I've run into a few computers that won't recognize a USB keyboard (or
mouse) until Windows is loaded. Sometimes they won't even work when
Windows is running in safe mode. This can be a problem if you want to
change settings in the BIOS, or need to work in safe mode. PS2
keyboards don't have this issue.
 
loading the bios default by shorting the jumper in some cases enables legacy USB hopefully, lets you get started.

Is there any patch that allows you to change BIOS when using the Microsoft
wireless Bluetooth devices?
 
A 'patch' ,as it were, is run from the OS and bios is not(conventionally) able to be access from there. Maybe a bios update/flash.
What is the problem with the BT device?
 
Both. I think it really does not matter. How fast does a keyboard have
to be. How much data can a keyboard handle in one second? You can buy a
keyboard that can do both. I find a PS2 Keyboard is fast enough so there
is no point as to what is fastest.

You can't enter the BIOS using Bluetooth devices, regarding the Wireless
destop Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo from Microsoft.
 
PS2 ALL THE TIME.

USB uses toooooo much CPU time, slows your system down 10% or more in
most cases.

If you must us USB, put it on stuff you turn on and off, printers ect.

Or better yet use Firwire, or atleast USB 2.
 
Ive got 6 USb ports would be 8 if my Keyboard was connected top the
USB :)

But PS2 it is.

Only Printer and Flight stick is USB, and MODEM @*&@^@*87@, the next
one will be ethernet :)
