Re: [PLUG] Gnome/KDE recommendations for wireless kbd/mouse


Over the years, I have had several Logitech wireless keyboards and
mice, at home and at work.  They have always worked flawlessly with
Linux (and with Windows too, on those occasional times when I was
unable to avoid it).  Unfortunately, yes, they come with extra,
useless, keys that avoidably take up space.
