Yes. I've fought this battle with Logitech wireless devices for years since I upgraded to a 15" MacBook Pro with retina (USB 3 only, no USB 2) and added a USB 3.0 hub. It's impossi…

I've had problems with 2 of the 4 Fitbit devices me and my wife have owned. Her Flex was intermittently powering off. I contacted support and they sent a new one within days. My cu…
