Anyone used this with a KVM switch? Logitech's web site doesn't commit either way; it says "KVM switches may affect the functionality of your G500."

I only used my KVM with my MX518, and that worked fine. I can't say I ever used a KVM with my G500 though(left click switch went bad in under 1 year btw, I just bought the G700). I suspect the KVM switch would not effect the standard functionality. Any lack of operation would probably be more specific to the KVM's quality or compatibility with the mouse due to voltage or signal loss through the KVM.

if you store the function in the mouses memory it works hopping between multiple computers, it will have issues if you store in profiles on the computer. i havent tested it on a KVM though.

My experience in this regard has not been positive. Initially, it seem to work, but later proved problematic with other functions so after disconnecting my printer/scanner from one of KVM usb ports I had been using, everything went back to functioning normal. I guess that's why they call it a "KVM" switch. **Note I was able to use one of the usb ports because I only needed one of the ports for my wireless Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse connection.

Recommend you go to the Logitech website. I'm sure they can answer your question.

I'm currently using 3 devices (G13, G430, and the analog controller) with the Logitech software on Windows 8.1 64bit on both my desktop and laptop with no problem. The only problem I've had is on my custom desktop, is I'll have to change the usb port for the G13 (it will stop working and begin to flash out of nowhere.)

I guess I should be more specific. Anyone find a KVM that will allow this keyboard to light up? It will work as a standard non-lit keyboard with any KVM but no backlight and what good is that?

Sorry, ahnundh, the basic Iogear KVM does not seem to recognize the Logitech illuminated keyboard. Not lighted, not unlighted, not at all....

My husband says it does not have the same issue that the G500....sorry for the slow response I had to wait till tonight to ask him the question since the mouse was for him

It handles switching between devices with no lag. It electronically switches. The only issue I had was switching devices through the keyboard (certain key combos) , I had to manually switch and I am ok with that. I have found it to be the best KVM switch out there.

I have not tried it, but would expect that there may be an update on the Logitech website for the correct connection software. You could look.

I had trouble connecting my MacBook with Sentey's 4-port hub. My Logitech mouse (M325) never worked through the hub. The K750-Mac sometimes worked, but lost connection so much that I bought an Apple bluetooth keyboard.

No, because there is a bug in the Setpoint program. It doesn't work with the M560 additional Mousekeys. Logitech was not able to fix this bug until today and my experiences with the European Logitech support do not make me very confident that they are able to fix it anywhere in the future.

I have never tried using it with one computer. If you only have one computer, why would you need a KVM switch? Try disconnecting the un-used port and see if it works.

I don't know if this was a G500 issue, but the one issue I get a lot is when I middle click links it does not register properly and just scrolls the page all the way down. Not an issue I've ever had on any other mouse.Update: Okay I played around with the settings and found out the issue described above was due to the left and right click on the wheel being assigned to page up and down, apparently they can be easily clicked when quickly pressing middle mouse button. I unassigned them and it hasn't happened since.

Doris, I have never done this before, but there is no reason, that I can think of, why that would not work. Should not be an issue. I assumed........., based on your question, that you will have all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, etc....) connected to the KVM switch, and that you will be switching back and forth between the two CPUs (computers). One for work and one for home?

I've had similar issues. The solution is to use a KVM with a USB hub. Two examples include IOGEAR GCS 1734 and GCS 1774. Both are 4 port DSUB with built in USB hub. Good luck.
