How can I get my Digital Media Pro keyboard fully working with Windows 10?

[JohnJSal]

Hi all. I just installed Windows 10, and while it seemed to automatically detect my keyboard (name and all) and it mostly works, there are a few keys that I can't seem to get to work or cutomize.

For example, pressing the Mail key launches the Mail program, but somehow I had it previously set to open Chrome into Gmail. I assume I did this with the software settings.

Also, there is a central section of five shortcut buttons with a "star" button under them. Pressing the star button normally brings up the window to edit these five buttons and what they open, but pushing them now does nothing.

I tried searching for drivers, but I'm not sure anything is compatible with Windows 10 from what I've seen. Is there anything else I can try to get the functionality of these buttons back?

Thanks!

Try downloading this software.

Hopefully it will install and allow you to change keyboard settings.

Thanks! I saw mention of the Mouse and Keyboard Center in some of the research I did, but it sounded like something already installed, although I didn't know how to find it! Maybe it's not pre-installed...

The software wouldn't be pre-installed I don't think. It's only used for Microsoft keyboards and mice. Usually you have to download and install any software that is designed to change the way a keyboard works. Logitech, Microsoft, Razor, Corsair all do this.

Thank you! I will try that.

It seems to have detected my mouse too, since it uses it's actual name (Logitech M500), but I don't know if there is any actual Logitech software installed yet either. Where can I go to find this? I don't see any Logitech entries in the Start menu. I'm not fully used to Windows 10 yet, but I'm thinking maybe it didn't actually install the mouse software, it just knows the name.

Uh oh, any idea what this means? Could my keyboard be too old to even be supported?

If you have the keyboard plugged into a USB 3.0 slot (blue) try and plug it into a USB 2.0 slot (Black) and try again.

Unfortunately, it still shows the same message when I open the program.
