Greetings,

I snagged the keyboard portion of the Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth desktop combo for cheap off of ebay (without Bluetooth usb dongle or mouse). I, knowing that Bluetooth is supposedly a universal standard, decided to buy a USB bluetooth dongle for cheap off of ebay to interface with the keyboard. However, so far, the two aren't talking. I followed directions to a "T"...the XTNDConnect Blue software that came with the USB receiver has detected the keyboard, but the keyboard does not operate. I've tried manually detecting the keyboard through the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard in WinXP SP2 and it still doesn't see it.

Any suggestions/input you guys might have would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks in advance, you guys rock. :D
 
My experince with bluetooth "Dongle" software is that it should be ditched.

I've had numrous problems getting bluetooth devices to talk to my bluetooth dongle using the software that came with it if i use teh standard windows software ( remove the other S/W) everything works perfectly.

Used the standard windows software instead of the XTNDConnect that came with the adaptor and now it works fine! Thanks a lot.
