Logitech... logi-what?

Having both a Logitech keyboard and mouse, one of the first things I did after installing the Mac was to download the Logitech Control Center (known as LCC), so that I could take advantage of the extra mouse buttons and start using my Windows keyboard on it.

Guess what? It installs properly but never detected any of the devices! Bummer.

After a few install retries and a lot of Googling, I decided to uninstall the LCC and take the subject in my own hands:

Fixing my Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse was an easy fix with SteerMouse.

It's not a perfect solution because my mouse is cordless and must be "awaken" before booting the Mac, or otherwise it doesn't get configured. Other than that, it's a very complete driver (and not very expensive).

Fixing the Logitech Windows keyboard on the other hand was a complete mess.

I have a Windows localized keyboard (not US/UK), and it differs a lot from the known Mac layouts on Preferences->International settings.

So what I did was to download Ukelele to edit the keyboard layout myself. But lucky me: I found my keyboard layout was included in the package! Nice.

After installing it was much better, but I still had 2 bad keys, so what I did was to use Ukelele to fix the remaining keyboard layout.

Resuming, if you are the owner of a Windows Portuguese keyboard, you can try my modded layout here. Follow the instructions in the Ukelele page to activate it, and don't forget changing to the new keyboard after the reboot.

Notice: The key "< >" is dead, so the key "« »" was mapped to write "< >". If you find a way to map this key, I would like to know about it...

UPDATE: I've managed to fix the Portuguese keyboard. Please follow this link for a more recent post...

Important: If you have no keyboard at all on your hackintosh, check if it's a PS/2 keyboard. You may need to install the PS/2 driver.
