Question re HP Wireless Elite Keyboard Features

I don't see any "Back" key as found on most keyboards. Why?
What does the "half-moon" marked key on the upper left side of the keyboard do?
Thanks anyone.

Hello barrybear, You might try going to the Control Panel, Devices and Printers, and in the upper menu bar, select add device.
Then see if the device can be found. If so, Windows 7 may install the drivers for it.
Even though the keyboard worked on an earlier system, it may not be compatible with the newer Dell system.
Bluetooth specifications have changed over the years.

  • HP Wireless Elite keyboards (2) not communicating at all.

    My HP wireless elite keyboard (no mouse) worked with my old laptop and another computer, plug and play, even if I didn't install any software.   However, it won't connect with my new ones.    Both the laptop and the other desktop it worked on have since crashed.  Today I tried 2 HP Wireless Elite keyboards on a different laptop and 2 new desktop computers with no success. 
    Plugging in the USB hub, the computer says it loads the driver fine, but no output from the keyboards at all. I've tried:
    Pressing and holding the connect button on the keyboards multiple times.
    I loaded the software and the icon sees that the batteries are full.
    I changed the batteries, anyway, to no avail.
    Checked the control panel. The keyboard is shown in devices and printers and the status shows it's working fine.
    I tried to the update the driver through Device Properties but it says the latest one is already installed.
    I went to the HP site and downloaded new software, anyway, but no luck.
    I've tried the above on 3 different computers. Two have Windows 7 64 bit and one has Windows XP 64 bit.  Same results.  I also have another HP Wireless Elite keyboard bought a few years ago but never opened until today.   It’s showing the exact same symptoms.
    I notice that the blue light on the USB hub only stays on for a few seconds when plugged in (both of them). It doesn't turn on when the connect button is pressed nor when any key is pressed.    I thought this light used to flash all the time, or at least when I was typing, though it was plugged into the back of the computer so I could be wrong about exactly when it came on.  I just remember the blinking used to be distracting at night.
    I hate to have to buy new keyboards when I have two of my favorites right here. They weren’t cheap, either.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was finally able to get the keyboards to work.  Turns out it was the TYPE of battery used.  Duracell copper top, brand new Energizer Ultimate Lithium ($$), and Energizer Industrial did NOT work.  I used the batteries that came with the new keyboard and it works.  They just say Energizer on them, no special titles or adjectives afterward.
    That is incredibly picky.

    Hi, I have a link 5 wireless mouse and a old hp's wireless elite keyboard.  I don't know if they both use bluetooth or one is bluetootha and the other 2.4GHz or not.  But can a link 5 usb key paired with a hp's version 1 wireless keyboard?  If not, how can I get a wireless usb key for my hp wireless eilte keyboard?

    Hello,
    A Link 5 USB mouse can be used with some devices and HP has listed them at the following link:
    HP Link-5technology liberates USB ports
    HP also introduced new PCaccessories with HP’s exclusive Link-5 technology. Link-5 allows users to connect up to fiveHP-compatible PC accessories with one receiver, freeing up valuableUSB ports.
    There are no drivers orsoftware to install. Users simply press the ”Connect” button on aLink-5 device to pair it with their PC. The wireless receiver then“remembers” all paired devices, making Link-5 accessories ideal forthose using a PC in multiple settings such as the home, office orother mobile locations.
    Link-5 delivers reliableconnectivity using 2.4-GHz wireless technology and has anintelligent sleep mode to ensure the longest possible battery life.The latest Link-5 accessories lineup includes:
    HP Wireless Mini Keyboard: Just the right mobile companion fora tablet or entertainment PC, this full-featured keyboard islightweight and ultra-small in size.

    HP Wireless Elite v2 Keyboard: Featuring a sleek, ultra-slimdesign, this keyboard offers superb performance and comfort.
    HP Wireless Optical Comfort Mouse: Offering a comfortable,secure grip for use in the right or left hand, this mouse featuresan optical sensor with adjustable sensitivity that works on mostsurfaces.
    HP Wireless Laser Comfort Mouse: Using a laser sensor withadjustable sensitivity, this mouse delivers optimal performance andworks on most surfaces.

    It is only mention v2 not v1, so not sure if it will work. You should not be able to buy a key, because each device is sold with their specific usb receiver, so the answer is, you cannot get one, except if you buy  a new part.

  • Where can I find a HP Wireless Elite keyboard V2 manual?

    Where can I find a manual for my HP Wireless Elite V2 Keyboard? I have acidentally thrown it away with the box. And I regret that. I looked on the product page to look for it and it said that I had to download Adobe Reader. So I did and it still said that?! I just need the manual, I don't want to buy another one just to get the manual.
    Thank you!

  • Link-5 wireless elite v2 keyboard with really bad reception

    Hi. I bought a Wireless Elite v2 keyboard a week ago, and it has really bad reception. It should have a maximum range of about 10mts, but I can't use it more than 10cm away from the link-5 dongle.
    I have tried everything listed on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00006821&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
    But nothing works. New batteries, no wireless devices near, no things between the receptor and the keyboard, I even tried using it on different houses just to be sure there wasn't anything making interference at home.
    Is the keyboard defective?
    I bought it at Boston, but now I'm on Argentina, I can't just go and get/try a new one...

    Hello,
    Well, sorry to hear that all the tests failed to show any improvement on the situation.
    I would suggest that you try to call HP and to explain the situation, see if they can try to help you to check the issue and maybe exchange the keyboard.

  • HP Link-5 not pairing a Wireless Elite V2 keyboard and a Wireless 3-button Optical Mouse

    I recently purchased a Wireless Classic Desktop Keyboard and Mouse.  However, I didn't like the keyboard and then purchased a Wireless Elite v2 keyboard which is much better.  However, when I plugged in the HP Link-5 receiver, the keyboard worked fine but the mouse isn't getting paired up.  I followed the instructions about placing the mouse near the receiver and pressing the Connect button but still the mouse doesn't respond.  I need to plug in the receiver that came with the original keyboard and mouse  in order for the mouse to work.  However, this uses up another USB port and defeats the purpose of the HP Link-5.  Any suggestions?

    I have asked a number of times for information on these devices, but HP has not answered me.  Can be very frustrating and I hope if enough people pressure them they will at least answer.  We can decide if the answer is any good or not then.  There is absolutely no documentation that I can find, especially with the Link-5 Bluetooth technology.  For instance, the mouse has specific specs about how fast the resonse is to certain movments.  I have asked but nobody seems to know, find out or care.  Which it is, I wonder.
    If they are NOT Link-5 compatable (whatever that means exactly) it apparently won't sync.  It would be nice if they would tell us....  This also may help in the next decision to purchase HP equipment, if this is the kind of simple support they refuse or simply won't give out.

  • Missing USB driver / dongle for HP Wireless Elite Desktop v2

    Hello there, 
      I recently lost my usb driver / dongle for my keyboard and mouse (HP Wireless Elite Desktop V2). I am unable to use both keyboard and mouse. 
     What is the solution for this problem. Can you send me a replacement usb dongle / driver. I sincerely appreciate your help.
    Thanks and regards,
    Samy Pal

    Samy,
    The Elite Desktop v2 uses Link 5 technology but my understanding is there is no individual Dongles available.
    You would have to buy a whole new Mouse, etc, etc. to get a new Dongle.
    You can always contact HP Support directly for your area/country and ask them yourself.

  • How much longer before wireless ThinkPad keyboard?

    How much longer do we have to wait for a wireless ThinkPad keyboard?
    Current ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint is ridiculously priced, considering it's on a wire, while you can buy a very decent wireless keyboard from Logitech for half the price. (I'm referring to the K340, which has quite a decent key-press experience.)
    Seriously, nowadays wireless keyboards are no rocket science, nor expensive to manufacture. Lenovo totally dropped the ball here. Or maybe Lenovo thinks its Lenovo-branded wireless keyboards are reasonable competition for the ThinkPad family? Well, either way, Logitech wins.
    Get your act together!
    Of course I realize I'm most likely talking to a wall. After all this is the company that has just released it's a top-shelf laptop family (X220) that lacks USB 3.0. And in the past - workstations for CG artists and CAD engineers (T61p) with a TN display and a D-Sub port. Also, 16:9 displays (i.e. a ratio useful only in movies) in business laptops.
    Seriously, you need to hire a new person for feature policy. Someone with common sense.

    I second that, third that and fouth that.  Instead Lenovo seems to be heading in the opposite direction w/ the latest USB keyboard dropping the UltraNav and keeping trackpoint only.  
    A wireless UltraNav would be a kick butt wireless accessory which I'd buy in a flat heartbeat.  Just think how useful it would be home theater setups or just in general... as I am having so many issues w/ my USB Ultranav and doc 3.
    My dentist office uses a wireless setup in each patient room and they have a wirelss keyboard and mouse.. you should see them using the mouse sometimes.  A wireless UltraNav is the best of both options! 
    If I could take the keyboard off my W510 and the fingerprint reader and integrate that into a wirelss ultranav.. then there's perfection.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how well (or even if) the "Microsoft Bluetooth 2.0 Elite keyboard + Mouse" work with a bluetooth enabled Mac mini?
    Any info would be great.
    Cheers,
    A.

    Well, I can not answer your question about a mac mini and this particular keyboard/mouse but I can describe my experience with this microsoft combo and iMac G4 with D-Link bluetooth stick (Microsoft bluetooth stick does not work!!!).
    Setup was a breeze - my mac has recognized the mouse and keyboard in an instant, paired with the keyboard and mouse (just asked me to enter the random 6 digit on the keyboard and press Enter).
    Now to usage experiences:
    Mouse: All buttons work as expected, you can program additional functions (like Expose or whatever you like to the extra buttons (They show up as mouse button 3 (wheel click), 4 and 5. Mouse is pretty responsive, maybe a bit too responsive, so I had to move the Sensitivity slider slightly down.
    Keyboard: all the dedicated buttons (Favorities, Messenger, email etc) do not work except for: Volume up/down, mute and Standby (pressing this one gives you standard window with Shutdown/Restart/Sleep options). Scroll wheel works fine (also sideways - on mouse too!!!)
    Shortcomings:
    1. Moving mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard will not wake up the mac from sleep - you'll have to use On switch in the back of your mac.
    2. After waking up it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for mouse and keyboard to connect - after few trials my method to connect is as follows: after 10 to 20 seconds after waking the mac from sleep move the mouse and click (mouse connects) then press any key on the keyboard to connect the keyboard.
    3. When changing users, sometimes I get the dialog "Please press the the key next to the left shift key" (or something like that ) (I guess this is the way system X recognizes what keyboard it has to do with )
    If you can live with whose limitations, this maybe keyboard for you (mine was a gift, so I just got used to it and use Butler for programming the function keys)

  • Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.

    Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.
    I bought this new keyboard from the Ala Moana Store and was surprised to open the sealed box with two Energizer AA batteries inside. I didn't know batteries were supplied. The road clear plastic seal over the battery door was also missing. I am a little suspicious that this was a resealed return item.
    The next thing I am trying to do is get it registered (like all my other apple items) just in case this turns out to be a lemon, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to my other items. There's no category 'Bluetooth' or 'Keyboard' in the equipment selection list.
    So here's my question, did I get a used item that was resealed and put on the shop shelf? Someone else paid for this so it isn't showing up on my list of items. I would like to add it.
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Hello Mik:
    You cannot register a KB.  Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
    I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries....  I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.
