Ultraslim Plus Wireless keyboard/mouse with Linux

I have a Thinkpad Edge E540 with Linux Mint Cinnamon 17 installed. I am considering buying the above keyboard and mouse. The operating systems listed for the keyboard and mouse do not include Linux. Does anyone have experience of them working with Linux?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
Download and install the latest version of Drivers
Also try using a new AAA x 2 battery for keyboard
Hope This Helps

Ultraslim Plus Wireless KB&Mouse GUI language

Hi.
I got a brand new Lenovo Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo, installed the newest drivers from Lenovo, but its GUI is in my regional language. I'm in Slovakia, but my complete OS and all my programs are in English, so I want to have it in English language. How to change it? There are no options for changing the language in the GUI. I found some language IDs in some .ini files where Slovak is 19, English is 1, but I didn't find anything where I could change that number. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solution: Deleted all other languages fields in the .ini files, left English fields there. No restart needed, instant English GUI. The files I deleted data in:
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard & Mouse\KBDUI.ini
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Mouse Suite\xManager\xManager.ini
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Mouse Suite\xManager\001\xProCtrl.ini

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.

Cleaning Ultraslim Plus Wireless Keyboard?

Hi all,
I've owned a lenovo ultraslim plus wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I love it, and it feels great to use, and is extremely versatile. It's been a year since I bought it and now it needs cleaning.
I tried removing all screws, but it doesn't seem to come apart very easily. I don't have the user guide with me so I don't know where to start.
This may be one of the most basic/stupidly simple questions on here but could anyone tell me how to get to the keys inside the keyboard without possibly damaging/breaking the keyboard bezels?

Macbook Pro 13" 2010 wireless keyboard/mouse with lid open?

Can one use a wireless keyboard and/or mouse with a Macbook Pro when the lid is open?
I'm planning to purchase a 13" mbp soon and will have an external monitor attached. There will be times when typing on a wireless keyboard will be preferred. I know that you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse in clamshell mode, buy can't find any notes re: their use with the lid open.
Thanks.
p.s. I've really appreciated reading the postings in the forums when researching my upcoming purchases.

Certainly. It should work just fine.

Using Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse with a MacBook

What is required to use a MacBook with the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse?
-- i.e., what 'setup' is required to get the MacBook to recognize those devices and respond to input from them?
Thanks.

To be able to use the mouse and keyboard to full effect, such as key combos on boot and all the mouse buttons, its best to install the drivers from the cd that came with the mouse and keyboard.

Wireless keyboard & mouse

Hi there. I just installed on my MBP Mac OS X 10.5. I wanted to install WinXP as my secondary OS with BootCamp.
My wireless keyboard & mouse are not detected when I boot in Win.
How can I get my keyboard & mouse to work
Thanks!

A quick look at the requirements for the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse says nothing about Windows, meaning they are not supported by Apple for Windows use. That does not mean, however, that someone has not found a way to make them work. As Allan has already stated, the Bootcamp discussion area would be a good place to look. It is possible that there is a third-party application which allows them to work in the Windows environment. Good luck.

Hp model #RK713A wireless keyboard + mouse

can i purchase a usb dongle that will work with my hp model #RK713A wireless keyboard + mouse?

I am also looking to buy the dongle for this set up. My son got one and then shipped to boot camp (USMC) and now we can't find the dongle. It is a beautiful and new set up except for the missing dongle. I hate to buy a whole new set up.

Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

Mauszeiger aus Lenovo Ultraslim plus wireless Set bewegt sich nur noch sporadisch

Hallo!
Ich hatte mir am 6. April 2013 das Lenovo Ultraslim plus wireless Tastatur und Maus-Set gekauft. Seit heute reagiert der Mauszeiger auf Bewegungen der Maus nur noch sporadisch, d.h. mal bleibt er wo er ist, mal kann man ihn bewegen. Das Klicken der Tasten funktioniert wie gehabt, auch die Tastatur arbeitet wie sie soll. Die Batterien habe ich mehrmals durch frische, passende augetauscht; den Dongle entfernt und in eine andere USB-Schnittstelle gesteckt; die Treiber de- und wieder installiert, allerdings immer mit demselben Ergebnis. Nehme ich die Maus in angeschaltetem Zustand hoch, konnte man früher den Infrarotsensor rot leuchten sehen - dies ist nicht mehr der Fall. Ich gehe davon aus, dass das Problem wohl dort liegen wird. Gibt es bereits ähnliche Erfahrungen? Muss ich mir eine neue Maus zulegen (damit verbunden: wie kann ich dann meine immer noch funktionierende Tastatur mit ihr kombinieren, ohne einen zweiten Dongle zu benötigen?), bzw. habe ich noch Garantie auf das Produkt?
Für Ratschläge und Hilfe bin ich sehr dankbar!
Viele Grüße!
Gelöst!
Gehe zu Lösung.

Hallo peter_griffin,
wenn der Sensor frei von Verunreinigungen ist und auch die Unterlage ensprechend geeignet ist (nicht spiegelnd) kann vielleicht noch ein Frequenzabgleich zwischen Funkempfänger und Maus helfen:
- Den USB-Dongle in einen freien USB-Anschluß einstecken.
- Die Maus einschalten indem die linke, mittlere und rechte Taste gedrückt werden. Die LED wird nun langsam blinken (2x pro Sekunde).
- Die Maus in die Reichweite des Dongles bewegen (innerhalb 30cm), dafür sind 30 Sekunden Zeit.
- Wenn die LED 10x schnell blinkt (5x pro Sekunde) dann war die Synchronisierung erfolgreich.
Hat das nicht geholfen und neue Batterien sind eingesetzt, ist die Maus vermutlich defekt. Wende dich bitte zur Klärung der Garantie an deinen Verkäufer.
Eine andere Maus kann mit dem Dongle nicht gekoppelt werden bzw. kann die Tastatur nicht mit dem Dongle eines anderen Sets gekoppelt werden. Du müsstest also Tastatur, Maus und Dongle immer komplett tauschen.
Gruß
Sebastian

Sharing Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse with two Mac's

I have a PowerPC and a MacBook Pro. I also have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse I use with the PowerPC. Is there a way I can also use them with the MacBook Pro and "hot swap" between computers? (By "hot swap" I mean thru some software or configuration switch to use the keyboard/mouse with one computer and then with the other without having to go thru disable/discover etc, etc). I'd really would like to avoid having to purchase another bluetooth keyboard/mouse (I have limited desk space). Thanks in advance for all replies.

This might not be exactly what you are after but I suggest you give it a try.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
It uses TCP/IP connections for the 2 computers but allows you to access each computer's desktop on the primary conputer's screen and move the active use of keyboard and mouse from one to the other as well as having some other features.

When i boot my mac it opens with a grey screen and the wireless keyboard, mouse illustration and won't do anything elsens,

When I turn on my iMac (27" intel) all I get is connect my wireless keyboard and mouse on a grey screen. The mouse will connect (sometimes) after I wiggle it a bit, but nothing from the keyboard. After a few minutes the disk utilities box comes up. I ran permissions and repair permissions, verify and repair on my computer and it tells me everything is ok. But it won't let me past this screen. Any suggesions? Help!?!

Hi Grace Be,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The articles below may be able to help you with this. I've summarized some of the key points below for you. Click on the links to see more details and screenshots.
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Perform a Safe Boot
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

Lose connection with wireless keyboard/ mouse

I'm using 10.9.1 and continually losing the connection with the wireless keyboard or the bluetooth mouse. I've changed the batteries. I've gone to System Preferences, clicked on keyboard and used the assistant to re-connect. But why is this happening at least every 3 days. First the keyboard. Then the mouse.

Hello peachfuzz123,
The following article provides some additional troubleshooting that may help stabilize your Mac's connection to your mouse and keyboard.

No sound from iMac with a wireless keyboard/mouse

I just installed FaceTime on my iMac and am able to hear a friend who calls from her iPhone, but she cannot hear me. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse with this Mac. Does that have anything to do with it? If so, can it be fixed and how? Thanks!

(1) Have you checked your FaceTime > Video menu command to be sure that you have selected your iMac's built-in microphone?
Also check  > System Preferences... > Sound > Input to be sure your iMac's built-in microphone is selected as your system's "sound input:" device.
(2) If the problem remains, both of you should test FaceTime with at least one other person to try to determine which of you has the problem.

Boot camp will not recognize wireless keyboard/mouse - will they work with a 32bit version of Windows?

I have a new iMac 21.5" - 4GB ram, 3.60 GZ processor. Installed bootcamp partition with Win 7 Pro 64 bit - it was sealed box. Could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard/mouse that came with the unit last Thursday.
From page 5 of the instructions, "What You Need" - The Keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your computer. (if they are not available use a USB keyboard and mouse.)
I did follow all the instructions for getting the drivers installed. Went to all sources of info on the subject from Apple support, internet discussions and forums. It seems that it is a common and seemingly unsolveable problem that Apple does not yet have a solution for.
The question - will the 32 bit Windows 7 Pro have the same problem?
BruceM

You need 3.1 or better yet the drivers from Lion and Boot Camp 4.0
BC 2.x was only for Vista and XP
You don't actually "run" Boot Camp 2.x as much as partition with the Assistant, and install motherboard support drivers to Windows.
"I am USING Boot Camp 2.x"
You're running Windows -- natively.
