MX Linux Forum

Hello all,

Today I tried to use the keyboards of logitech (bought new) K270 ande K 360. (usb-connected)
To my surprise I was not able to get them working.
So I called Logitech and they told me that those keyboards are jsut meant for Windows.
This is not really mentioned in the product information.
So be warned !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But now the question.
Which usb conected keyboard is working on MXLinux.

Awaiting your reply.

Regards,

I use the Logitech MX Keys keyboard and MX Master mouse from logitech, (older versions). (MX is not a reference to MX Linux) They are wireless with the receiver connected to a USB port.The app solaar has many settings to control them. I would be surprised if the later versions of these models would not work with Linux (and MX).

I have never heard of any normal USB keyboard that worked on Windows but not on Linux. I used to use Logitech and Microsoft keyboards on my multiboot Linux desktop PC with no issue, albeit these were old models bought long ago. A few months ago I got a few budget mechanical keyboards to try, and they all work just fine on my Linux desktop and laptop.

I have a Logitech G213 keyboard that has RGB lighting that requires a WIndows utility to set/change but keyboard operates normally under Linux. Also I have an Ergo 575 wireless mouse that works great too under Linux.

No problems here with a Logitech keyboard that I believe is a K270 keyboard. "K270" is at the top of the lettering on the bottom of the keyboard housing. It's also a wireless keyboard and mouse combo with a receiver|dongle thing plugged into a usb port. The 'K270' doesn't show up in lsusb or dmesg reports though. Maybe try a different usb port if one's available.

Are they bluetooth? If the little light is blinking blue, it's trying to connect bluetooth, if it's blinking white, it's trying to connect to the 'unifying receiver'.

Hope this helps.
