Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary
technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a
Microsoft Agent or
Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an
official
Microsoft global customer service number.
I have a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard V1.1 and a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000. (I actually have 2 set s of these.) These came together as a bundle years ago. Both work great and have never had any issues. Unfortunately I have found out
that the keyboard is not compatible with the new Mouse and Keyboard Center, though I HAVE found a way to make both work properly & be able to program BOTH with Windows 8.1.
First do NOT attempt to use the Mouse and Keyboard center as the keyboard is NOT compatible. If you have installed this software go into "Control Panel" & "Programs and Features" and uninstall.
