Internet 1500 Laser Cordless Desktop drivers and software
I had installed Windows 7 on a machine today and when I was continuing with the part of installing the drivers of the keyboard-mouse of Logitech I couldn’t find any drivers on the official website. Even worse, the keyboard was not even present on the website while it is maybe just 2 years old.
I also search the internet, but with no result. Since I saw that google returns a lot of search results when trying “Internet 1500 Laser Cordless Desktop drivers” I thought a lot of people had the same problem figuring this out and decided to share this.
So the problem was that the basic functionalities of the keyboard did work but not the extra buttons available both on them. More specific, it is about the Internet 1500 Laser Cordless Desktop keyboard and mouse combo with model number Y-RAS79 (can be found on the bottom of the keyboard).
I successfully got it working by using a setup from another keyboard (Cordless Desktop MX 3000 Laser). You can use directly the following link to download it:

I found your comment because my keyboard was locked in Enhanced Function Keys Mode; therefore all usual Function keys (such as F2 to edit XL formulae) were unactive.
I found a way to reset this by just pressing 2 seconds on the receiver’s connect button.
However, I still don’t know how I got into the EFK Mode. If anybody knows…
BTW, I found how to configure a custom menu with the Home Key (the one with the house but you may use any custom key) to open a variety of frequently used folders with SetPoint; very useful !
I have the same keyboard – Logitech Internet cordless, 1500, M/N Y-RAS79. Used it for couple of years without problems. But suddenly the function keys wouldn’t work Took me a lot of experimenting, but eventually found that the problem occurred after using Hibernation. Only remedy was to to go back to a restore point, before the problem. However, using the link, given above, downloading the software – and overwriting my newer driver – cured the problem. Thanks!
