Filco Tenkey FKB22MB not working
« on: Sat, 19 January 2013, 02:55:22 »
I plug it in and the super bright blue light turns on and that is it. No buttons work or do anything at all. Do these things require drivers, or potentially have conflicts with CM QFR boards? Going to plug it into my laptop tomorrow and see if it works.

I'm in windows, and just simply no buttons work. I may have to contact the gentleman that sold it to me and let him know its broke.

Have you tried a different computer?  Different cable (if detachable)?  Tried plugging it in by itself?  A different USB port?  Tried that utility to test keyboard (aquakey or something like that)?

It sort of worked on another computer but the = key does nothing as does the backspace key. On the other computer even the numbers didn't always work. I'll try it with aquakey later. I'm just surprised I never heard how terrible Filco stand alone tenkeys are.

Why would you need a tenkey pad in the first place? :D
