Logitech LX710 Keyboard - Opening Drive Door OSX

I purchased the Logitech LX710 Keyboard and mouse for my Mac Pro and I really like it - but - I noticed that I have no method of opening the CD-DVD drive from my new keyboard. Logitech does not seem to have an OSX compatible control center available for download.

I searched for a keyboard combination that would force the CD-DVD drive door open/closed but I cannot find any.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Download the utility TinkerTool (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) Open it and click on the Applications icon in the toolbar. At the bottom is an option to place an Eject button in the menubar.

Contact Logitech about the problem because it is their keyboard and they are the ones who you should deal with for tech support.

Today, I visited a genius bar and called AppleCare with the question: "How do I open an empty Optical Tray using a keyboard with no "Eject" key?" Neither could help me. However, AppleCare suggested I consult the discussion groups. Good thinking!

Thanks to the discussion group for the F12 key solution to my problem.

It would be nice if the "Eject" command in the Finder>File menu would work even if the tray is empty.
