MICROSOFT WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

I WAS GIVEN A MICROSOFT WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, WILL IT WORK ON MY PC?

Hi,
Agree with Lewis, the pairs has been done before out of manufacturer.
For Bluetooth connection of wireless keyboard and mouse, we can follow these steps to pair via passkey.

  • Windows 8 USB wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13.3" late 2011 base model running Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion). I am planning on installing the Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit). The requirements state that I need to use a USB keyboard and mouse to get the drivers going once I am in Windows. My question is whether my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, which connect via a USB to my MacBook, will work in Windows 8 with the same functionality so I can run the executable file to download the drivers. Also, as a follow-up question, is Windows 8 Release Preview (64-bit) a safe install for me through Boot Camp?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rith=Apple4Life

    Really? Have you installed Windows 8 onto your Mac because in some videos I have watched, I have seen people not being able to use the built-in keyboard and trackpad until the drivers are installed by using the .exe file. Anyway, for backup, I have secured a wired keyboard and mouse just in case and will be installing Windows 8 soon. It would be nice to download the RTM version, but I wouldn't trust any source other than Microsoft itself.
    Thanks,

  • Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

    I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

    No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse.  They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • My new mac mini doesn't detect my wireless keyboard and mouse from logitech

    I recently bought the Logitech MK550 wireless keyboard and mouse combo for my late 2014 Mac mini.  Basic functions work, however, when I try to add the keyboard and mouse in the System Preferences it can't find either one.  So right now I have this great big keyboard that I can only use about half it's full functionality and an unassigned button on the mouse.  Any ideas?  Also, I would like to add an apple remote to my mini.  I have one from my old iMac.  Is this possible?

    Try resetting the SMC.
    Question #2 - I have no idea.

  • Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse not connecting

    I just bought the Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, but I can't get either to work.  My machine (ThinkPad X230-2324-HQ4) does not have a CD drive for me to use the install CD, so I found and downloaded the driver from your support site:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/​detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77112
    I installed the driver properly and restarted my computer, but neither the keyboard or mouse will connect still.  I've checked the batteries, and I've verified that my ThankPad's Bluetooth drivers are up to date and working properly, but I still can't seem to get it to work.  I've found posts on here from people with similar issues, but they seem to all be related to the Ultraslim, not the Ultraslim Plus.  The Ultraslim Plus does not include a USB dongle for connection.
    Please help!

    The Ultraslim Plus Wireless Kit is Wireless 2.4G solution, it is not Bluetooth solution. It has a dongle when shipping. Maybe you can check the mouse or Keyboard inside and find the dongle. You can open the mouse battery bin, it should be a dongle at top of two batteries. If you still can not find the dongle, I suggest you call the Lenovo help center since you don't have the dongle.

  • Does VM Ware Support Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    I downloaded VM Ware from Apple.com. I got to my Windows XP Home login screen, but I could not move the mouse to login to the XP Computer. I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button because I was, "stuck." Does anyone out there know if VMWare is compatible with the wireless keyboard and mouse? I'm using Leopard and Windows XP Home SP 2.
    Thanks,

  • What's going on with my wireless keyboard and mouse power status?

    My iMac (Nov. 2009) came with the wireless keyboard and mouse. When the original batteries wore out, I started using rechargeable batteries and that has worked fine. This is Energizer recharger, not Apple's. I've used and recharged them for well over a year now. When my batteries are freshly recharged, my iMac tells me I have something like 75% charge.
    Earlier this week I'm being told that the batteries have 100% charge. They've never been 100% charged, even when they were new. I haven't charged the batteries for several weeks either when suddenly I supposedly have 100% charge.
    What's going on?

    This is a change that occurred with the 10.6.7 update. Everyone suddenly has 100% charge when other tools report less. Either it's a bug or they adjusted the scale by which it's measured. Some users report that the percentage starts to decrease after the battery is more depleted.
    There's a widget you can use in dashboard in the mean time. Located here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/mightymonitor.html
    We'll wait and see if this is a bug or intentional.

  • Can a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Wake my MB?

    Hello Everyone,
    I just purchased an external monitor, which I am planning on wall-mounting. While at my desk, I will have my MacBook in a drawer with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse on the desk, in order to create more space. Which brings me to my question.
    If I keep my MacBook in the drawer with the lid closed, will I be able to wake it into clamshell mode with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and / or Bluetooth Mighty Mouse?
    Thanks!

  • One Wireless keyboard and mouse, two computers

    Can I use my wireless keyboard and mouse on both my macs at the same time? I would like to move from one machine to the next if possible.

    If you're talking about Bluetooth keyboards/mice, then no, you can only pair with one computer at a time. See the last item on [this kb article|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/5191.html].
    If you were trying to use a wired keyboard/mouse, then the normal recommendation is to get something called a KVM (keyboard, video, mouse switch.) There is no equivalent to a KVM for Bluetooth.
