I have and have only ever had THIS one keyboard and THIS one mouse with this OS installation.Īll of the DevMgr items mentioned above are functional. Lastly, there’s a Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Detection Driver (USB) under Universal Serial Bus controllers. There’s also a Microsoft Hardware USB Keyboard and a Microsoft Hardware USB Mouse under ‘Human Interface Devices’. But removing these sounds like it would actually disable the mouse & keyboard. So, should I uninstall the Mouse and Keyboard Center? How? DevMgr does show, under “Mice and other pointing devices”, a “Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Mouse (Mouse and Keyboard Center)” similarly a “Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Keyboard (Mouse and Keyboard Center” under Keyboards. The only real glitch is that every time a patch or update is issued for mouse or keyboard by Microsoft, I get the ‘No Device Detected’ message when the install process gets to the part that calls the Mouse and Keyboard Center (I can also get it by calling the Center from the Control Panel app). It happens I have a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard, both of which show up on your ‘unsupported’ list above (why doesn’t that surprise me…).


The latest version of the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center can be downloaded from the official Microsoft Hardware web page. Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth Keyboard.Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer with Fingerprint Reader.Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth.Consult the following table for a full list: Unsupported Mice As far as keyboards go, there are a few that are not supported a swell. As far as Mice go, you will notice that mice like the Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000, the IntelliMouse Optical or the IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 are not supported by the Mouse and Keyboard Center. Some devices may not be supported by the Mouse and Keyboard Center You can check mice and keyboard compatibility on this troubleshooting page. You need to make sure that it is connected to the PC at the time, and if you are using Bluetooth devices, you need to make sure the connection has been set up before you start the program. When you start the program after installation you will notice that it will automatically detect the installed hardware. Not only can it be launched from the Windows 8 start screen, its interface resembles other configuration screens of the Windows 8 operating system as you can see from the screenshot above. One can see immediately after startup that the program has been designed with Windows 8 in mind.

A 32-bit and 64-bit version of the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center is provided by Microsoft which both provide the same functionality.
