But, honestly, they've never worked right for me. I have been burned by them too many time sin the past, with their sexy mice and keyboards, and then find their installs glitchy, and post-release updates to be spotty at best. I didn't like the feel of their first gamer keyboard, just personal preference since I prefer the Microsoft Natural style, but the feature-set did sway me. I bought it, but once I saw the drivers and software I was disappointed and returned it. A friend kept his, but lamented consistent and unified support for the keyboard and spotty in-game performance of the various 3rd party bits.

I can't confirm that, since I don't use it myself, but IMO Logitech doesn't have a good track record for drivers and smooth, easy-to-use software for their products. The only Logitech product I bought recently was a Quickcam, and again, the Logitech software it included was horrible. I didn't buy it for their 3D avatars, but it's pathetic that the 3D avatars don't use DirectX or OpenGL, and instead use software only rendering. What could have been an amusing an fun "toy" feature is instead rendered (ha-ha) useless by subpar programmers, and it's that level of quality I've seen in everything they release software-side.

Logitech also has a tendency to quickly and completely drop a product line (in favor of a new one) and never look back, meaning no more driver updates.
