Some of these mouse/keyboards are weird.  I've used one on FreeBSD in 
the past, and it would work for weeks, and then the mouse or the 
keyboard would stop working even through reboots.  I had to go through 
combinations of resetting the logitech hardware to get it to work 
again.  I found the sequence on Logitech's website, it was something 
like reset all three pieces, unreset the wireless part, then unreset 
the keyboard and mouse.

I'm currently using this mouse/keyboard on a Windows system.  I have to 
unplug and replug the USB connection after the system powers up to get 
Windows to find the mouse, at first it powers up only with the 
keyboard.  100% reproducible.

I have a newer version and don't have any problems.
