    Question

    Why does my Logitech K375s wireless keyboard stop working on the Windows lock screen?

    Answer

    While the provided manual for the Logitech K270/K360 does not specifically address the K375s model's behavior on the Windows lock screen, this is a common issue often related to power management or driver settings. Here are troubleshooting steps based on general Logitech wireless keyboard support:

    • Check USB Port: Ensure the Unifying receiver is plugged directly into a USB port on the computer rather than a hub or extender, as these can sometimes lose connection during system state changes like lock screens.
    • Power Management Settings: In Windows, go to Device Manager, find your keyboard/receiver under 'Keyboards' or 'Mice and other pointing devices', right-click Properties, and under the Power Management tab, ensure 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' is unchecked.
    • Update Drivers: Ensure you have the latest Logitech Options or SetPoint software installed to keep your device drivers current.
    • USB 3.0 Interference: If your receiver is near a USB 3.0 device (like a hard drive), it may cause interference. Try moving the receiver to a different port or using a USB extender cable to move it away from other peripherals.
    • Re-pair the Device: Use the Logitech Unifying software to unpair and then re-pair your K375s to the receiver to refresh the connection.

    If the issue persists, it may be a specific Windows security setting preventing wireless inputs on the lock screen for security reasons, though this is less common for standard HID devices.

    請教K470 鍵盤的快捷鍵設定
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I configure the shortcut keys on the Logitech K470 keyboard?

    Answer

    To customize the shortcut keys on your Logitech K470 keyboard, you will need to use Logitech's software. The function keys (F1-F12) on your keyboard have pre-assigned shortcuts, but you can change their functions using the Logi Options+ or Logitech Options application.

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Download the Software: Go to the official Logitech Support website. You can find the software by searching for your product, the K470 keyboard. The recommended software is typically Logi Options+.
    2. Install the Software: Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
    3. Configure Your Keyboard: Once installed, open the Logi Options+ application. It should automatically detect your K470 keyboard.
    4. Customize Keys: In the software, you will see an image of your keyboard. You can click on the function keys (F1-F12) or other customizable keys to assign new shortcuts or actions from a list of available options.

    While the provided manuals are for the K270 and K360 models, many Logitech keyboards share similar default hotkeys. Your K470 likely has shortcuts for media control (play/pause, volume), launching applications (web browser, email, calculator), and system functions. The Logi Options+ software will give you full control over these settings.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why are the Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys not working on my Logitech MK275 keyboard?

    Answer

    If the Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys are not responding on your Logitech MK275, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

    • Check NumLock Activation: Ensure the NumLock key is enabled. If a single press does not work, try pressing and holding the key for five seconds.
    • Verify Keyboard Layout: Go to your Windows Settings and ensure the selected keyboard layout matches your physical keyboard.
    • Disable Mouse Keys: Sometimes "Mouse Keys" can interfere with the numeric keypad. Go to Control Panel > Ease of Access > Ease of Access Center > Make the mouse easier to use and uncheck Turn on Mouse Keys.
    • Check for Interference: If you are using a USB 3.0 device nearby, it may cause wireless interference. Try moving the Unifying receiver to a different USB port (preferably USB 2.0) or use a USB extender cable to move the receiver away from other electronics.
    • Update Drivers: Ensure your keyboard drivers are up to date via the Device Manager in Windows.
    • Reconnect the Device: Use the Logitech Unifying Software to unpair and then re-pair your keyboard with the receiver.

    Note: While the MK275 is similar to the K270/K360 models featured in the manuals, some specific software features may vary. If these steps do not resolve the issue, test the keyboard on a different computer to determine if the problem is hardware-related.

  5. Why can’t I find my MY740 keyboard?

    Thomas F R Usher asks Why can't I find my MY740 keyboard?
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why can't I find my Logitech MY740 keyboard?

    Answer

    It appears there may be a misunderstanding regarding your model number. Logitech does not currently list a model "MY740." It is possible you are referring to the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard K740 or perhaps the MK710 wireless combo.

    If your keyboard is wireless and you are having trouble finding it on your computer or connecting it, please follow these troubleshooting steps based on the Logitech Wireless Keyboard manual:

    • Check Power: Ensure the keyboard is turned on using the power switch (usually located on the top or back).
    • Verify the Receiver: Make sure the USB Unifying receiver is securely plugged directly into a computer USB port. Avoid using USB hubs or extenders initially.
    • Check Batteries: Ensure you have removed the battery protective tab and that the batteries (usually AAA) are fresh and installed with the correct orientation.
    • Software Pairing: If the device is not automatically detected, download and run the Logitech Unifying Software from logitech.com/unifying. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair the device by turning the keyboard off and then back on when prompted.
    • Interference: Move metallic objects away from the path between the keyboard and the receiver, and keep other electrical devices at least 8 inches (20 cm) away to avoid radio frequency interference.

    If you are searching for a digital manual on our site and cannot find "MY740," we recommend searching for "K740" or "Wireless Keyboard" to find the most relevant guide for your hardware.

  6. on a Logitech mini keyboard where can i get instructions for changing the del key to put laptop to sleep mode

    Vern asks on a Logitech mini keyboard where can i get instructions for changing the del key to put laptop to sleep mode
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I get instructions for changing the 'del' key to put my laptop to sleep on a Logitech mini keyboard?

    Answer

    To change the function of the 'del' key to put your laptop into sleep mode, you will likely need to use Logitech's keyboard customization software. The specific software required depends on the exact model of your mini keyboard.

    Here are the general steps to follow:

    1. Identify your keyboard model: Look for the model number on the bottom of your Logitech keyboard.
    2. Download the correct software: Go to the Logitech Support website and search for your keyboard's model number. Download the appropriate software, which could be Logitech SetPoint, Logitech Options, or Logi Options+.
    3. Install and run the software: After installation, open the application.
    4. Customize the key: In the software, you should find a section for customizing keyboard keys. Select the 'del' key from the on-screen layout of your keyboard and reassign its function to 'Sleep' or 'Standby'.

    Please note that some Logitech keyboards, like the K270 referenced in the manual, already have a dedicated hotkey for sleep mode (often marked with a crescent moon icon, labeled as feature #7 in the manual). You may want to check if your keyboard already has such a key before reassigning another one.
