Title: Wireless Keyboards
Post by: Delgado 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  (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DUUF250/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)last year and I've been very happy with it.  I doubt a replacement controller would be cheaper, even if you could find one.

Yes thanks for replies-I guess its a trip to the Dump. I thought as much. I use a bluetooth one now as my new PC has bluetooth.  :thumb:
