"US Licensing prevents Skype functionality without workaround" on by LionOfZion7
Pros: Nice form and tactile response - great idea for VoIP
Cons: US version does not support Skype without some tinkering (see below)
Summary: This is due to a licensing issue with Logitech and the US versions of SetPoint.
To work around this issue, follow these instructions:
http://www.mstarmetro.net/~rlowens/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=SetPoint.Skype
I've verified they work on my 32-bit Windows XP.
Quick Summary:
1) Download the "BR" release of SetPoint from
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/GB/EN,CRID=1796,contentid=12524
or
ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/setpoint310_br.exe
2) Rename the .exe file to .zip and open it in your favorite ZIP program (I use 7zip) <--Note: This step
does not work with WinZip or with XP's built in packaging software
3) Extract the " \3-BedRock" folder and run the uninstall.bat and then run setup.exe file in it to
install "Logitech Communications Manager".
To check if you installed Skype support, check to see if C:\Program Files\Common Files\Logitech\LComMgr\BRSkypePlugin.dll exists. -
"Buggy drivers will mess up your computer" on by BenB2B
Pros: Basic functions work without Setpoint drivers installed
Cons: Setpoint drivers caused two problems with my PC
Summary: I was really excited to get this new keyboard and mouse, as my old Logitech combo had croaked. Unfortunately, as soon as I installed the Setpoint 3.1 software, I got a crackling background sound added to whatever I was listening to through my main speakers. I uninstalled all the Logitech software (including Mouseware), downloaded and installed the latest Setpoint version 3.3. Same problem. Also, both Setpoint installations caused another problem: the window you are working in loses "focus" every few seconds (the title bar dims and it becomes an inactive window, requiring you to reclick within the window to bring the focus back.) The only good thing I can say is that all the basic functions (no arrow keys, no number pad, no special function buttons) of both the keyboard and mouse work even with all the Setpoint tripe removed, so my computer is not completely unusable as I wait for Logitech to fix this. At a minimum I would wait until Logitech releases v.4.0 before buying this.
One last thing: the speakerphone is bass heavy and treble shy, so it sounds a bit muddy.
