O.P. Wireless Keyboard
Hello folks,

Not sure if it is meant to do this but, whenever i come to the "Choose Operating System Menu" or choose "Boot Device" menu's after the bios, my wireless keyboard no longer works, neither does my mouse, is there a reason why my wireless keyboard would work everywhere else except these steps?

RE: Wireless Keyboard
Are they USB? If so, there should be "Enable USB Keyboard" and "Enable USB Mouse" options to turn on in BIOS.

RE: Wireless Keyboard
It depends on your BIOS..can be "Advanced", "Peripherals" or something.

The option can also be "Enable legacy USB support".

RE: Wireless Keyboard
I've had bizarre problems at work with USB keyboards during startup, such as working in the BIOS, then cutting out at an OS selection screen/log on screen, etc

All USB options enabled in BIOS, etc.....in the end I just had to use a PS/2 keyboard instead.

That's why at home I've always had USB keyboards/mice plugged through PS/2 converts.....seems pointless wasting 2 USB ports on my computer when there's PS/2 ports that would otherwise sit there doing nothing :P

Don't know if this will effect it, but its a Logitech one where both the mouse and keyboard connect to the same thing, would this cause an issue, and would a PS/2 convert work with this sort of thing?

Mine is logitech and uses the same thing for both the keyboard and mouse, shouldn't cause an issue at all.

I can't say 100%, but i'm 99% sure that mine is using a PS/2 converter

Both of these were unsuccesful. I will suppose i have to look into obtaining a PS/2 Convert from somewhere.
