Question 3

I want to use this with an old stand alone Windows XP machine (no internet).  This is replacing another Microsoft keyboard.  Can I get the drivers that I will need?

Accepted Answer

I have a 13" Dell Laptop running all the Office, Email and other Engineering tasks. I use a Desktop at 90 degrees mostly for running Cad. Because it is cost-effective and works the CAD program is from the mid 90's and runs nicely on Windows XP. The Laptop is also running Windows XP for the same CAD package.

The are Graphics, text and functions such as the window control that use key combinations. The mini keyboard does not support any of those special functions. So I bought this wired keyboard some years back. I plugged the USB keyboard cable into the Laptop and was off and running. I did not have to install or make any changes.

When I go on the road, I take the 13" Dell. I do not bring the keyboard and I am not able to run CAD on this Laptop while out of the Office. But when I return to the Shop, I reconnect all the variuos wires and am up and running on the fly. This has been as plug and play as it gets.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Question 4

Are the keys quiet, not that clicky sound?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I think you're always going to hear your keys. A friends Dr. recommended this for her. She is having problems with her wrist. She keeps switching back & forth so, I can't say how it's working for her! Julie

Accepted Answer

Actually, it's quite long enough, like 5-6 feet length.

Question 6

can i use wired 600 desktop keyboard to a dell laptop?

Accepted Answer

All you need is an open USB port or the willingness to buy a USB hub to create n-1 more ports. USB hubs can be daisy chained to a total of 127 devices, but I doubt that has ever been tested. Also, most computers and laptops have no problem with more than one keyboard and mouse connected.

Where is it made?

China, as many many computer parts are. A lot of computer components are made somewhere in Asia. It is a good board.

Question 8
