TA25134 Japanese USB keyboard supported?

Just to be clear, I'm not asking about Japanese input or IME. I want to know if Japanese USB keyboards can be used (with the kana / romaji / kanji keys, etc) with Windows 7 and boot camp 2.0. So far I have not been able to use it properly. The "@" symbol (to the right of "P") does not register, and the alphabet switcher (where "~" is on a US keyboard) registers as a backtick ( ` ).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nevermind, I found the answer here:

  • K7N420 pro usb keyboard support

    I can not set some of the settings in the bios namely the usb keyboard support, when I try to set it comes up with a blank choice list and I can not get out of it. I am forced to reboot. I had flashed the bios to get support for my XP 2000+ but the system has been staple for months since I flashed the bios. I just tried V2.8 bios with no luck. The keyboard works fine in windows on usb

    the option is in the bios but when I try and set it, i get a blank list and the screen locks up. I am forced to reboot

  • Win 7 won't recognize Japanese Apple Keyboard

    Hi
    I have installed Windows 7 on my iMac using Bootcamp. As I frequently type in Japanese in my Mac environment I have an Apple Japanese USB Keyboard attached. Windows 7 only recognizes it as a Apple US keyboard. Does anyone know how to change? I have enabled Japanese keyboard in the Win7 language section but there is no choice for an Apple Japanese Keyboard. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I think there is somebody who created a Mac Japanese keyboard layout that you can install in Windows for this purpose, but I can't seem to find the reference any more....

  • USB Keyboard BIOS Setting

    I've just installed a K7/N420 Pro Board, but i cannot get the BIOS to recognise my USB keyboard.  In the BIOS this setting is greyed out?
    Can anyone help?  All other settings are working as expected, including my other USB devices.

    Hi,
    USB keyboard support is avaible only till bios version 2.2.
    So you have to flash it if you're still with v2.0
    But if you can, I would recommend using PS/2 because it's less critical than flashing bios on this motherboard.
    Hope it helps.

  • X220: external USB keyboard not detected in BIOS

    Hi!
    I use an external USB keyboard attached to the port replicator of my X220. When Windows is booted the keyboard works without any problems. But I cannot use the keyboard pre-boot, e.g. to enter the HDD password after starting up, to configure the BIOS, etc.
    I tried all USB ports both of the port replicator and the X220. The keyboard is still not detected by the BIOS (Version 1.20) and there are no BIOS options to enable "USB keyboard support".
    Has anyone experienced similar problems? Are there any solutions to get the keyboard detected by the BIOS?
    Thank you for your support!

  • Japanese USBthin keyboard under Vista64

    Hi,
    I have a 2007 MP with the thin USB keyboard. I am trying to follow the article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2587 to configure a localised keyboard layout. However, when loading the existing keyboard drivers, there is no "Japanese (Apple)" in the list. I get other languages whith the "(Apple)" moniker which should tell me that the Apple Keyboard Driver was installed correctly. I am using latest Boot Camp drivers which updated my original 2.0.1 drivers. Since the Japanese keyboard incorporates a few more keys as other layouts, I can't use the default keyboard options, the MS Keyboard Layout Creator provides, in order to manually create my own set.
    Any help would be welcome.
    Sincerely,
    M

    Thanks for caring

  • NO USB Keyboard or mouse work

    This morning I booted over into Windows XP and plugged in both a usb mouse and keyboard and had no response with either. I rebooted with no avail. no wired or wirless mouse works. Any suggestions?

    I am also having USB issues, but mine are with the printer. When I went to install the Windows 7 64-bit drivers that I downloaded from the manufacturer it told me:
    USB Drivers
    This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The installation cannot continue until this is resolved.
    Required Action: Click Cancel to exit this software installation. In order to install this device as a USB Device, please refer to your computer documentation or USB add-in card documentation for more information about USB drivers.

    I dont know anything about how to access the BIOS on an Apple, but I did on a PC. I have not tried printing anything of of here since the only drivers I have for the printer installed are the ones that came with Windows when the thng shows in the system try telling you that Windows found something new and starts installing drivers.

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

    Hi All,
    I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
    I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
    This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
    I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
    Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
    Thank You,
    --Martin

    Hello nikkig00,
    It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect.  I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
    If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below.  Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
    9. Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

  • After upgrading to 10.8.3 my Apple USB keyboard stops working after about 3 hours

    Mac Pro 3,1
    OS X 10.8.3 Server
    32GB RAM
    Apple USB Keyboard works fine after reboot (typing on it now), stops responding after about 3 hours.
    I see nothing in Console that looks like the culprit. Here is everything around the last time it happened - between 11:28 and 11:30 they keyboard just stopped working. Unplugging and re-plugging doesn't bring it back. Changing USB ports doesn't bring it back. Rebooting is the only thing that seems to work. Bluetooth keyboard works before and after.

    Everything worked fine in 10.8.2.

    Hey Doug,
    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your keyboard backlight is not working upon startup, the following may resolve your issue:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:
    Lights
    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
    You may also want to reset your computer's PRAM:

    Note: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • Lenovo USB keyboard - Trackpoint/Touchpas not working

    I am now experiencing the same problem in Win7 as I barely got away with in Vista.
    The problem is as follows:
    - I have the Lenovo USB keyboard with built in Trackpoint and Touchpad (wonderful).
    - When I installed this keyboard in Vista it worked out of the box, but in Windows Update I got a recommended update for newer/better drivers.
    - When I installed this driver, the Trackpoint and Touchpad stoppet working - so I had to restore my system and hide these updates in Windows Update.
    - So when I install Win7 RTM these drivers seems to install with the system, and therefore the Trackpoint and Touchpad on my external keyboerd does NOT work out of the box. I do not get any updates for this either.
    Tried solutions:
    - I have tried to install the keyboerd drivers.
    - The driver with Hotkeys installs alright, but does not solve the problem.
    - The regular keyboard driver will not install, because it says that I there is a newer Synaptics-driver which has to be removed first.
    - Well, there are no installed Synaptics-drivers to be removed - probably because these drivers are installed with the system.
    - I have also tried to diable the PS/2 driver etc. but nothing works.
    --> So, I am actually stuck with my wonderful external Lenovo USB keyboard without being able to use the Trackpoint or Touchpad. The worst although is that I know whats making the problem, but do not know how to solve it...
    Can anybode please help, I cannot believe I am the only one having this problem (in Vista or in Win7).
    Henrik
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav. I am not sure if it is the same as yours. But I have used the following two drivers (for Vista) and the keyboard has been working fine under Vista. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7. The vista driver seems still working fine.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66917
    One issue I found is that I cannot run the setup.exe to get the keyboard driver installed, it will claim something like OS specific program not found. But if you go inside the folder to find dpinst.exe, run it and you are good to go.
    And this link for all possible drivers.

  • Spurious Charcters on Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint

    I suspect the Thinkpad W540 can not accept the current driver from the Lenovo support site (tp_compact_keyboard_1491.exe) as the version of the HID driver remains 6.17602.27514 and is a 2006 Microsoft driver). What is worse is, attempting to type on it in any normal speed for a touch typist results in bad keystroke recognition and has the window lose focus, selecting menu items, or the most annoying, selecting previously typed data that gets deleted as soon as you type the next character. It has happened 3 times just typing this note. I can't find a way to disable the driver associated with the keyboard on the Thinkpad (uninstalling it doesn't work) and I'm assuming with two drivers installed, they collide somehow causing the bad interpretation.  Or, the USB ports on the W540 aren't compabile with the keyboard.  I doubt the latter as I had problems with a Bluetooth version of the same keyboard.
    Lenovo doesn't appear to recognize its own keyboard based on 03X8715 fru but sometimes finds references to KU-1255 model when searching for drivers.  I've opened 2 tickets with Lenovo but all they do is delete the drivers and reboot to get them to reinstall.  I think these keyboards are not compatible with the W540 (though sailes said they were), and until a better driver is developed they are useless.
    Because the W540 rearranged the Thinkpad keyboard puttng the PrtScr at the bottom and the delete key where the insert key was... I wanted to have the same keyboard on my other computers so I could get used to the new layout. Now that seems impossible unless and until Lenovo fixes the driver so the keyboard misinterpretation can be remedied.  Is there no solution to allow me to get used to the new Thinkpad keyboard layout by using a similarly laid out external keyboard on multiple computers?  Switching between W540, W520, W510 seems impossible at this point. Though I'd like to use a KVM for switching I don't want to introduce that until I can get the external usb keyboard working with the direct connection to the W540.
    It is also frustrating that the driver download only results in a setup.exe being run with no listing of the drivers that should be installed so it is impossible to tell if the 2006 Microsoft drivers are what were in the Dec 14, 2014 driver update, and it is also impossible to force Windows to pick the drivers from the install directory as they are encapsulated in the setup.exe.  At least knowing what version should be listed and the names of the driver files might help troubleshoot if indeed they correct drivers are not getting installed.

    Yes, i realize it could be confusing for some to have two ways of accessing the same keys.
    The issue i have with the thinkpad layout is that the keys are split apart - i like having page up/down and home/end clustered together for navigating - with the thinkpad layout, half the keys are in the lower half of the keyboard, and the other half in the top.
    Also, since arrow keys are also often used for navigating, it makes sense to me to keep them together - for example, "go to the end of the line and select the last word" can be accomplished without moving the right hand from the arrow keys, and the left hand using Shift/Fn/Control

  • USB Keyboard w/UltraNav Not Installing? 02R0400

    I currently have and IBM/Lenovo keyboard (product #02R0400) which doesn't want to install on my HP desktop computer.  My HP has Windows Vista 32-bit for the operating system to where it work perfectly well with my Sony desktop which had Windows XP for an operating system which could very well be a problem with it not showing up when plugged in to the USB port.  After speaking with technical support they gave me the correct download to install, but it didn't make any difference.
    I'm open to any and all suggestions as I am in dire need of having my UltraNav mouse working as in paralyzed roughly the armpits down and using the Accessibility Options which entails using a number pad means stretching my neck to the limit since I use a mouth wand/stick in my mouth since I don't have enough use of my arms and hands.
    Thank you very much for reading this and any help you could be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
