HP wireless keyboard driver
This might be a question for programming...but
I have these HP wireless keyboard/mouse units. You plug them into an xp machine and they work fine, but none of the buttons across the top work, like buttons for applications, web pages etc.
The one feature it does have across the top that I want is a volume control knob and a mute button. Which for my music setup would be really nice to have.
One time the volume control was working.
I tried different drivers but haven't had any luck. In control panel If I delete the HID driver (under keyboard) then the volume control works like I want. Unfortunately then the keyboard doesn't work.
My friend got these with some computers he bought but he didn't like them and gave them to me.
It has a part number on the back but I think that is for the computer system as a whole. 5187-5993
FCC ID E5xkb5219urf2
model 5219urf 2+
I have a shuttle control that reads keystrokes and it sees the volup voldown mute messages when I turn the knob or press mute but it's not hooked up to the system contols. So some type of 3rd party software might do the trick...
Any help appreciated
Thanks

"Well anyway, think I'll put up this driver on driverguide.com"
That is an excellent idea. I'm glad you went to the trouble to contact HP... I searched their site by model number and came up empty too, this must be a product they don't care about very much, but it's sad to see their online support is lacking in this way.

It is so nice to have a real volume control in DAW setup, I don't want my monitors tore up!
Thanks for all the help.
I had searched google and found lot of people looking for the same thing and found some older drivers but nothing that worked.
I had searched HP.com but came up with less than nothing. I wrote them then asked you guys. I was going to use the driver from driverguide.com because I think it would have done the trick when HP wrote me back and told me about an updated version of the one on driverguide. That's what I used and it worked.
It would be nice if you could search their site with the model number of what you need...
Well anyway, think I'll put up this driver on driverguide.com
