    Hi to all!
    quick question: are there drivers for the Logitech S530 Keyboard (+ mouse) for Windows?
    When I bootcamp into Windows I loose the numpad and some features in the mnouse (like horizontal scrolling). I know it's designed for Mac, but anyway...
    Will the S510 drivers work?

    Btw, it's a great product, highly recommended! =D

    Regards

    The Logitech S530 was specifically made for OS X, so Logitech have not released specific drivers for it. You could try the S510 drivers, and there are some work arounds regarding the incorrect key mapping, but there are no official Logitech Windows drivers.

    I've got the same keyboard/mouse combo, running Vista in Bootcamp. I dont mind it so much (the missing features).

    Let me ask you a question about the s530 (read something on a review that I want clarified)- You have the mouse/keyboard plugged it, then unplug it and take the laptop to school, work, wherever. Now, when you plug the keyboard/mouse back in, do they still work? I read that if you unplug it then plug it back in you have to restart the computer.

    Nah', it's the best wireless setup I have seen so far! Plug/unplug as much as you like and it just works.
    I mean, keyboard and mouse start responding as soon as the laptop is turned on. I can press the Alt key from my wireless keyboard to bootcamp without any problem (I thought the OS needed to completely boot to enable USB / whatnot, but it's not the case). Definitely recomended.

    Thx for the replies on the drivers :)

    Just though I'd update this thread: in WinXP you just have to enable Num Lock (F6) and voilá, numpad works!

    Really happy with this combo! =D
