1386953 2014-10-28 00:14:00 Well I've got my old keyboard and mouse going again, as I bought a USB to PS/2 adapter. But the media keys aren't working.

The keyboard is labtec media wireless keyboard 800 (keyboard only, I'm using a wired A4tech mouse)
6002

Any thoughts on how to maybe get them working again, Or is this just due to it being too old technology?

1386955 2014-10-28 02:02:00 Nope no luck. When I press the media buttons, it just does random things. Like scrolling through my playlist and icons etc.. goodiesguy (15316)
1386956 2014-10-28 02:21:00 Hmm looks like its a Logitech, they own Labtech. Cant do much if they dont work then Speedy Gonzales (78)
1386957 2014-10-29 03:28:00 Oddly though, the sleep button worked. Even more odd, when I press the calculator button, it thinks it's the F key, but the F key itself is fine. The home button thinks it's the M key. Mute now thinks its D. Volumes up and down think they C and B. Fast foward is P. Play and stop are G and J.

It's as almost as if they're wrongly mapped, and I've since even uninstalled the labtech software.

1386959 2014-10-29 04:06:00 I bought a USB to PS/2 adapter By any chance is the Adapter being used to convert usb-PS2 on the keyboard ? If so use it as a USB keyboard, those adapters often muck things up if on a keyboard. If its for the Mouse its usually OK. wainuitech (129)

Nope, Both my keyboard and mouse are PS/2 only, otherwise I wouldn't have needed the adapter at all.
