Have you tried contacting Logitech and asking if the keyboard is meant
to work with Linux? I know that sounds funny, but I recently called
Logitech asking about a mouse and they told me that the mouse does not
support Linux. I wound up calling Microsoft and their salesman was
very helpful in deciding which mouse to buy. I bought a Microsoft
mouse in the end because the MS salesman said that the mouse would
support Linux but the Logitech salesman said that his company's mouse
would not.

If you don't let them know that us silly Linux users exist, then we
will continue to have terrible hardware support. Here is the Logitech
contact page:
