Logitech MX 5500 Wont Work
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466806
The bug 444420 solution is what actually broke it for most of us. I started researching this after someone mentioned that their Logitech diNovo keyboard failed to work in 10.04. I thought that was really strange when it seems to be totally OS independent (it works for my BIOS password before any OS boots). So I tried a 10.04 LTS live CD and my diNovo Edge did not work.
I did stumble on bug 444420, but that has a solution of changing hidraw* (which worked for me in 9.10) to hiddev* (which does not work for me, and is the default for 10.04).
So one solution is to change hiddev* back to hidraw* in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules. But maybe Linux does not need even need to pay attention to it at all, because another solution is to simply comment out that section as follows.
Code:
# Logitech devices
#KERNEL=="hiddev*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \
# RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"
