I checked on Versiontracker to see if I could find an older version of the software. I think the Microsoft mouse software conflicts with their own keyboard software. To add insult to injury, if I disable the Microsoft keyboard extension, then the regular keys will work but not any of the function keys.
If it won't work with the basic OS extensions then I guess I've been had. I only installed the keyboard and mouse software but got the same problem (function keys work but not regular keys). I finally resorted to installing a clean version of OS9.1 on another partition. I've spent hours with Extension Manager to try and locate a conflict without success. If I can get it to work in OS9 then I think this is a reasonable package. I'm typing this on the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop now using OSX. I'll be trying to find out what is causing the problem. My guess is that I have an extension conflict in OS 9. Everything works fine in OSX so it isn't a hardware problem. I was afraid that the keyboard might be defective. I rebooted several times and tried to move the receiver to other USB ports with no success. All the function keys and multimedia keys work fine but I get nothing when I try all the normal keys. Next I tried to do some typing, Oh, Oh, the main keys on the keyboard do not work. The multimedia switch also allows you to change volume etc. There is a whole whack of programable keys that are already set up. I was really impressed with the keyboard software. I use OS 9.1 most of the time, so I loaded up the software for this version first. I held my nose and decided to buy this thing.
