10.2 has just been upgraded by bits relating to KDE and now my keyboard not only will not register keystrokes but I had to turn off the key repeat feature because pressing any keyproduc ces a non-ending rpeat of thatkey.
Is none else experiencing this or is my Logiteh keyboard/mouse combo on its last legs of a 3-year illustrious career?

Hi Basil
Same problems here with autorepeat - sometimes it just goes ballistic and won't stop without me hitting the keyboard :( Not good for SSHing over a slow connection.
Keyboard here is also a Logitech...
Cheers

I stopped buying Logitech hardware because of crappy quality control. Back in the day Logitech used to put out some fairly good products. But the last 3 joysticks got worse every successive time I bought one (after the 2 kludgy model I gave it one more shot). The last keyboard from them went bad after about 18 months (dead keys and flaky behavior - Linux or Win). The mouse is about the best thing they seem to make now - I have an MX500 and so far it's the only Logitech device that seems worth the money. To give some insight into my experience, lets consider the joystick - the accuracy was so bad that I couldn't fly a flight sim with any reliabilty. Throttle wouldn't zero and on full wouldn't kick on afterburners regardless of how I set it up in the OS or game config. It wouldn't stay level because the stick wouldn't zero and if I took my hand off it the craft would roll or turn - regardless of any trim adjustments. The keyboard would flake out in both OS'es and in Linux it would freak out - after replacing it I have had no problems (pick any generic keyboard - how can you screw up a keyboard?). I replace the joystick with a Saitek and almost fell out of my chair - it's accurate, smooth, precise and I have had absolutely no problems with it - the same goes for the Saitek game pad as well. Given the price Logitech has been asking for their products I likely won't be buy a Logitech mouse when the time comes. The 800 dpi/resolution doesn't really seem to make a difference in Windows and in Linux - unless it's plugged into a usb port the 800 res doesn't matter either. And when plugged into a usb port one must use an app to enable the mouses higher res functions. As you can tell my opinion of Logitch products is less than favorable - I used to love 'em, not I avoid them.
