Wireless keyboard conflicts with built-in keyboard. Help!?
Answers:
I don't have a wireless keyboard so I can't exactly give you personal experience suggestions, but I do have a few wireless mice.
Since the Mice I have are USB devices they need specific drivers to function. I installed the provided software to operate them, Logitech provided the drivers.
On my laptop I am able to use the wireless mouse and the track pad at the same time. Also, I can remove the wireless mouse by turning it off or disabling it and continue to use the track pad.
I strongly believe that both keyboards cannot be used simultaneously because of a shared resource restriction. If you want to switch from wireless to non-wireless then you should disable or turn off power to the wireless device to see if you can switch.
try reinstaling it the right way. use any driver CDs it came with. I wouldn't recommend even getting an external keyboard to begin with.
In what way does it 'conflict' with your existing keyboard?
If you type a "2" does it print a "5"?
It's entirely possible that your wireless keyboard is faulty or else it is being affected by other things around it like a mobile phone or a cordless phone or a wireless router, etc.
I know a guy who bought a wireless keyboard because his laptop keyboard was faulty and he had no problems...
If there was a disk with the keyboard, then install the drivers. Windows may pick up the keyboard on it's own as a "Human Interface Device" but to get the most from it you need to ensure that the correct drivers are installed as Windows is usually sadly lacking in updated components...
