Acer wil-172 wireless keyboard --anyone use ?

The problem I've had is with the pointing device--I bought 3 qtronix
wireless keyboard/trackball combos; the keyboards work fine, but
the trackballs either give no response at all, or send the pointer
randomly all over the screen accompanied by random button clicks,
along with various error messages from the psm driver. The theory
I've come up with is that when the keyboard has all those strange
"multimedia" buttons all over it, a driver may be needed for them
AND for the pointing device.

The Acer WIL-172 doesn't have any of those buttons, and Acer doesn't
supply a driver for it on their web site, so I *think* that it may
be safe to use under FreeBSD.

I've used a couple of Logitech Cordless things. They don't complain. If
they're PS/2, they should work as ordinary 'wired' keyboards. I've never had
trouble with any Logitechs... I've just bought a Cordless Desktop Optical,
and am looking forward to hooking it up to my FreeBSD box at home ...
