| Yes Andy
|
| those three keys I mentioned need no configuration, nor do they need you
to
| load the software.
|
| One other thing that's good about the keyboard in that you don't have to
| press any quote connect unquote button to get the keyboard working, you
just
| plug in the sender/receiver dongle, wait for windows to do its plug and
play
| thing and the keyboard works automatically.
