I wanted to make a post for all the people who purchased this awful product from Logitech. So if you’re searching the net for a fix, maybe I can help.

This keyboard and mouse have been a constant annoyance since I bought them. If you’ve found this post from a web search, you already know the major problem. The thing just won’t maintain it’s connection to the Bluetooth receiver. Mine has been getting worse over the last couple months, until finally last week both the keyboard and mouse would not connect at all, even after uninstalling everything and starting from scratch.

The problem appears to be centered around the underdeveloped implementation of Bluetooth in this application. And the solution I found was to install a version of SetPoint that doesn’t have anything to do with Bluetooth. You won’t be able to connect other devices, but at least the mouse and keyboard will work. Mine have now been working for a week with no problems, and all the advanced features of the keyboard are active.

Step 1. Uninstall SetPoint for MX5000, and reboot (currently version 3.3 with Bluetooth “support”)
Step 2. Go to Logitech’s site, and download SetPoint for the MX3000 Laser (currently version 4.0)
Step 3. Install downloaded SetPoint
Step 4. Press connect on the mouse/receiver/keyboard/receiver (notice the connect buttons are no longer just for show!)

If you really need a Bluetooth hub, I think you’re out of luck with this one until they fix the drivers.
