Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard and Microsoft Officde

Just purchased the above keyboard to use on my new T61 running Vista Business 64. Soon discovered that the assignable keys (Rapid Access) wouldn't open Microsoft Office programs (even though two were by default assingned to spreadsheet and word processor. A complicated conversation with tech support concluded with my being told that that was "as planned" -- the the keyboard software was configured to NOT run with Microsoft Office. Not only am I unhappy that I wasted $39. but I'm astonished that folks at Thinkpad actually let this go through. This all assumes that the person I spoke to at Support was telling the truth; if not, I'm even less happy.

Actually you can assign the keys, I finally figured it out myself after lots of searching and I also had no results from Tec Support, it has only taken two years!! 
Anyway, I put the disk that came with the keyboard and mouse in my computer and did not run it. I went to "my computer" and looked to see if there is a manual on it.
Go to the DRIVERS folder, XP folder, KEYBOARD folder, then click on the Readme.txt file, it will give you instructions.
I assumed because the mouse and keyboard worked I did not need to install any software, WRONG.
Good luck, I hope this helps.

  • Lenovo Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard - Qualitätsproblem oder .....?

    Ich habe mir letzte Woche bei einem Händler in einem namhaften Onlineauktionhaus eine SK-8815 (Lenovo Enhanced Performance USB, PN: 41A4975) im deutschen Tastaturlayout als originalverpackte Neuware gekauft. Als die Lieferung vorgestern hier ankam, musste ich feststellen, dass es an der Qualität der Tastatur ziemlich hapert: die Tasten zur Steuerung des Musikplayers oben links sitzen extrem lose.Was aber noch viel mehr auffällt, ist die Beschriftung der Tastatur - diese ist ziemlich schief aufgebracht und auch unterschiedlich hell.Ich habe mal versucht zumindest die Positionierung der Aufdrucke mit der Kamera meines Smartphones einzufangen:Am meisten fällt es beim 'Ö' und den anderen Umlauten auf, die horizontal und vertikal ziemlich aus der Reihe fallen. Ich habe auch einmal die Seriennummer der Tastatur hier überprüft:Lenovo - Garantiestatus überprüfenwobei mir gemeldet wurde, dass nichts zu vermelden sei 'Kein Ergebnis - Bitte prüfen und erneut versuchen'. Ist nun einfach nur die Qualität relativ mau oder bin ich möglicherweise einer Produktfälschung aufgesessen? Sofern es ein gefälschtes Produkt ist, ist anerkennenswert, dass es einwandfrei mit der Konfigurationssoftware für das EnhancedPerformance Keyobard von der Lenovo-Homepage zusammenarbeitet.  

    I have 2 long  .LOG files.
    If need I will upload them.

  • Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard & Windows Vista

    FYI..  the software/driver pak for Vista is still not windows certfied, doesn't always work and often generates errors when you attempt to use even the simplest keys. 
    Will Lenovo bring out a Windows Certified Driver / Software package any time soon?
    Cheers,

  • Enhanced Performance Wireless Keyboard

    I got recently an Enhanced Performance Wireless Keyboard and Mouse with plan to use it with my new ThinkPad W500. Mouse works without problems.
    However the keyboard works properly when Language for non-Unicode programs is set to US English. When language changed to Arabic, keyboard loses characters, freezes for several seconds, etc. I tried it with W500 with Vista Business SP1, T41p with XP SP3, and - more interesting - with Dell Latitude D420 with XP SP3. On all those laptops I got identical results. With keyboard language set to Arabic, the Arabic characters do show when typing in Word or Notepad.
    However, when connected to my desktop (DELL Optiplex GX520, XP SP3) the keyboard works correctly with US English and Arabic selected as non-Unicode locale.
    Keyboard P/N is 41A5219, S/N 00012663.
    Tried other wireless keyboard/mouse set (Genius TwinTouch LuxeMate Pro) - it works OK on T41p language independent.

    We purchased 10 ThinkPads with the same keyboard and mouse, the keyboard is a bit slow, but the mouse is absolutely horrible, the choppy motion and falling asleep all the time is killing productivity.  Has anyone had any success with the fix for this?  need help ASAP.

  • Why don't my Apple USB keyboard and mouse work in Win XP after bootcamp driver installed

    Hey there,
    I just installed Win XP Pro + SP2 using Bootcamp 3.0 on my Mac Pro 1.1 (2006) which is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  The Win XP installation went flawlessly and everything seemed to be working OK (mouse & keyboard were fine) until I installed the Bootcamp drivers from my OS X installation DVD.  The installation didn't report any problems, but when it was finished, the keyboard (Apple USB keyboard) and mouse (Logitech USB mouse) stopped responding.  No power to the mouse at all makes me believe that it is actually the USB drivers themselves that have failed.  Rebooting WinXP didn't solve the problem - it boots WinXP just fine (and fast!), shows the Bootcamp Help screen, but no mouse or keyboard, a.k.a., USB, response.
    Can I recover from this somehow?
    Help please?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Problem solved.
    It seems that the boot camp 3.0 drivers installed from my 10.6.8 DVD weren't sufficient.  I repeated the install from scratch, but rather than rebooting as soon as the BC 3.0 drivers were installed, I allowed the Apple Update utility to D/L and install the BC 3.1 and 3.2 updates.  Viola!  Everything works brilliantly.  My Mac Pro is now the best Windows PC I have ever owned

  • Using USB Keyboard and Mouse with S6000-f Ideatab

    First you need a Microusb to USB adaptor pluged in, then plug in a usb hub I'm using a 4 port unpowered mini hub
    then plug in a usb keyboaed and mouse.  
    it works good in Kingsoft office and AndrOpen office or any app that needs you to type
    it does disable the touch pad keyboard, until you unplug the usb keyboard.  It's alot cheaper than a blue tooth keyboard
    I'm using a Samsung micro usb to usb connector model EPL-AU10WEGXAR
    Keyboards tested:  Dynex usb and Acer usb
    Mouse tested: Kingston usb
    Any usb keyboard and Mouse should work. 
    Also I tested a Thumb drive. Sandisk 8gig  it shows up in the file manager .
    So you dont have to use a MicoSD card.  The one thing  back up and restore only uses the MicroSD card slot.
    I havent found out how to change that yet. 
    I dont think any of this is in the Manual   I just like to share useful Info.

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • Deploying USB Enhanced Performance [Wired] Keyboard settings

    Hi. Is there any way to deploy the settings of the USB Enhanced Performance Keyboard settings so that all computers with the keyboard get the default settigs? Got 500+ computers to deploy.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    there is no easy solution however this might be worth trying sincle I see it as feasible and maybe you can even use Migration Assistant if you do not have any other tool (I'm not expert on Migration Assistant).
    1. Manually export the registry settings from the current user.
    2. Change “HKEY_CURRENT_USER” to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”, in the exported registry file.
    3. Remove any reference to “\users\username”.
    4. Then, import the you modified registry file to another machine.
    SEE ATTACHAED FILE PLS.
    Let me know if this is sufficient and it helps.

  • Very slow USB keyboard and mouse when performing scp copy

    Hello,
    As the title says, my Mac becomes very unresponsive when I copy large file via scp command. Keboard seems to read only a few letters than it "sleeps" acceptin a letter every ~2s, mouse moves "by hops" over the screen.
    The scp seems to use available bandwith (~300kB/s), so seems ok. The CPU is 95% idle, so again seems OK. Disk is mostly idle.
    My system configuration:
    - Mac mini 5,1
    - Lion
    - USB keyboard + mouse (combo)
    What else can I check to solve the problem? I need to use ssh/scp.
    Update: Just when writing the post I got an idea to test Bluetooth keyboar+mouse. The result is that Bluetooth imput devices works without degradation, whilst at the same time the USB devices gets slow. I have tested the pendrive read/write and it is also affected by the SCP command. Any ideas why SCP over WiFi degrade USB operations? Is there any USB monitoring tool/command?
    I do not want to stick with the crappy standard Bluetooth keyboard when I have a split ergonomic USB keyboard. Anyway, I was looking for a good ergonimic Bluetooth keyboard but was unsuccessful. However the exclusive, either scp either USB at a time, copy operation is also a hindrance.
    Thanks in advance!

    Found the root cause of the problem - dying battery in my wireless keyboard. Why it degraded in operation under such condition, with SCP running, and not otherwise is a great mystery but a few days later it started to degrade all the time.

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.

  • I am using a USB keyboard and everytime I wake the iMac from sleep the keyboard will not respond unless I unplug and replug the keyboard. I am using a mid-2010 iMac with OSX 10.6. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
    It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
    Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
    I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
    My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

  • Is there a way to use an adapter to connect my ipad to a USB keyboard and to an ACDC for power

    I have a tablet keyboard with a male USB plug attached to it and it came with an adapter with a female USB on one end and a mini male USB on the other end. I was wondering if there is a way to use that keyboard with my iPad and iPod? There are adapters that plug into laptops and pc's that you can plug keyboards and mice into. Will it work if I plug the iPod or iPad  into one and the keyboard into one and then plug one into the ACDC power adapter (since I am sure the keyboard will drain the battery quicker). I am so tired of the iPad keyboard always hiding what I am trying to type.

    As far as I know, there isn't any support for USB keyboards. THe iPad is designed to work with blue tooth ones.
    That power issue that you state is why it likley won't work. An update in 2011 reduced the amount of power allocated to the charging port and I don't think it's capable of outputting enough to run a keyboard.
