  Hello,

  there is no special to do with a wireless keyboard or a mouse. Windows should 
install the required driver softwares automatically, and you can use it. 
According to my experiences with a Trust keyboard and mouse, i just plugged in 
the cable, windows had detected, and i could use. If there are special keys on 
the keyboard, for different actions, E.G. open browser, mail application, 
increase or decrease the volume, or mute, usually those are set by default, and 
you can't change them, just with installing the extra software for the device. 
However, you mentioned that this is a MS package, so it is possible, that 
Windows has full support for that.

  Regards,

  Dávid

    Hello, 

    I have recently purchased a Microsoft wireless keyboard with also a 
wireless mouse combo package, I am using Jaws 9 and jaws 10 with Microsoft 
Vista.  I hope Jaws will work properly as it always has, when I use this 
wireless keyboard, after I have also  installed this wireless mouse from 
Microsoft for my sighted wife to be able to use.  Can someone please tell me if 
Jaws will work properly for me with this wireless keyboard, after I have 
installed also the wireless mouse?  Is there anything special I need to do to 
my computer or jaws in order to make jaws work properly with this wireless 
keyboard from Microsoft?   

    I have been told that this wireless keyboard and wireless mouse is really 
easy to hookup and install, I was told that all I need to do is just install 
each of these one at a time by just plugging  the base for the keyboard and the 
base for the mouse in one at a time and the computer will pick it up and set it 
up with my notebook computer automatically, this sounds too easy.......is this 
the case?  Any help I can maybe get on these questions I have about using this 
recently purchased wireless mouse and keyboard from Microsoft would be greatly 
appreciated.  Much thanks in advance. 



    All the best, 

    Hank
