rogerh Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hello - Searched the HW database for Mandriva, and could not determine if the Logitech Wave (hardwired usb) worked well with linux. I have just installed 2008.1, and am having trouble with my current old style keyboard - circular connector type (often keys don't work, and have to reboot). Wife like the wave (good thing) and I want to make sure that it will work prior to getting one. Did a search on this forum and didn't find much, which may be a positive commentary..... Input appreciated. Regards -- Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) All USB keyboards work under Linux, keytouch does have an entry for it (which means that virtually all special keys will work without "teaching"), so I fail to see why it should be a bad choice.

rogerh Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks - guess I'll go ahead and get one and hope that it resolves my intermittent keyboard problem. Regards -- Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chiff Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi, As I am brand new to Linux can you please tell me how to get "KeyTouch" to run my wave keyboard. I can't find any program called KeyTouch anywhere. Do I have to download it and if so how does one install it in Linux ? Thank you for your kind assistance.

ianw1974 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 A quick google shows: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...earch&meta= however, last Mandriva rpm was for Mandriva 2007. So you'll probably have to check the main keytouch website and follow their documentation for getting it installed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I can't find any program called KeyTouch anywhere. http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ It's included in almost all major Linux distros- either in official, or unofficial repos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Don't get the bluetooth keyboards, especially not the logitech mx5000, it sucks badly both under windows and linux as it keeps losing its connection; the mx3200 is good but there may already be a newer model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
