Is it my iMac or my Logitech wireless keyboard?

[drgrafix]

All of a sudden, after many months of joy using my new iMac with the Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse... everything related to the keyboard and mouse action seems painfully slow. Cutting and pasting is a chore, and sometimes whole lines of text (or pieces thereof) are missing. I type a long word and watch it appear seconds after I've finished.

Thinking it was the internet, I went to DSL Reports and did a speed test, scored 1713KB/s uploads/3942 downloads, and 111ms latency to LA from Mass. Switched to NY and it bumped to 15829 on the download side, but 1588 on the upload and 14ms latency.

I tried using the logitech utility, but nothing happens. Anyone have a clue?

i dont have a logitech, but i do recall reading that the Logitech Control Centre and OS X don't mix very well (i think the app Growl particularly had issues.)

i'll have a look and see if i can find a reference, but maybe someone else here has experienced this issue.

Have you updated to the latest logitech control centre?

I assume you have ruled out weakened batteries and replaced them with fresh ones?

Although I use Steermouse drivers for my Logitech MX Revolution I heard the new version of Logitech Control Center released a few days ago fixed the Growl incompatibilities.

Your problem doesn't sound like a software issue so much as a signal or power problem.
