    Zippy EL-610 USB Keyboard
    « on: December 24, 2009, 03:31:19 PM »
    I bought a keyboard to play in the dark!  Don't ask - avid  Trevian player !

    The keyboard has been attached to the following:
    HP Laptop Windows Vista
    PC Windows XP Pro and PC Windows XP
    and all have the same problem.

    When using the keyboard, it lights up, but the characters are not mapped correctly.

    If I type on the usual PC PS2 keyboard :

    Harry Wordsworth the third.

    and on the new Zippy I get:

    Harry W6rdsw6rth the th5rd.

    The same thing happens on the Laptop and both PC's.

    The manual - does not exist - but there is a reference on your web site and on Zippy.com to "USB only device, thus requires BIOS setting changes", but Zippy fail to say what actually requires changing.

    In my BIOS for HP Laptop running Vista, I can find nothing that mentions USB devices and in the PC BIOS again I can find nothing referring to USB or HID's.

    On both the laptop and the PC's, all show two additional HID and two additional USB devices in the device manager.

    HID-compliant consumer control device (Driver HIDserv.dll from Microsoft)
    HID-compliant device

    And two additional USB references:

    USB Human Interface Device (x2) – Probably for the power off and sleep functions on the keyboard.

    It all checks out, but what exactly do I do in BIOS vista or BIOS XP?

    The PC XP pro is SP3.

    Please Help.
