So I have a lowly Logitech K270 keyboard, but it has some hotkeys across the top.  I can't get them to work.  Does anybody have any idea how this might be possible.

 

I did install the Logitech PS2 driver, but that didn't change anything except that the device manager now reports the drivers are Logitech instead of Microsoft.

 

Thanks,

Plug it in to a controller that is passed through to the VM?

Yeah, but than I lose my evdev capabilities 😒

 

I never worried about it before, I probably shouldn't start now.  It's just that the sleep button up there seems awful appealing to use now.

So the simplest solution to solve my issue was to install two Logitech "unifying receivers."  One is for the keyboard and is plugged into the VM USB controller.  The other is for the mouse and is plugged into the unRAID USB controller and is passed through to the VM using evdev.  This way the keyboard works inside Win10 as usual with all the hot keys, and the mouse can be used to wake the Win10 VM from sleep because of the evdev passthrough.  

 

...added benefit was a good excuse to upgrade and buy a Logitech K800 keyboard

 

Best,
