Microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.1 and mouse
Can one mix and match different key board and mouse with a different receiver. Original has been lost. If so how does one align the frequencies so all parts are recognized.
You can easily get the original receiver in ebay.

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000/8000 Trackpad
Hey guys,
Has anybody successfully got the trackpad built into the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000/8000 to work with OSX?
Is there a program that can remap the keyboard/ trick OSX into thinking it's a form of input device similar to a mouse/ trackpad?
Appreciate it!Since trackpads are basically mice that have been redesigned to work with the finger for input, you might initially try to see if your Keyboard and Mouse System Preference can control it. If not, Steer Mouse and USB Overdrive both may be able to access it. If neither can, Microsoft makes Intellimouse drivers that may work with their product. Just verify they are compatible with your second point version of your operating system, as I mentioned about the keyboard here:

Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard
I just installed my new iMac core duo. I am trying to configure my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop and the software will not work. It worked fine on my Mac Mini running 10.4.4. It seems to install fine, but under system preferences when I click on the Microsoft Keyboard option, it says you cannot open microsoft keyboard preferences on this computer. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
KenPreference panes will not work unless they are written for Intel Macs Your only option right now is to wait for Microsfot to write new drivers.

Keyboard, power button and mouse pad not responding!
I was just using it normally and all of a sudden the screen is frozen, keyboard isn't responding and nor is it he power button or mouse pad! Please help! I bought this MacBook in December 2012.
Try holding down the power button for several seconds to see if it shuts the machine off, then reboot. If the problem is solved, great. If not, try resetting the SMC. Use the procedure for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

In a rare lapse of brand loyalty, I bought the "Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000": "Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 1.0A" and "M$ Wireless Laser Mouse 6000." ("list price" $99, but after sale price and rebate, it would be just $25) After installing the drivers on the enclosed CD, I surfed around a bit and was reasonably satisfied. I noticed that a few key combos didn't do what I expected, but some stuff said it ws possible to remap key combos.
Then I tried typing something! Everything -- even the delete key came out as "a"s!!
OK, I figured there must be a new improved driver out there on the M$ site, and dowqnloaded and installed that.
Rats! It's still typing only "a"s.
Anyone out there using this product without problems?? Any helpful suggestions??
FP 1.25 GHz G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)I've been using a MSoft wireless Mac keyboard/mouse with Apple keyboard layout with no problems on my Mac mini. A standard MSoft wireless keyboard/mouse from my PC also worked with no problems except for the lack of Apple specific keys.
It's a good idea to have a wired USB keyboard/mouse available for use when doing system modifications. -
I need the usb transmitte​r for an HP Wireless Jeyboard and Mouse
I bought a Hp Pavilion Slimline new a few years ago and it came with a wireless keyboard (modelKG-0851) and Mouse(model MG-0856) . I've lost the usb transmitter. Can I buy just the transmitter from HP or antwhere else?
Hello James65,
Im sorry but a wireless dongle is tied to the keyboard/mouse it came with at the factory and cannot be interchanged.
So, there is not a another usb transmitter to replace it with. -
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.

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp
The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Click the Driver tab.
6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
9. Select "Include this location this search".
10. Click Browse.
11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
12. Once the update is done, reboot.
Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
5. Click the Devices Tab.
6. Click the "Add"button.
7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
Have fun!Here's what apple recommends:

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=Apple4LifeReally? 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,

Why have my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse suddenly become poky and erratic?
Hi, I'm running a new mac mini (Dec 2014) with 10.10.2 on it. Out of the blue today my Logitech wireless accessories (with unifying receiver) became very sluggish with overall slow response times and at times the mouse is completely unresponsive. It really was working just fine until today. I went out and bought a new mouse to see if that would rectify it - and I still have the same kind of odd mouse behavior.
What's different between today and yesterday? I installed Dropbox and the new Microsoft '16 suite. I can't imagine that those two suites would impact a keyboard and mouse. I even did a refresh of the O.S. Any suggestions?Thank you for trying to assist me Bob. Here's my EtreCheck output.

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.

How about my microsoft keyboard and mouse?
I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse that have the extra buttons, like media controls, volume controls, the F-keys that are also shortcuts like undo & redo & new& open & such and I was wondering if those will work with my MacBook Pro that I am going to buy sometime soon. Like will Microsoft come out with a driver, does Apple supply one, will it just work?
I didn't look hard, but I couldn't find one post already about this, so I thought I might ask the question. I'm hoping that it will work, because I like my keyboard and mouse, but I'm thinking that it probably won't work as anything but a keyboard (the media control keys won't work and such)I have a older wireless Microsoft keyboard/mouse at work (can't remember the model) and it is connected to a KVM with a Windows machine and various Macs. The volume controls works and I use F12 for the CD eject, which is a standard Apple keyboard command. Haven't tried the other keys on the Mac side mainly because I don't have a need for them. If they do work I'll post back.

1 GHz Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) -
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. -
