Happy New Year all, I went and made the dumbass mistake of buying a marked-down wireless keyboard at Microcenter the other day (that makes 4 of 6 (IIRC) marked down or closeout items I've bought there that were incompatible or broken). It's a Belkin F8E832-BNDL.
So I plugged it in and nothin' happened. Both the keyboard and the mouse were signalling transmission but the reciever showed nothing. There's a purple PS/2 keyboard plug and a USB with a green mouse PS/2 adapter. I tried it with both PS/2s and with USB-only, per the instructions, but it just sat there lifeless. I called Belkin support, and their answer was "we don't support Linux." I asked him if the transmitter was transparent, and if the devices were handled by standard PS/2 drivers. He said they don't support Linux. So I asked him how I could figure out if the transmitter was working or not and he said they don't support Linux. Anyway, the transmitter's not working, and it's my own damn fault for buying an "orange ticket" item to save a few bucks. So I've got to return it. I really like the looks of the Belkin MediaPilot http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0228206 but am a little remiss about Belkin based on their tech support. I know the MediaPilot is USB, and I've seen a few acounts of people running them for Myth. Anyone have any first hand experience with this piece? Anyone have anything positive (or negative) about Belkin products in general? Anyone have any recommendations for a small wireless keyboard, preferably with built-in pointer? _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
