Software Issues
Some special features of the wireless devices – like quick access keys on a keyboard or additional buttons on a mouse–require special software to drive their operation. Although most wireless keyboard and mouse devices work with computers right out of the box. Users who report issues with these features often have incorrectly loaded the software, or failed to install the software. In some extreme instances, the device’s special features are rendered unusable, as the software may be altogether incompatible with the computer’s operating system.
