Wireless USB Keyboard & Mouse in Gentoox

Post by bobbyaustin »

As I am gonna buy a wireless mouse and keyboard setup for Gentoox this weekend.

I was wondering if there was a list of supported devices, or if anyone could post there working setups for me so I have an idea of what to buy.

There is not much choice in the UK but I don't want to buy an unsupported device so your help would be great.

Cheers Bob.

I use Logitech® Cordless Desktop® MX and the standard cordless desktop, both work with no problem.

I do fancy getting the new bluetooth desktop though :lol: not sure if that works!

I use both logitech cordless keyboard and wireless trackman optical mouse, bought separately (that means 2 receiver on the xbox). I use a small 4 port hub to use only 1 port on xbox. I also use the same setup on my PC. Works great!

wait , that shouldn't work , /me thinks , i thought the usb board doesn't let you component stack since the usb port sees the controller as 2 ports already due to the memory card being a hub.. /me is confused.. can you run multiple devices off of each port?

My understanding was that in linux yes you could, but to my surprise my keyboard also works in evox even though it is on the same usb port as a mouse!?
