Are you aware they ususlly have a switch on the bottom of them might be quite tiny that turns em on /off....

Yes, the box said batteries included but they were obviously take out by trader and said on the auction they wernt included the snake! cant remember but if you look at my purchases you will see it there as the last purchase i made. the dam thing wont establish a connection. i wish that he would respond so i can just go out and buy one!

Also there is connect buttons on both the receiver and the mouse/keyboard

I double checked the batteries and know about those buttons your talking about maugrim, i think its just a dud!
geek_soodanimMarch 17, 2008, 2:41 pm#9
Just double checking you actually connected the receiver to the PC? is it USB or PS/2?

There are some...... cheap and nasty ones being sold on this site, I bought one a while ago and it had a non standard layout and used pound signs so was obviously made for the GB market. BEWARE.

Its the ps/2 yea be wary of e-trader people, i just want to go buy one from dick smith now, but wnat my money back forst

I got one ages ago, not from the same trader...and it just wouldn't work, which was a shame because it was small and quiet....but the trader was happy to swap and then refund when I couldn't get it to go. How long ago did you email them? If they don't reply try leaving a message for them on one of their other auctions. Also leave feedback, you can change it once.

IS it the keyboard? As posted eaelier, the kbd and rcvr need to be synched. I have a wireless keyboard from a reputable manufacturer and it occasionally hiccups. unplug/turnoff, resynch and all is good (unlike my typing ability)

As before I have had a KB in for dumping due to it not working. But it took non std batteries that took higher amps to run. What model KB is it

Had 2 sets of wireless keyboard and mouse's first was Logitech and current set Microsoft, both work a treat, sorry your having problems.
geek_soodanimMarch 17, 2008, 4:57 pm#16
Also have you tried it on more than 1 computer? Did you previously install software for another keyboard and or mouse set? If so did you remove that? Was there any software with the new set?

10. I like the British keyboards. Great layout and you get a Pound symbol. That would have saved you at least 4 key presses BJ.
geek_fightthepowerMarch 17, 2008, 8:24 pm#18
Na no installation needed same with the old keyboard. the trader wants me to send it back to him and he gonna check it out, he must have a few duds go back! bit of a hassle really
