Jul 03, 2009 by PeteRobbo | Posted in Other - Hardware

I just bought a new Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse and my laptop does not seem to know s the receiver plugged into the USB port. It s power at the receiver and the receiver knows the keyboard and mouse are there but can not find it on my computer. I installed the software twice.

Not sure, but laptops have built in keyboards and you could see if you can disable the keyboard. Check with the manufacturer of laptop.

I have and old dell computer and I bought a new wireless keyboard and mouse which work great but I found it $25 cheaper for the same one somewhere else so of course I'm returning it. I went to go plug in my old keyboard and mouse that came with the computer and they don't work.

Did you remove the software from the new microsoft keyboard and mouse? After doing this you should restart your pc

New Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse show up in FCC database

by Joachim Bean

We've been hearing a lot about a new mouse from Apple lately, and earlier today images and additional documentation about a new Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (using Bluetooth) showed up in the FCC database. The new keyboard has a model number of A1314, while the mouse has a model number of A1296. The dimensions of the new wireless keyboard are smaller than the current Apple Wireless Keyboard, particularly in the distance between the top and bottom of the keyboard. There are still few details on the new mouse at this point.

i'd rather see them make something like the current shorty wireless keyboard *with* an attached multitouch pad.

the only reason i would ever want the wireless functionality to begin with would be for sitting on the couch. or another situation where lacking wires (implying a need for mobility) would mean i'd want something compact.

the compactness and convenience is lost when i have to bring a whole other device along. maintain 2 sets of batteries. etc etc etc.

that and i don't know how other peoples couches are designed... but mine doesn't have a built-in trackable hard surface on it.

actually... the multitouch trackpads in the unibody MacBook / MacBook Pro *are* glass.

from : http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html

"Without a separate button, the spacious trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface."

...and the caption of the big trackpad picture says it is made out of "wear-resistant etched glass".

probably explains why unlike previous Apple trackpads they don't get that odd rubbery/sticky feeling in the 'high-traffic' areas after 18-24 months of heavy use.
