Logitech T651 under 10.10 - problems

[InquiringMac]

Dear forum members:
________________________________________

2012 mac mini
Logitech Preference Manager 4.0 (LPM)
The problem started right after I upgraded my OS from 10.9.5.
________________________________________

The following gestures listed on the LPM “More Gestures” tab do not work:
• Swipe between full-screen apps: Swipe left or right with 3 fingers
• Mission Control: Swipe up with 3 fingers
• App expose: Swipe down with 3 fingers
• Launchpad: Pinch with thumb and 3 fingers
• Show Desktop: Spread with thumb and 3 fingers
• Notification Center: Swipe left from the right edge with 2 fingers

Any help resolving this annoying issue will be appreciated greatly.

Tell me about bad luck…

I cannot believe I am the only unlucky guy experiencing this, quite annoying, problem, but it sure looks like nobody else has it!

I made a thread just before you. Experiencing connectivity problems and delays with my M510

The issue is not “local” to T651, unfortunately…

Yes, I see the issue is not “local” to T651, unfortunately: other Logitech products are affected as well…

What worries me is that there is no response of any kind neither from forum members here nor from Logitech support , which leads me to believe the issue we are experiencing is extremely rare.

Anybody can help us, please?

Have you checked for updates to LPM - currently at version 4.10.20 (which adds support for Yosemite)?

 

[InquiringMac]

Thank you DeltaMac!

Yes, this is the version I have.

What else could be possibly wrong with my system? Is there anything else I should check, please?

I think you will need to keep watching the Logitech support forums.

The response seems to say that version 4.10 and later is supposed to fix issues. Could be that the newer 4.10.20 fixes something, but leaves other issues unfixed (up to this point)
I've used Logitech devices for at least 15 years, and this kind of software issue is nothing new for Logitech - great hardware - software - not so great.
I wonder if you can replace the "software" that Logitech offers, with one of the third-party pointing device utilities - like SteerMouse, or USB Overdrive.

Thank you DeltaMac!

I have to agree: Logitech hardware is far better than the software they offer… I am very disappointed, quite frankly.
Is this the only avenue for me: just wait for a new version of their soft to come up? Anything I can do proactively, please?

Yes, I already listed other software that you could try, such as SteerMouse, or USB Overdrive.
