Microsoft wireless keyboard 3000

posted by alancharles on Dec 07, 2007


I just installes a Microdoft Wireless Keyboard and it is working fine with my windows applications, However an application that I constantly use is Linux based and some of the function keys are not working. F1 and F2 are working, but F4 and F5 are not. Is there a solution, or is the keyboard just not compatible with Linux?

not all microsoft keyboards are compatable with linux the best keyboard that is compatable with linux and windows is the Cherry CyMotion Master Linux keyboard it was relesed in oct this year.

The Linux keyboard has the Linux penguin logo, Tux, instead of the Windows start key and features 29 hot keys. The hot keys are configured for the Linux operating system and desktop applications, simplifying actions such as cutting, copying and pasting text, and moving between Web pages.

it costs around £29.99 i have one my self its great for linux.
