If you actually pass through your keyboard and your mouse, you’ll be stuck in the guest and you’ll have to shut it down (or worse, reboot your physical machine). You can still ungrab with the keyboard (ctrl-cmd I believe is the shortcut?). The dangerous part here is that once you pass through the mouse, it is actually disconnected from the host, so you won’t be able to ungrab from the guest just by mousing out of the Fusion window. Then, you’ll notice that your main mouse and keyboard (if they are USB) are available to pass through into the guest via the USB devices menu. If you’re feeling really adventurous and/or desperate, you can take out the line and add this option instead: vmx file:Īn explanation of what this does, by a VMware associate, can be found in the thread at The solution given (which did not work for me) is to:įirst add the following line to the virtual machine’s. vmx file:įrom what I can tell, this setting allows me to use the Forward and Back buttons on the mouse, but does not make the mouse detectable by SetPoint.

#LOGITECH SETPOINT NO MOUSE TAB INSTALL#
This is the solution that I’m implementing now, and it is what I would recommend, provided you have rights to install software on the host. Installing it on the host seems to make all of the functionality available in the guest.
#LOGITECH SETPOINT NO MOUSE TAB WINDOWS#
Thankfully, it seems that, at least in the case of a Windows host and a Windows guest, installing SetPoint inside the virtual machine is not necessary.
#LOGITECH SETPOINT NO MOUSE TAB HOW TO#
The question of how to obtain SetPoint functionality in virtual machines is one that has been asked many, many times before, without a satisfactory answer. SetPoint, then, doesn’t detect any Logitech hardware that it can configure. VMware seems to treat USB mice connected to the host as PS/2 devices in the guest.
It is missing the My Mouse tab (and if a keyboard were installed, I presume it would be missing the Keyboard tab, too).Īfter some Googling around, it appears to be a due to the way VMware approximates the physical mouse. (Different Windows logo on the keyboard too.) The packaging still says K400 however, the sticker under the keyboard indicates it is a K400r.SetPoint Settings in an XP virtual machineĪs shown in the screenshot, the SetPoint Settings utility displays only the Tools tab. The K400r touchpad is designed for Windows 8, otherwise, it’s the same as before. On a side note, the K400r is the new version of the K400. All I know, is it works now and I can control the settings for both keyboard and touchpad. I guess the keyboard cannot be connected prior to the installation of SetPoint? I can care less to investigate the true cause. WTF, right? SO again, Binged around a bit and found another solution: Okay…I now have a “Keyboard” tab, but no “Mouse” tab. Use the Unifying Software (included with SetPoint) to un-pair and re-pair the K400r. Why were my features missing? I did a little research and found a quick solution.
#LOGITECH SETPOINT NO MOUSE TAB MANUAL#
Having not used SetPoint in ever, I kept looking at images from the Logitech Manual and the installed program on my computer. Once launched, I discovered that the “Keyboard” and “Mouse” tabs were both missing. (I installed on a Dell Latitude E6530 running Windows 8.1) I installed SetPoint and rebooted the computer.
#LOGITECH SETPOINT NO MOUSE TAB FULL#
No software was included with the K400r however, located it easily at Logitech’s website and downloaded the full installer. Next I decided to try SetPoint so I can control the settings on the device such as Hot Keys, mouse tapping and gesture features, and programmable buttons. Windows detects as expected and “ta-da”…keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works automatically once powered on and paired with the USB receiver. This was why I bought the thing and it works great with Raspbian. The perfect keyboard for lounging on the couch and controlling my Raspberry Pi on the big screen. Small, wireless keyboard with attached touchpad.
