Control Questions - How to broadcast Wireless... if possible

(NOT Bluetooth)

Ya know I should have clarified that, I would hope no one would drop the money on a bunch of bluetooth receivers, but you never know.

sounds awesome, works with mice too?

So i should buy Make/Model XX/XX of a keyboard/mouse, then contact a repair/supply shop and order extra receivers?

IIRC you can buy logitech receivers directly from Logitech for not very much. Not sure about other manufacturers.

Ya i rang logitech and they told me they dont stock receivers for my MX Rev Wireless mouse (its 1 yr old)

However if i purchased a new mouse then i may have some luck, but evan then they said they cant provide the spare part, it needs to be supplied via a warranty practice, so they would need the old receiver to replace it.

So i'm thinking about just buying two brand new mice, and two new keyboards, both wireless, and jsut hope that they will snyc.

The pc stores i spoke to said my plan will not work, because the recievers will only make connection with 1 device, however from what i read on the forums it does seem possible, so all i can do is try i guess. If it dont work then at least my gf can get a new mouse / Keyboard :P

Again i have been on the phone to a few pc stores, and they all tell me the same thing, a specific mouse is pared with a specific receiver, has anyone just purchased 2 mice of the same model and had 1 mouse broadcast to 2 receivers?

Digging up old post. Nothing answers my problem and I am thinking what I bought just won't work.

I bought 4 of these:

The connection button on the reciever and the keypad do not say "connect", they say "reset".

I plugged in two recievers to two different computers, hit each reciever's reset key. With both recievers blinking, I hit the reset key on the keypad. One reciever will connect, but not the other. If I hit reset again and connect the other reciever, then I loose connection with the first one. Also tried hitting the reset button on the keypad and then ...at the same time, hit the reset on both recievers...only one connects. Am I missing something? Right now, I am thinking the damn thing resets itself each time you hit the "reset" button .....cause, thats what reset means ...which is not good :cursing: . What else could I do? I don't see a way to change things in control panel. And, if this doesn't work out, what is a tried and true wireless usb keypad that will diffinently work?

No idea mate, i gave up boxing because there is not a solution out there atm, that allows you to avoid using the /follow macros.

/follow macros + a multiplex software just doesn't cut it , the more integrated fights in the new WOTLK Content requires so much movement and if a char is lagging behind using /follow they just get pwnt.

Until i can find a method that works i'm out of the game which sucks, such a waste of money.

You want an IR keyboard for this. Bluetooth and most newer RF keyboard/mouse use encryption which makes a connection between the two so you can't operate more then one machine with the device. Infra red simply sends out the signal which can operate practically an unlimited number of machines.

It's bluetooth? Where do you see that? When I bought it, I knew about not getting bluetooth and thought I did (not get BT). However, the receiver does say PID: BT750DG which could be bluetooth and whatever freq. But no where do I see it saying it is bluetooth otherwise. Oh well, it is an excellent keypad outside of broadcasting, although my big laptop already has a built in keypad and my small one...if I am using I am not carrying around much else. Looks like I got 4 keypads to give away.

[Aluxx]

he aint saying those pads are blue tooth just that they have encryption. I dont agree with the terminology, but from ym research 99% of the wireless keyboard receivers these days only accept 1 connection and this is hard coded.
