Which solaar version are you running? Have you checked if you have the latest firmware? You can update it using |
|
Well I updated the firmware, yet nothing changed.
|
|
@kgorol Please, can you provide output of 'solaar -dd show' ? |
|
@doctor64 of course, there is log from both commands https://gist.github.com/kgorol/d06fed7c5f6c60c25ac727e98a385615 As you see in log I am using version 1.0.1 |
|
@kgorol It's really strange. Please, can you, just for test, unpair mouse from receiver, and perform |
|
@kgorol Just noticed - look's like Logitech continue to re-use model numbers. Your K800 have Wireless PID 406E and protocol HID++ 4.5 accordingly to your logs, but @rathann K800 and definition in solaar sources have wpid 2010 and protocol 1.0. We can try to modify sources to add support, but I need your help because I don't have access to hardware. |
|
@doctor64 below is the output after unpairing the mouse :) Of course I will try to help as much as I can. |
|
@kgorol Can you locate your Solaar installation and modify file _D('Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 new', protocol=4.5, wpid='406E',
settings=[
],
)Or, if you prefer, just check out updated version from my github fork - create directory somewhere and execute Stop running Solaar Gui if present, and execute from checked out directory |
|
@doctor64 guess your changes are working :) https://gist.github.com/kgorol/e366a4058dd0897b5108645433d2e80b |
|
@kgorol Excellent! I already fixed code name output, now in should be "K800 new". |

@kgorol Do you test Swap Fx function? Does it works? Never used it but expect what it should do something like Fn lock, so F1-F12 keys will work as multimedia keys. You can test it using |
|
@doctor64 Can you open a PR once the code is ready to commit? |
|
@rathann Of course, I just wish to be sure what auto-detected features works and add features to |
|
@doctor64 swap fx function works as you described. |
|
@kgorol Can you please test latest version from my repo what your keyboard working and report battery status and swap fx function work? Last changes are trivial, but i wish to be 100% sure i not broke something. |
|
@doctor64 everything works as in previous version. |

Hi, I just wanted to say that I have the exact same issue with the same PID and HID as kgorol. I didn't try your workaround but it would probably work I guess. |
|
Hi, |
I just did it too (just because I can, lol). It works but it would be cool if it could be fixed officially so that it can be updated via distro repo. |
|
I also have this issue from time to time on my K750 - where the battery percentage is not available. I don't have it with me, currently, to verify if it's the same issue with the wrong reference PID. Curious where testing stalled out since it looked like a pull was nearly ready to be sent? |
|
@dfht684 I doubt what your problem with K750 related to this. WPID is fixed thing, it's a id of hardware, so I'm don't thing it can change from time to time. Please, if you have this problem, open separate issue and provide logs (output of solaar -dd show). |
|
No worries @doctor64 , I was more curious (not demanding) if the fix you supplied to kgorol would help with my issue. I only thought it might be the same as the symptoms sound the same. It could also just be some hardware thing since I find that the battery/connection wipes when I turn off my K750. But, if it's the same root cause, then a release will help me too! |
|
Take your time with it @doctor64. You provided us with a workaround so for the time being, its no big deal. |
|
@Rorschach1010 Thank you. |
Thanks for your reply @doctor64. I understand now. Not sure how helpful Logitech is with things like this and its not really that important (to me) but we can certainly request it if there is more demand for it. |
I am using the newest Manjaro x64.
