Keys suddenly repeated over and over. Here's my little army of replacement mice.For the past month or so, I've had some difficulty writinggggggggggggg. My Logitech Craft keyboard and MX Master Mouse connecting to my Windows bootcamp via bluetooth.My first problem was that ubuntu 12.04 crashes when i use a usb bluetooth adapter, i installed blueman and reboot, now i have blueman-manager and ubuntu does not crash anymore when i use the bluetooth adapter.Now my real problem is pairing and making works the touchpad, in the blueman-manager appears the Logitech t651 like a mouse/touchpad device, then i select the option to set up a new device, in the wizard i select the device, in type use input device, in pair password use '0000' then try to pair but the program fails, the device is added but not connected.Is there anyway to force the connection?, i do not understand why in android and windows is to easy to connect it and in linux is really hard.Is possible tha the last stable ubuntu version has fixed this problem? (in that case i'd upgrade)Note: The touchpad is supposed to be desiged for mac (tested and works on mac), but i've tested on android 4.4, android 4.2 (multi touch works) and windows 7 (no gestures but pointer and two fingers scroll works), other people has tested it in windows 8 (works well). The current update (Windows Ink Workspace is now present) has apparently done something to the Logitech Setpoint software in that it doesn't display any options for controlling the touchpad. Also, in the Windows control panel there is no option shown for touchpad control (probably related to the issue with the disabling of the control options.
This happened with my trackpad, but not quite as often. I waited a few seconds, and I'd inevitably get "Connection Lost" showing up on my screen. My mouse would suddenly cease to respond. The undo function has its limits when undoing repeated key presses.It wasn't just my keyboard.
Logitech T651 Windows Mac Mini That
Yes, my wife and I have been p0wn3d by an 8 pound fluff monster. I do most of my article writing on the couch, about 10 feet away from the Mac mini that powers the big 65" TV I use as a screen.I often write this way, because the puppy whines and yaps when I sit at my desk. At first, I thought it was a problem with Bluetooth range. I have found what appears to be a good work-around, but in the interests of helping anyone else experiencing these symptoms, I'm sharing my story and the result of the research I've done.The problem started happening after I upgraded most of my Macs to Sierra. It pairs effortlessly and supports up to six mice or keyboards on one USB port.About a week ago, it reached the point where my Macs were, for all intents and purposes, unusable for doing my any real work.
It's special because it's small, it's backlit, and it allows me to switch between up to three computers. It was not that.After getting too many repeating deletes, I switched from writing on my big screen to writing on the small Mac mini only about 18 inches from the keyboard.My keyboard of choice is the Logitech K810. It's not about rangeBecause most of my writing is done in this position, about 10 feet from the Mac using a Bluetooth connection, it was natural to think that range might have become an issue after upgrading to Sierra. As usual, when I write articles, he is sitting on my lap, with a small pillow on top of him, and a keyboard on top of that.
It happened on my machines whether I was in Word, Evernote, or even Gmail, so it wasn't an issue with any one writing application. If you're a fur-parent, you'll understand.Even connecting just 18 inches away, the repeating key problem continued. Yes, I have a second machine and screen at my couch, used primarily for coding.
Article paragraphs got deleted. I had a couple of Apple-made wireless keyboards around, so I tried them. The key repeat problem immediately went away with a wired keyboard.I was starting to think that maybe Sierra had introduced some sort of requirement or bug that made non-Apple wireless keyboards misbehave. I had an old Apple wired keyboard in the gear closet, so I connected that to the iMac. They didn't have an answer (not their fault, as I'll show), but they were nice enough to send me a K780 keyboard to test (more on that in a bit).While waiting for the K780 to arrive, I tried some other tests. I reached out to Logitech with a bug report.
In addition to intermittent connection failures on the two Mac minis and the iMac, I was experiencing the same problem on my 2015 MacBook Pro.I was using an Apple Magic Mouse on all my machines. It wasn't the miceThroughout all of this, I was still experiencing mouse connection failures. But, clearly, the problem wasn't just the Logitech keyboards.
It contends that there are unfixed Bluetooth problems in 10.12.3 (Sierra), but if you read back, it also contends that there have been Bluetooth issues in previous MacOS releases as well.I had no problem until Sierra, but now, like I said, it's been virtually unusable. It wasn't conclusive, but at least I wasn't alone.Updated: If you're working on a DIY project of your own, this comprehensive guide to tech projects is a good place to start.Then, while digging around, I found this article. I did a query to my social networking followers and a few folks responded that they also had some problems. It's probably BluetoothBy this point, I suspected it was something very badly frak'd up in Sierra's Bluetooth stack. When these came in, I charged them, and tried them out.
The wired keyboard, obviously, is wired. The fixThat ancient wired keyboard and the Logitech-supplied K780 provided the answer: don't use Bluetooth. I also sent a note to Apple PR asking if they've seen this problem before, but (not unexpectedly), I've heard nothing back.
I'd like to see a new iteration of the backlit K810 that supports both Bluetooth and the Unifying Receiver. It pairs effortlessly and supports up to six mice or keyboards on one USB port. I have had intermittent disconnections from the Magic Trackpad, but since I use it so rarely, it's not too much of a problem.Logitech's design of the Unifying Receiver seems particularly brilliant right now. The K780 is nice, but it's bigger and heavier than the K810, and it's not backlit.The MX Anywhere 2 mouse is great for switching between machines, but the lack of touch on its surface means some of the more vital trackpad-like gestures I use in Photoshop can't be done without Apple's Magic Trackpad. I haven't had any failures in the days since I moved to this solution.I'm not quite as happy with this approach as I was with the Magic Mouse/K810 approach, but I'll take "it works" over not being able to get work done any day. Everything is now connected using Logitech Unifying Receivers.
