Perhaps worth mentioning: I've yet to experience the MCE keyboard to work in BIOS. Not crucial, but annoying, nevertheless.

mce keyboard won't work in bios

I have installed the patch, but i can't seem to get the keyboard to work.
Trying to use Hauppauge HVR-1300's IR. Am using XP Pro.
Still have my old wireless keyboard also connected if that's a problem.
Anyone have an solution?

You have to use the official MCE IR receiver. The Hauppage one wont work unfortunately.

I've been looking into getting a wireless keyboard myself for my pvr. I looked to Newegg for reviews, and the consensus seems to be that the MCE wireless keyboard is decent, but the mouse functionality is lacking. I'm thinking about getting this one instead. I'd like to be able to fix MP problems from my couch without needing a laptop and UVNC, so this may be the ticket. I'll report back if I end up getting it.

Hi
I'm using a Logitect Edge keyboard - It has a touchpad and works great. I tried using a Ms mediacenter keyboard but the mouse control was no good.

I just got this keyboard over the weekend.. Works great and its even RF so it doesn't have to be IN_LINE with the receiver. got it for $30-$10 rebate at my local FRYS.

Been using it with no problems.

I use two different keyboards in 2 HTPC and they both work in XP PRO or XP MCE. Neither work in BIOs and I have found only a hardware wired keyb and mouse will do that. 1st one is the MCE Keyboard with thumb mouse that in time and practice works. 2nd one is when I need to do more typing as I have had RSI since 1986 is the MS Bluetooth Split Keyboard and ergo Mouse and this option comes with Bluetooth dongle which adds to your system expandability as I just found it works with my mobile bluetooth!!!!! Most of the time I just use MCE IR remote...
Hope this helps...
