep mode, it would forget the custom buttons I had set up for In Design and Illustrator - forcing me to perform a restart.

The icing on the cake? My Revo would loose its right click function all together. WTF???

I am absolutely flabbergasted that in today's day and age, with some truly amazing programs out there - many of which seem pretty simple, yet provide an invaluable function and are on the whole, robust - that Logitech are still fumbling around in the dark. Seriously, WTF is wrong with this company? They announce to the world that they have Mac compatible hardware, yet seemingly can't find a decent programmer on the entire planet to write some decent code for their stuff to work as advertised. AS ADVERTISED LOGITECH!!!!! EVER HEARD OF FALSE ADVERTISING???

Anyhow, I'm back to my trusty SteerMouse and have re-mapped the new keyboard using Keyboard Maestro - works perfectly!!!

LCC has been flawed since its inception. It would be smarter for Logitech to commission a software company to develop something that works and add value to their product range. This includes both Mac and PC drivers - from what I understand, PC drivers aren't all that much better.

Thankfully there are 3rd party developers out there who know what the hell they're doing.

Such a shame, cause Logitech make some good peripherals.

****.

MEGAMAN  I hate to say it, but I've been running 2.7 on my Intel iMac with my MX Revolution and whilst it's only been a few days, this version seems to be running pretty good.

One thing that erks me is that the forward and back buttons don't work in finder windows.

Other than that, not bad.
