What a surprise!!  Of course for years now I have avoided buying anything at 
all with this brand.  I also avoided Logitech for the same reason although I 
see they now grugingly at least admit Linux exists!  I wonder if my complaint 
a week for two years had anything to do with it?!!

KInfoCenter (a GUI ninterface) will read and display the actual manufacturer 
of the device and from there you can see if a driver exists.  MickeySoft 
doesn't make anything, they just take it and stick their name on it.  I think 
you'll find it IS indeed a Logitech and so drivers do now exist.
