Can anyone tell me how this connects to your PC? Is it all via USB?

Yes, a little dongle connects to the usb port and the keyboard and mouse connect, but its a little tricky if using xp with sp2. If you have SP2 dont install the drivers from the CD, else you should be ok.

OK...I'm using XP SP2....should I download the latest drivers from Belkin before I connect?

Just managed to install these beauties on my lappy that runs XP service pack 2....after readin some of this thread thought I might have to contact the dreaded 'helpdesk' at Belkin (get enough of those fun & games at work!).

Anyways....I tried the install instructions and nothing, but the following has worked for me -

1. Plugged the dongle in and XP found the drivers automatically (tried to manually update from CD but didn't find anything new).
2. Installed the Belkin software for good measure (although I'm sure it's not nesscessary - pressed cancel when it didn't find the dongle btw).
3. Right clicked on Bluetooth icon in task bar (the light blue and white one not the red and blue one) - add bluetooth device....now you're at the bit in the Belkin manual about pairing your device. Should find the keyboard if you press the connect button and same with the mouse.

Hope this helps:j

Hello again

Just a little addition.....if yer running XP service pack 2 you don't need the Belkin cd rom at all.

Just uninstalled the contents and it got rid of the additional blue and red bluetooth icon in the task bar that was telling me I wasn't licesnsed (that will be the xp service pack 2 conflict then)...sorted.

All that should remain is the active 'Bluetooth Devices' icon in the task bar (light blue and white).

not to hijack this thread but was wondering if anyone knows of a wireless keyboard that has a little joystick or something similar attached to it to represent the mouse [as well as having a separate mouse]... this is just if i am sitting back in my chair and want to use the mouse without having to go to my desk...

Can someone help me. I have this all setup ok, but trying to connect my T-mobile MDA Vario. It can identify it, but I want to set it up to be able to browse the web from my PC via bluetooth. I have setup ICS but now a little lost.
