Hi Aaron,
I am considering getting a new Logitec wireless keyboard and mouse. Will I get any problems using VA if I install the software on the installation CD?
Regards
Jim

An excellent question and I am glad you asked. Most likely you will get a problem due to the way the Logitec drivers handle the mouse clicks. You may find that the Menu button in RISC OS no longer works as the click is captureed by the Logitec driver (to do something with) and then not passed on.

In addition I have one report of a weird problem with the base station device behaving very oddly.

My advice, if you do buy a Logitec device, don't install the drivers, or better still buy something from someone else.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.
Would you be able to recommend another product that would work please.

I've had no problems with cheap generic devices of the sort sold by Ebuyer, Dabs etc

Most of these work without any extra drivers
