Wireless Keyboards
« on: December 14, 2018, 22:13 »
I have a few wireless keyboards with the usb receivers gone missing. Does anyone know if you can buy new receivers, or are these keyboards useless now. Seems a waste if you cant ! >:(

I've not really any idea, as I don't use them, but I guess the keyboard is paired with the receiver.  Is the receiver just a USB dongle?

You can buy a new wireless keyboard for around a tenner nowadays.  I bought one of these last year and I've been very happy with it.  I doubt a replacement controller would be cheaper, even if you could find one.
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.
