Labtec Ultra Flat Wireless keyboard and mouse
Who are Labtec we hear you cry, well again they are another cheaper brand, under £20 for a wireless keyboard and mouse. It is cutting edge technology but this £20 will be one of the best you’ll ever spend, they both look and have that executive feel to them and certainly look like they cost well over £35. Ok, it might just be us here at Techlounge but there’s nothing worse than using a new mouse and it been more sensitive than your old one. When we first used this mouse it felt odd due to us moving the mouse too fast.
The mouse does have a really nice feel to it and is one of the mice that you could use all day and not have a painful hand at the end of the day. The keyboard is fairly weighty which at Techlounge we think it makes a good keyboard. The keys are low profile like a laptop keyboard, and have that nice feel and clicky noise.
Even the receiver is a nice small box that tapers inwards towards the bottom. It has a big connect button about the size of a 2p coin which does not look out of place.
The only thing we feel that is missing is a battery charger within the receiver which has now become a standard item with wireless keyboard and mouse bundles.

I use one of these every day and it is perfect. The keyboard and mouse do have a really nice feel to them and are very comfortable
November 9th, 2005 at 7:56 pm
I recently purchased it and while keyboard is great, mouse is far too sensitive
November 10th, 2005 at 11:05 am
That’s odd that you found the mouse too sensitive, ours was fine. You could try going into the control panel > mouse > pointer options> motion and change that slightly. That might help.

Looks very good… but, what about battery life?
December 8th, 2005 at 4:31 pm
Hi
The battery life will differ between the keyboard and mouse. From our experience here are Techlounge with wireless accessories the keyboard will last up to 6 months on a set of brand new quality batteries. Recharged ones will not last as long. As for the mouse, they use more battery power, and it does depend on how much you use it. We would average about 6 - 8 weeks between battery changes. We would suggest you get a battery recharger and have a set of batteries on standby, as when the batteries run out there is no warning… the mouse just stops.

Hi
I’ve bought one just over 2 weeks ago and I think it’s absolute bargain for £20. just one snag - the music quick launch button opens windows Media player 6, can this be changed to open with Ver 10 or any other media player?
December 9th, 2005 at 12:41 am
mayb she wants to keep the old version?
December 14th, 2005 at 7:02 pm
I bought one too. I’m very dissapointed at how it works with 1st person shooter games. Mevement keys lag and they keep going after you have relased them, sometimes they don’t register your push at all… Anyone got same problem?
December 25th, 2005 at 4:07 pm
Yes Harri. I have same problem. Do you know any solution?
Thanx
December 26th, 2005 at 5:18 pm
yeah.
im having the exact same problem.
i press a movement key, and my little 3d characrter just keeps going. just tap for insatnce W once, and ill move forward for about or 7 seconds.
been looking for soloutions…havent found any.
it only happnes in 3D games, so it leads me to believe its some kind of direct X issue.
unfourtunatly i dont know how to fix it….tried diffrent drvers, tried diffrent layouts, even re-installed direct x 9 c. only happens on the labtec keybaord, tried an old keyboard, no problems….so.
if anyone has a fix for this….please post.
thankyou.

How about range? I’m mean how far away can the receiver be from the keyboard/mouse and still work?
December 30th, 2005 at 6:49 pm
I quickly tried this keyboard set with Halo and it seemed to work fine with me.
But as someone mentioned above- how can you change the keyboard shortcuts so that the media button opens up Windows Media Player 10? It seems as thought the software installs utilities and drivers for the mouse but not the keyboard. I downloaded all of the drivers from labtec’s website and none of them resolved the issue- none of them even worked!
I’m just avoiding using the media button. But overall i am impressed with this keyboard. I previous one was a ‘Genius’ flat keyboard, but the keys were very ‘plasticky’ and made a loud tapping sound, unlike this which is soft as a real flat laptop keyboard :), just what i’ve been wanting :P.
January 3rd, 2006 at 7:56 pm
for the above who had problems with the media button opening WMP6 instead of WMP 10 - i may have a quick-fix for some of you…
i use winamp, and i wanted the key to open that instead of WMP entirely, and i found that by un-installing the wireless media desktop software, it reverted to opening the default windows media player - winamp in my case!
this is on a computer running MS Windoze XP Pro. can’t vouch for it working on any other OS’
i tried altering the code in the registry etc. to do a manual fix, but i was hopeless and didnt manage anything successful
hope that helps at least a bit

January 13th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
Come on! Can’t someone test the range of this keyboard/mouse? Is it 1 centimeter? 2 meters? 10 meters?
January 16th, 2006 at 12:58 am
I have the same problem with it carrying on when I press down a key, its really annoying and want to know has anyone found a fix for this yet?
January 16th, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Yes i have the same problem with sticky keys. alt tab seems to be the worst off them all, and if you use it for video edditing like i do i’ll find if awefull because shift sticks for some 2 or 3 seconds. But my girlfriend has got one like mine and this doesn’t happen. so i think that this is defect of some of these keyboards. if anyone have a solution for this, please notice!
January 17th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
I would be interested to know the range of the keyboard and mouse please.
How far apart from the receiver can you go before they are affected?
Cheers
January 17th, 2006 at 2:09 pm
Hi
I have had one of these Labtec keyboards for a while now with no problems.
In terms of the range of the keyboard, I happily work about 3 foot away from my receiver. But I do know from past experience with other wireless peripherals that this may not be standard across the board. If the batteries are new this increases the range.
Hope this helps

i have a problem, I’ve bought one just over 2 days and i can´t it conect, the keyboard dont work, i´ve already push down the “conect” button but nothing . could someone to help me? thank
January 24th, 2006 at 12:06 am
I have the same problem, somtimes it connects but most of the time its just dead. Cant figure out whats the problem, if someone knows something please help me.
January 24th, 2006 at 12:33 am
For S2,
Cheers for your sugestion. Uninstalling the Labtec Software enables the media key to pick up WM10.

Hi all, I have the same Ultra Flat KB and Mouse, and i’m realy happy with it. I my old one was A4 RFKBTX 5C (KB+Mouse) the new one is far far away and better than old one, the mouse of Labtec’s set has very good sensitivity, good batery life (i’m using recargable batteries it warn’s me evry time I log on windows but still works with firs set ot battery). I bought Labtec Set on 11.01.2006, i’ve bad luck with keyboard , when i bought it i notice that 2 keys don’t work properly, and send it back for repair or exchange, and the store exchange the keyboard with new one and that worked fine till now:) (if not i have 24 mounts of warranty and i’ll send it back again for new one!)
The keyboard has very good feel (it took me some time to get used to, but now i’m feel very comfortable), but i want tell you that it has onlu one issue it has some miliseconds lag time, and i don’t like it first (i don’t recomend this KB for gamers) , but it depends on battery used for (first i used rechargable battery and the lag time was worring noticable) but whe exchanged with normal battery originaly came with the Labtec’s set it’s reduce about twice time lag. Now i’m using rechargable battery only for mouse.
The range is very dependent of battery. KB has about 3-5 meters from reciver may be even more (it’s working good in all my bedroom), for Mouse about 2 meters maximum far from reciver (but now software warn’s me every time I log on winXP for low battery)
I’have one issue that is bothering me: some times, when i turn on the PC, it’s can not initialzed KB&Mouse, windows XP boot’s up but there is no mouse or KB. Found that the problem is causing by reciver (but i’m not sure why may be may Motherboard as some problems with that, but i heven’t this issue with old one wireless KB&M from A4 tech). The problem is solved by turning off the pc and remove outlet from main power (220V) and wait for a 1-2 min. when the PC initialize the reciver (you can see that, when swich power on PC - tree green lights flash on, for a half second it’s meaning that working! and there is no other problem!) But i think that this problem is private case!
The good thing is that reciver don’t loose the cannel of wireless M&KB even when it’s off for a long perion of time.
The problem with WMP can be solved without deinstalling the software, just click on tray labtec’s icon and choose “disable Labtec’s wirelees desktop” , if need again enable it from start->programs->Labtec’s W.D.-> enable.
I will recomend this Keyboard and Mouse for every one who looking for a good wireless KB&M, not even for awesome look, but and for very good way of working ! for future would take again same Labtec® Ultra-Flat Wireless for my second Desktop PC!
January 31st, 2006 at 1:23 am
I just tested the range with my brand new flat keyboard… it’s about 2.5 meters…
February 4th, 2006 at 12:05 pm
how do u turn the mouse off when not using it
February 4th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
i have just bought the labtec slimline wireless mouse and keyboard and it is brilliant untill i turn my computer off and try to start again as soon as the power goes off and on the keyboard and mouse dont work and i have to keep using my old mouse and keyboard to start up my computer i then have to load the disc in that came with the wireless keyboard and mouse to get it to connect it does this everytime i turn my computer off.could you tell me if i need to save somehow or if im just not loading this properly.
February 21st, 2006 at 2:35 pm
I bought the mouse and keyboard, ive had no problems with the mouse, but the keyboard does not seem to work properly. When typing, it fails to register all of the keys pressed, so words end up missing 2 or 3 letters, it only seems to work if I type slowly. Surely a good keyboard shouldnt only work if you type slowly.
February 21st, 2006 at 4:32 pm
Hi Nat
Sounds like you have got a faulty keyboard there. We would recommend returning it under warranty.
Techlounge
February 23rd, 2006 at 7:00 pm
please tel me how to turn the mouse off and keyboard. Its costin me loads in batteries.
February 24th, 2006 at 9:12 am
Since the range sounds too short for me, i’d like to know how long is the wire from the computer to the receiver? That’s a PS/2 set, right? If i’m buing the set, i think i’ll extend the wires to get the receiver to a more convenient position.
March 1st, 2006 at 1:13 pm
My problems…
How I can set media buttons? (like music => winamp, internet => mozilla and so on…)
Can I change mouse automatic battery saver someway.(sorry my english isn´t vey good…) When I don´t move mouse but buttons are pressed, it goes to battery save mode. It´s very frustrating because you have to move mouse same time when button is held down.
March 3rd, 2006 at 11:11 am
I have a lot of problems with both my keyboard and mouse.
1) I get constant “low keyboard batteries” warnings, even though i have changed the batteries. The mouse seems to work fine though.
2) When I type fast every second or third letter is left out. Is this only a keyboard for slow typers or what?
3) Sometimes when I use the mouse it freezes and it takes about three seconds for it to react.
4) Sometimes when I turn on my computer, it says “no keyboard present” and when I press the “connect” button on the reciever I hear an anoying “schreeching” sound from my computer… If I turn off the computer and wait a while it usually works.
Did anyone experience these problems except me? I really hate this desktop set.
March 12th, 2006 at 1:12 pm
i have just been givin the labtec wirless keyboard n mouse,but i have no instructions on how to set it up…ive been told it has to be done in a certain way…..can anyone email me the instuctions that would be grtaefully appreciated!missgemmaspencer@hotmail.co.uk…thanks!
March 31st, 2006 at 6:12 pm

April 3rd, 2006 at 11:45 am
sounds like your pc maybe too new or old for it
April 3rd, 2006 at 11:30 pm
its a amd athlon 64 3400+ running xp pro
surely it shouldnt matter if its new or old
April 4th, 2006 at 9:15 am
i’d be taking your keyboard and mouse back with the reciever and see what they say are they poth ps/2 connections
April 4th, 2006 at 3:39 pm

April 4th, 2006 at 4:54 pm

April 4th, 2006 at 6:54 pm

April 4th, 2006 at 8:23 pm
I have just upgraded to this keybord + mouse from the “wired” version and I love it (not using the mouse however, as I use my logitech mx650 wireless mouse which I have customised with a UV Purple L.E.D instead of the bog standard Red one.)
I want to know, has anyone discovered how to stop the lag/sticking keys within games, it is really annoying as it does it within all 3d games, not just 1st person.
****** TO THE PEOPLE WITH ANY MEDIA BUTTON PROBLEMS *******
Simply uninstall the drivers, and software which was supplyed with the keybord & mouse, this allows the media buttons to use your computers “default program”
ie Firefox (internet key) or Winamp (media key)
this will not work however, if you do not have which ever program to open as your default.
for instance:
you want firefox to open when you press the internet key, but your computers default browser is internet explorer
or
you want Winamp to open when you press the media key, but Windows Media Player opens your music etc.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:53 am
I also have that weird key stuck carry on thing in my games. This happens in every game including emulators and java/flash/shockwave games. In widozes desktop environment keys seem to work properly exept alt, shift and control. And in question boxes or other windows promt popups with some kind of buttons, pressing the button with space key presses the button down and keeps it there for few seconds before releasing the button. I use alt + tab all the time and this weird lag annoys me. If I connect the keyboard to usb jack with ps2-usb converter, things get worse because every button will have this weird release bug after that. No matter what drivers I use, no matter where the receiver is located, no matter what batteries I use, nothing seems to work. Please mtv pimp my keyboard!
If you want to configure those media buttons go to labtecs www page and download “Labtec Keyboard/Desktop Software” package. It is not meant for this keyboard but works perfectly and lets you customize every button there. Just remember to uninstall the original software supplied with keyboard.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:30 am
have you tried not using any labtec drivers
April 13th, 2006 at 10:26 am
Yes I have. This most likely is not a driver issue because it also appears when I connect my keyboard to another computer with different operating system.
April 15th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
same here, I have not bothered with the drivers yet the problem still is there.
Just out of curiosity, I would like to try and find the cause of the stick keys problem. If people with this keybord with or without the problem could post the following details that would be great.
Your Operating System, and version
Direct X Version
Processor model and speed
conncection type for the keybord PS2 or USB
Stick keys Problem Yes or No
to find out the 1st 3 things on the list in Windows 98, Me and Xp
Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information.
Then Click on Tools, DirectX Diagnostic Tool. once that loads it should tell you everything you need on the 1st page.
—————————————————————
My Details:
OS: Windows Xp Pro SP1 (with SP2 essensal updates)
DirectX: 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ ~2.4GHz
Keybord Connection: PS2
Stick Keys?: Yes
With a bit of luck we might be able to find some kind of pattern, and if thats the case, we might be able to solve this problem our selfs. Dont bother contacting Labtec there useless, they blame the problem on low batts and the reciver been too close to other objects etc etc.
April 16th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Computer #1
Windows Me v. 4.90.3000
DirectX 7.1 (4.07.01.3000)
Intel Celeron ~846 Mhz
Keyb. connection: I’ve tested laptops keyboard plug hole and USB aswell.
Keys do stick.
Computer #2
Windows XP pro sp2 v.5.1.2600
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
AMD Sempron 64 ~1607 Mhz
Connection: Both PS2 and USB
Keys stick yes.
Ive notest that when I play 3d game and quickly tap “W” the game character keeps walking but pressing any other key like “shift” stops it. When I tap “W” again and tap the same button on another keyboard connected to USB for example, the game character stop also. So it seems that the problem here is with the receiver. It kinda forgets to inform windows that the key is not pressed anymore.
And during boot, before windows loading starts, pressing the connect button makes my beeper generate some annoying scratchy beeps. So there must be some kind of shorcircuit in the receiver. Im not opening it yet, warranty void if I do.
April 17th, 2006 at 11:39 am
hmm, both of your computers are very diffrent. I was kinda expecting it to be something to do with any of the listed, but your computer specs have just blown that out of the water. maybe we do just have faulty keybords, but I am still baffled why they would work so well within windows.
ask for pressing the connect button on start up, I have never needed to press mine as yet but I will write a follow up to see if I can get the same “annoying beeps.”
April 18th, 2006 at 9:37 pm
no beeps while trying to connect at boot however, I couldnt get connected since i pressed the connect button untill I restarted my pc for a second time.
April 24th, 2006 at 6:35 pm
I have just started to have some real problems with mine now.
everytime I boot my pc, the keybord seems to not work at all as if it has locked up and takes about 3 restarts to get it working again. I will be taking mine back to Argos this weekend.
April 26th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
Bought the keyboard/mouse combo a few months ago and had tremendous problems getting the mouse to work at all, unless I plugged a ’standard’ mouse in as the computer was booting up and then swapped this for the Labtec mouse. Had similar problems with the keyboard, i.e. it would sometimes not be recognised when the computer was switched on.
Has anyone tried using a PS2-to-USB convertor to try and solve this problem, as my computer always picks up the USB mouse I have plugged into it?
April 26th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
I have tried it with ps2 to usb converter, recognition is better but keyboard is useless because every key will “lag”.
I complained about my problems to the webstore where I bought this package from and they said that they will pass my problem to the importer. After a week the importer replied that I don’t have to return this product to the webstore, but I can throw it away with trash. New product will be delivered to me for free.
So I guess that this is somekind of common unsolvable problem.
April 26th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
one of my family memebers has this keyboard and it has never given them any problems ok they don’t use there pc alot but still its work fault free
May 23rd, 2006 at 6:04 pm
Hi! ..i boughted the wireless ultra flat desktop too.. working fine ..i have figured myself out that the 3d game buttons/mice “connection” error to the receiver depends from the game..I mean in some game the error is worse than in other games..my problem is almost same than somebody else had..altought mine doesn’t run anymore for example and I have to press run button again to get the player run again or to strafe or whatever. In call of duty i had little this problem but when I set the receiver close/to touch my keyboard the “connection” was pure and no problems..In battlefield 2 the problem is little bigger but when put the receiver on top of num lock corner the game is again playable ..so I didn’t anymore care about the problem until now I installed fallou 2 and the desktop doesn’t work almost at all..I have to keep the receiver under my hand with mouse to get the pointer move..LOL.. has anybody send any questions to Labtec..because this is pretty clearly depending from the software how the desktop works..??? We should put their guys to ix this problem up..if nobody hasn’t mailed to them ..so I can..and sry if poor english
May 23rd, 2006 at 6:34 pm
just to say..I sended e-mail to Labtec. Lets see what they say
June 6th, 2006 at 9:05 pm
hiya guys ive got a media wireless keyboard and have recently rebooted my computer and misplaced my instructions on how to set it up. can anyone help me by sending me then instructions? my addy is smithey253@hotmail.com cheers x
June 7th, 2006 at 9:50 am
Have you tried searching google
August 12th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
Hi,
I bought this product two days ago. The mouse seemed to work properly but keyboard would always stop reacting a few seconds after connecting it to the reciever (first words ended up missing 2-3 letters and then dead). The problem occured on 3 different computers. As I read previous comments I came to the conclusion that it’s a common problem.
Today I changed the product for a new one under warranty and there is no problem, neither with mouse nor keyboard! Actually it works brilliant!
So that seems to be the solution to your problems with no connection and “keyboards for slow writers” hehe
October 11th, 2006 at 8:42 pm
I have been trying to get this connected to my wife’s laptop for an hour. The laptop has just USBs and I have a PS2-USB convertor. The mouse works perfectly but the keyboard is totally dead. I expect we’ll try returning it to the shop, although we bought it a few months ago so we may be out of luck. WHAT A LEMON.
November 3rd, 2006 at 12:06 am
Hello!
I had exactly the same key stuck problem. It’s not a driver issue.
To fix the problem simply replace batteries, or, as I did, remove and put them again… and voila!
It succeeded with mine…
Hope this will be useful. Best regards!
November 9th, 2006 at 10:25 pm
Has anybody had any issues with the mouse? I’m on my 2nd one now i took the first back and still have the same issue where it just stops dead completely about every 10-15 mins. The only way to get it going again is to take the battries out and put them back in again….anyone got any suggestions how i cam over come this???
Thanks
November 19th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
Hi chris, ive the same problem with my mouse turning itself off an going completly deadon me, i leave my desktop on 24 h/d and when i wake the mouse works fine but then when im using it it will just die and i have to take out and put back in my batteries, only had it a few days and its really starting to piss me off, the keyboards done it once too but that seems to be fine though, any ideas or had anyone wrote back to you? John
December 10th, 2006 at 1:05 am
Yeah I have got same prob with sticky keys during game. BUT I found that if u put the receiver thingy really close to the keyboard, it makes the keys stick a hell of a lot less and makes games actually playable without me getting really p***ed off!. Try it and see what you think. Good luck!
December 17th, 2006 at 7:49 pm
hello
im trying to fix a problem which is, whenever i click internet explorer two pages open at once..one is ok but another is a blank page with microsoft internet explorer written at the top and it keeps pushing to the front all the time.. im running internet explorer 7 with xp sp2..any ideas would be very much appreciated..thankyou
December 31st, 2006 at 2:42 am
i have just been given this labtec rubbish as a present i am on my 4th pair of mouse batteries in 6 hours. the mouse just goes off and that is it. if you cannot get reliability from your mouse whats the point. the mouse is never more than 2′ from the every other part so there should be no problem.the set i have is the ultra flat wireless desktop, my last microsoft wireless set has been problem free but i fancied the keyboard on the labtech. fool me if anybody wants to contact me feel free regards bill mcphee
January 6th, 2007 at 2:01 am
ive got a problem with my labtec key board ive got a message on my screen out of range i just cant get rid of it other than that it s taken me about five reboots to get it all working has anyone else had this problem with the message stuck in the middle of the screen
i think its a driver issue

Big thnx 2 author. Very interesting.
I wish you prosperity
Best wishes.

I have had no problem with using media player 10 or 11 with my media buttons, have you tried uninstalling the old version of media player and only using the one you want?
I do have a problem, however, as I am currently using my old bog standard keyboard with big chunky, heavy keys - using a mixture of mousekeys and K/b Short cuts (glad I kept it). The problem is that whenever the electric goes both th ek/b and mouse stop working. the mouse thinks it is connected, but my PC does not recognise it, the lights on the connect unit do not blink when the PC boots and the keyboard doesn’t work at all - not even during booting when pressing F8. I have sorted the problem before when it happened, unfortunately I’m not sure how. Any ideas?
January 27th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Oh wait just realised you sorted the WMP thing. whatever then
March 9th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
What a rubbish company. I bought a keyboard and mouse in France and on the box is shown a QWERTY keyboard. When I got home it’s a French setup, which I didn’t realise when I bought it - didn’t even realise theirs was different. I contacted LABTEC but they refused to exchange it, so I’m left with a keyboard and mouse that’s effectively useless. Thanks LABTEC. Really great customer service.
March 31st, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Sticky Keys!!
OS: Windows Xp Pro SP2
DirectX: 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Processor: AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz
Keybord Connection: PS2
Stick Keys?: Yes
This problem is funny, because I have an OLDER model of the Labtec Wireless. The company has known about this problem for awhile, and it still is not fixed. I contacted tech support and they gave me crap, and since my warranty was expired….yeah. I like the setup well enough except for 3d games, I can play Fallout 2, Diablo 2 fine. ANYTHING 3d is terrible, from DOOM 1 to System Shock to Half Life 2. I don’t think there’s a solution, I’ve tried this on many systems as well. The reciever sucks. Wah.
April 14th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
I have a labtec `media wireless desktop key board all is fine except the ” @ keys are reversed i press @ and get ” . Is there a way to solve this
May 21st, 2007 at 3:36 pm
I GET REALLY HUGE LETTERS ON THE SCREEN ithink i pressed something for that special purpose… i could not REVERT.
July 3rd, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Hi folks I have one too and found this site trying to fix the sticky keys. So far putting the batteries back in have help
For the folks who find the mouse stops working. well mine does when I come back to my machine after a time. I found that just clicking somewhere starts the thing up again.
Lastly Mike There is a small program called trade keys from PC world. I use it to trade the cap lock key with F2. If you haven’t been able to return yours i’d give this a try

Does anyone know of a way to find out the owner of a cell phone if you know their number? I see many sites for reverse lookups for cell phones but they charge almost 100 bucks.
All of the free reverse phone number sites have a fee after you put in the phone number. Anywho.com or whitepages.com or any of that stuff does not work since you have to pay to get a report.
Are there any ACTUAL free ones out there?

i have the same call of duty problem pretty much but when i walk forward, it randomly stops, it also does this if i sidestep or look round too far while walking. so i have to keep on repressing forward when i usually keep it on a lot. Is there any solution?

Hi, i have just bought this set and i have 2 problems with it.
1) whenever i try to type double letters its only types the first (example: hello
= helo) i thought it might bet the repeat rate and/or repeat delay but if i change them it types to many (example: hello=helllllo) . no mater what i do it is always abit weird.
2)my mouse flys all over the place, it goes crazy, i have changed the batterys, downloaded new drivers and everything but it won’t stop flying abou.
i would have said this was a decent keyboard and mouse except for those 2 issues that makes my work hard.

The keyboard doesnt work, I’ve put in new batteries and pressed the connect buttons several times, but nothing?
What do I do?

**FOR PEOPLE WITH MOUSE BATTERY PROBLEMS**
go to the contol panel and select Printers and Other Hardware.
On the left of the window there will be a section with “Add Hardware”… etc.
select Power Options.
Then Power Schemes.
Then select “Always On” from the drop-down menu and click OK.

**FOR LINDA**
hold the connect button on the reciever for about 3 seconds and then hold the connect button on the keyboard so both buttons are being held at the same time.
Hold them both for about 15 seconds.
then wait a while and see if it works.
if it doesnt work, then keep trying.
if THAT doesnt work then take it back to the shop.

hello everyone,
i have also owned this keyboard/mouse for about 3-4 months now… bought it for only 10£ so cant complain much about the problems, although it do give me problems as well but i have found workaround for them, i m writing them below so maybe someone might take advantage..
first of all go in to the system bios and change system bios setting from fast boot to normal (this gives adequte time to check all system components at post and reduces keyboard/mouse failure errors)
when the system boots keep an eye on ir receiver leds they MUST FLASH if they dont just poweroff wait for 1-2 seconds and poweron again if not then repeat the same prodedure again untill u do get an led flash
keep an eye on bios messages, if u see errors on post like keyboard failure or auxillary device failure just poweroff again wait 1-2 seconds and poweron, there shouldnt be any such messages either.
when system is being loaded keep moving the mouse up n down i have observed if u leave the mouse idle at boot up it will probably stuck up and wont respond no matter how many times u press connect..
if u setting up connection for the first time always configure keyboard first. press connect on the receiver after 1-2 seconds press connect on keyboard.. now keyboard should work.. then press again connect on ir receiver and after 1-2 seconds press connect on mouse dont worry if nothing happens just restart the system making sure u r moving the mouse up n down… 95% of the time it works normally 5% u have to reboot again..
i have also observed once the setup is up n running for sometime it wont trouble u if u keep eye on startup ir leds and bios messages.. avoid pressing connect again n again once the connection is established.. even when mouse donot work on some occasions..
i m not much of a 3d gameplayer so i never came across problems with keyboard, but recently i played doom3 and it gives problem of not stopping going ahead when u press w..
anyway do add ur experiences i hope i helped a bit..
regards

This is the worst product I have ever bought… useless… after a few minutes the keybord and mouse stops working, it’s like the reciever forgets that it’s connected! I have to push the connect button on the keybord and mouse every 2 minutes otherwise it won’t work….
The problem is that i bought this product online, and it cost 10£ to send it back for repair.. i only bought it for 20£… it’s garbage…
Can anyone help if it has anything to do with drivers ect.

E-gold is gradually leaving, who’ll substitute it?
It’s was a time when I was using e-gold everywhere but after all that problems and account freezing I’ve no trust to e-gold. Now I’m vacillating between pecunix and Perfect Money… But after Pecunix had been ddosed for a whole month I’ve got a wish to work only with Perfect Money.

is good

Pros: looks great, very good flat buttons, cheap
Cons: doesn’t work very well with games (especially shooters), mine for some reasons mutes the pc by itself for no apparent reason
If you don’t play games and sound isn’t very important you should buy it; otherwise stay away from it.

Hello people,
I have that utterly crappy problem with my mouse.
Whenever i 1 click smth the mouse sometimes just double or triple clicks it.
I cant even underline a text with my mouse because when i hold the button underline the text and i release the button it reacts like if i have just double clicked.
Anyone has the same problems and have you found a solution for this ?
Thank you in advance,
Dimiter
