Microsoft Keyboards and mouse drivers support

Hi!

I've got a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 and Microsoft Wireless
Optical Mouse.

I've tryed to install Windows XP Drivers (IntelliType Pro 5.x) but doesn't
work, doesn't install, got an error message...

May be new drivers will develope? Or Microsoft don't release drivers for his
own hardware products?

Like 99% of the hardware/software vendors, they are likely waiting for the
operating system to go RTM (released to manufacturing). They have multiple
new builds daily. It would be impossible for anyone to keep up. When Windows
XP was first released a few of their own apps had issues. The same thing
occurred at the release of SP2 for XP.

Note: A few manufacturers have tried to keep current (with varying degrees
of success), such as Nvidia and Avast. ATI seems to be falling behind as
evidenced by the number of posts about ATI in these newsgroups.

I seem to have had no issues with the beta drivers. Perhaps just lucky I
guess.

Get Inteelipoint and Intellitype ver 5.5 and head over to this site.
http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/56 I Have them running on 5728. Vista will
object about compatability. Just ignore it.

SWEET!

I didn't have the same "Comfort" Mouse, but a drop-down list contained what
appeared to be every mouse, including mine. Unfortunately scroll-wheel
acceleration no longer appears to be an option, and that was an option I
really liked.
