Logitech: OS X’s Achilles heel?

I am the (currently not so proud) owner of a Logitech 250 USB headset that gives my patience a run for its money. Whenever I revive my Mac Book Pro (first generation core duo) and plug the USB headset into one of the USB ports, OS X grinds to a halt.

I’m not the only one who faces this problem. I can attest to the experience in that support discussion: it doesn’t matter in which USB port I plug the headset, or even if it is linked through my cinema display’s USB hub. The only thing I can add is that this happens when my mac book has been asleep.

Last time I complained on this blog about a thing that bugged me on OS X, it got resolved pretty quickly, so here’s hoping for us Logitech 250 owners!

  2. I have another Logitech USB headset, it says A-374A… it used to wor up until now. I even used it before with the same OS, so it went to sleep and there u go… next restart and Leopard 10.5.2 won’t even recognize it anymore… :(

  3. Logitech used to be a good name for keyboards and trackballs in the Mac world. Judging from their apparent total lack of interest in providing OS X drivers for their webcams, I’d suggest steering clear of all their products — who knows how long they’ll be supported?
