I have windows 8, and it works perfectly, maybe you could update your usb/chipset drivers...

All the drivers are up to date, and a driver cannot be forced either. I contacted Mad Catz who now state that I have the older version of this keyboard(bought from Amazon a year ago), and that there are problems with Windows 8 as I suspected. They stated they are working on it. In fairness to Windows 8, that I love by the way, this is the only problem not easily solved. Just beware when you buy this that you get the updated version. The reduced ones are probably being sold off because of this issue. I will meanwhile keep mine, just in case they update the driver, as it is a very good product when functioning. Many thanks for all of your responses. All the drivers are up to date, and a driver cannot be forced either.

Check to make sure you are not trying to use a USB 3.0 slot because that could be causing your trouble. Otherwise, this is a standard USB keyboard and should not have any troubles with Windows 8. Hope that helps.

Actually it did work on Windows 8. I used Windows 8 Pro edition for a week but then I decided to just downgrade it to Windows 7( Don't like Metro Features). I never had any problems using it though. Just plug n play.LED lights worked fine. What I can recommend is, make sure you update all your drivers and download all necessary files needed for Windows 8 for your motherboard. Also, you might wanna check Saitek/Madcatz website if they have drivers of your keyboard or mouse for Windows 8. Just saying, there might be. but on my case I didn't install any.

It worked nicely with windows 8; I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it stopped working. I am an IT guy with many years of experience but I am not able to make it to work. Still waiting for AOC to do something about it, looks like a driver issue.

The IDE driver was a slave in a previous computer. tried to use it as a slave again but no success. This product does not come with anything, nada. No options to do anything. I heard that it may need some drivers but havent't looked for any yet.

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?

Uhm, you might want to try giving your computer some time to find the driver in order to use your keyboard and mouse, also I believe u need to plug it into a USB 3.0 slot, not sure about that though. I also believe that this ISNT compatable with windows 8. but im not sure on that either.

I can't get mine to work. It seems that it isn't compatible with my windows 8.

Game works on W8, but it isn't a very good game. Have to use the keyboard to steer. Don't know about LAN though.

Nope. I haven't gotten it to work on windows 8. I probably downloaded over 5 drivers still didn't work. Only windows 7 I saw it work on.

I have Windows 8.1 and the mouse works but not the keyboard. I found a few other people with the same problem. I am not sure if i should refund or replace because its broke for me errr....

I had the same problem win Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. Mine was I had another driver for a Logitech device that was in conflict. I am guessing you have a USB driver conflict with another device. Check your Device manager for other installed mice.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

My first question would be, what game were you using the mouse on? I have found that some games just can't see all the buttons on the mouse, even with the software installed.

not sure if this will work with Win8 . However I have this Saitek stuff and I hate it. CH pilot makes much better controls.

Windows 8 support has been added. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/5869?section=downloads&crid=405&osid=14&bit=32

Its a plug and play. You shouldn't need any drivers. Windows XP and Windows 7 detects it, installs the drivers its self. I would imagine Windows 8 would be the same. Linux OS computers should detect the mouse as well. I cant speak for MAC computer, I've never used one. Hope this helps. If you already purchased it and its not detecting - try pluging it into a different USB port.

Hey there! I've used this mouse on Windows 8 computers before (I don't own Windows 8, sorry), and it worked well.Also, there are drivers for the device for Windows 8, which are available on the following site:http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gaming-mouse-g300?section=downloads&bit;=32&o;sid=23&softwareFile;=on&selectedFile;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.logitech.com%2Fpub%2Ftechsupport%2Fgaming%2FLGS_8.50.281_x86_Logitech.exeHope this is useful for you, and have an awesome day!

They are working on an 8.1 driver. They say: We are currently working on Windows 8.1 drivers for the UV products. We currently have beta drivers you can use and will post final drivers as soon as they have been tested and approved. You can download the beta drivers from http://www.eclipsetouch.com/support.htm
