    Question Keyboard and Mouse drivers for Windows 7

    Does anyone know if there's any drivers (or software) out there which can help me map my extra keys on my keyboard and mouse in Windows 7?

    I have a Logitech Elite Keyboard and an MX510 Optical Mouse, but Logitech only have drivers for Windows XP, so I'm presuming this was a problem as well on Vista?

    My problem is, I can't use any of my extra keys in Windows 7 as they are all default and have no way of changing them. Also, non-MS applications are not recognising them, for example, Winamp doesn't respond to the media keys on my keyboard, games don't recognise the 5 alternative keys on my mouse. It's getting pretty annoying.

    I've had a quick look around but can't find anything, any Vista users here that have Logitech keyboards and mice and are using anything to help them?

    Cheers in advance.

    I think Set Point 2.6 supports the MX510 even although it isn't advertised on the Logitech website. If you can get a hold of that and install it you should be able to use your extra buttons. I believe it has to be the 2.6 version though.

    Thanks, but I've decided to go back to XP. Windows 7 is great, but I'm more comfortable using XP still and I probably won't be able to afford 7 when I can't use it past June next year, so no point using it more until then.

    Yeah I went back to Vista as Windows 7 just doesn't like the x38 chipset my shuttle has. EVE seems to prefer Vista also, was choppy on Win 7
