Full Version: Logitech K400 keyboard under Linux and XBMC
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello all,

I'm using the Logitech K400 keyboard with my XBMC under Ubuntu Linux.
It works well but some things are very annoying:
1. The movement of the mouse-pointer is too slow when swiping on the pad
2. tipping a little bit too strong on the pad, produce a mouse key click
Under Windows exist a driver from Logitech, which is configurable, but for Linux I found nothing similar up to now.

Does somebody know how to configure the K400 keyboard under Linux?

Thanks and regards

Hi all,

Meanwhile I found a solution for "configuring the K400 keyboard".

Just connect the K400 keyboard to a Windows PC, install the logitech friver under windows and configure the K400 keyboard (the new configuration is stored in the keboard). Than use it with Linux.

You can use Solaar to pair your keyboard, but I'm not sure what you can configure with it though.
