Title: Wireless keyboards
Post by: psp83 on Jan 01, 2008, 18:20:05
Hi.

I've got a micosoft wireless laser mouse 5000 and just wondering if i could use any wireless keyboard with the wireless receiver the mouse uses?

I doubt it very much. Another wireless mouse from microsoft, possibly, but anything else I doubt it. The receiver my mouse and keyboard set from MS has the Caps lock/scroll lock/num lock buttons on it so I imagine that the mouse receivers are a slimmed down version.

Probably not. It's unlikely that even a Microsoft keyboard would work. If it was the other way round and you had a MS keyboard, you could probably get a MS mouse.
