Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Problems

I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse set. I want to do the following:

a) Use the keyboard on my first computer, and the mouse on my second computer... what type of extension device would I need to do that (name)?

b) customize what some of the buttons do on the keyboard. For example, the half-moon button puts the computer to 'sleep,' but I would rather have it put it into 'hibernate.' Is this possible? Without drivers?

thanks.

a) I don't think that is possible. The base port will plug in to one of the computers, and that is the computer that both keyboard and mouse will work on.

b) You can customize the buttons by clicking the iTouch system tray icon. It will allow you to make the buttons associate with whatever you want.
HTH

There is no such icon in my system tray (I guess certain drivers are not installed). Is there any other way to do this?

And in regards to "a", I am fairly sure you can get an extension for one.

Did you install the logitech software that came with the keyboard and mouse? That is how you change the button functionality.
As for using on separate computers, it might be possible if you could get another wireless base station, but you'd really have been better off just to buy the keyboard and mouse separately and connect them individually to the desired computer.

Let me do a diagram of my device.

So what is to stop me from putting the keyboard output into one computer, and the mouse output into a diff. computer? Besides length (I would get an extension cord).

Sorry, not thinking very clearly. That will probably work. You'll have to install the logitech software on both computers to change the settings.

How do the "special" buttons on my keyboard work (without drivers installed) right now?

ex: the internet button pops up I.E., the half-moon puts the computer to sleep, etc.

Is it sending key-combinations or something?

I half recall some setting somewhere for special key functions, but I can't remember anything more about where it was or what it did. The easiest way is just to install the logitech software.

Where is the special key functions! heh. Must... find... it!
