Wedge readers rely on the decoder chip in the keyboard so they require a keyboard hooked up. Just hooking the wedge reader right into the laptop keyboard port won't cut it.
There might be some wedge readers out there that have the keyboard decoder built in, I haven't researched that aspect.

It works just as you described. On a laptop, since there is not a connector between the computer and the keyboard, there used to be some special considerations (I can't remember if it could be made to work -- perhaps with an external keyboard installed...)
