Why have my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse suddenly become poky and erratic?

Hi, I'm running a new mac mini (Dec 2014) with 10.10.2 on it. Out of the blue today my Logitech wireless accessories (with unifying receiver) became very sluggish with overall slow response times and at times the mouse is completely unresponsive. It really was working just fine until today. I went out and bought a new mouse to see if that would rectify it - and I still have the same kind of odd mouse behavior.
What's different between today and yesterday? I installed Dropbox and the new Microsoft '16 suite. I can't imagine that those two suites would impact a keyboard and mouse. I even did a refresh of the O.S. Any suggestions?

Thank you for trying to assist me Bob. Here's my EtreCheck output.

PS/2 keyboard and mouse suddenly stop working

This problem only started happening today (it occurred twice). My keyboard and mouse suddenly become unresponsive after a few hours of use, yet everything else seems to be working (video kept playing). I plugged in a USB mouse and it worked fine, so I could reboot.

Sorry, just noticed the problem is already being discussed in another thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43932

I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

HT4111 I have an IPAD updated with iSO 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard and I went to pair the two up and the IPAD shows that the keyboard is paired or connected but when I type using the keyboard it does not transfer to the pad scene.

I have an IPAD updated with iSo 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard.
I went to pair the two up and the IPAD recognizes the keyboard and cites that it is connected.
But I proceed to type the words do not transfer to the screen.
Any suggestions? Techs at Best Buy state that the iSO 7 is not yet compatible with the keyboard manufacturers?
How long before they are?

The BestBuy guys are clueless. I use a Logitech BT Tablet keyboard with my iPad 4 - used it before with iOS 6 and use it now with iOS 7 and it works just fine.
A simply thing to try is to remove the BT pairing, reset your iPad (hold the on/off/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears), then try repairing them. You may have to force the keyboard back into pairing mode (on mine, there is a button on the underside, near the on/off switch, that I would press and hold for second or two to force pairing mode).

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect

I have an RK713A wireless keyboard which will not connect. The mouse is working fine but the keyboard won't. I have tried pressing the blue connect button on the back of the keyboard.

Hi,
There are a couple of quick things to check-
Make sure that the batteries are good (I'd suggest trying a fresh set) and make sure that they are inserted correctly.
Has the keyboard ever worked?
Thanks,

I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (old style, not flat) that will not pair.

Hello.
I own a MBpro, A Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini. I have 2 Apple Wireless Keyboards (the old style with the extended keyboard and transparent case with white keys). Neither keyboard will pair on any system.
The Macs see one of the keyboards just fine but refuse to pair it when I type the 8-digit pass phrase and the return key. Also no luck if I try without a passkey. The other keyboard cannot even be detected by any system.
Is this keyboard design just plain defective? This is the third one (there's also one at work) that refuses to pair. If I have to purchase another one, then this one will end up smashed on Apple's showroom floor. I've about had it with these things.
Please help if you can.

Hello Steve:
I have not had a similar problem so I am fishing a bit. I think the problem is rooted in what I thought in my previous post.
Now, how to fix it?
Try this:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Delete any KB entries there. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist). Be sure that on and discoverable are checked in the BT preference pane. Restart your computer.
Hopefully, whatever KB you have turned on will be "discovered."

If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys. I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

Does the ios7work with Logitech wireless keyboard? It worked until upgraded

Does IOS7 work with the Logitech wireless keyboard. After installing IOS 7 it is not working now

I assume your wireless KB is third-party (as Apple does not make a BT KB with numeric keys). I suggest you contact the manufacturer for guidance.

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that I use with my iPad 2. Does it work with the iPad 3?

I have an Apple wireless keyboard synced to my iPad 2. Can sync this same keyboard be used with my iPad 3? If so, what are the syncing instructions?

Assuming you are talking about the aluminium keyboard the answer is yes. I had some problems trying to get my iPad 2/keyboard combo to 'forget' their connection but one complete the keyboard connected to my iPad 3.

why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered? Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues. Thank you

I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.
