Thanks for the come back Tom. I purchased the 710 from the Logitech company just before Christmas. I had to ship it back since I couldn't get it to work. But since you recommended it, I'll try and find the Logitech 510 to give it a test as well. Thanks once again. Ron and four pawed gamer Leader Dog Boz.
