Comment 2 christian barranco 2022-09-25 21:11:52 CEST

Tests done on Plasma x86_64
Update
Reboot
MX vertical mouse and MX Keys keyboard still connected
Connections work both using bluetooth and unifying receiver

OK for me after almost one day of use.

Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2022-09-26 11:59:22 CEST

MGA8-64 Plasma on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
As the builtin keyboard of this laptop is defective (some keys do not work anymore), I have a Logitech keyboard attached to the laptop with an USB cable. From the solaar page https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/
I read "Solaar will detect some Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable",
but apparently this keyboard is not one of these, the device list in solaar remains empty.
At least it does not disturb the working of this keyboard and the Microsoft wifi mouse I use.
In view of Christian's experience above, I ginve the OK.

Installed solaar on my Probook 6550b, which has a Logitech mouse attached. Looks OK here.

Validating.
