Can't get 2.4GHz USB keyboard to work

  jds

   I have a keyboard with a USB receiver that works fine on Macs and PCs. But
   nothing happens when I plug it into the C64 mini.

   Any thoughts? I've tried with a more powerful adapter but still nothing.

   Same here. Mine is one of those with a built-in track pad, I was wondering
   if that might have something to do with it. I'm using a Raspberry Pi PSU
   so power should be sufficient.

   I use [2]this one and it works fine. I find the adapter needs to be
   plugged in before powering on the C64 Mini.

   I've tried rebooting, and both ports but to no avail. I'm using a Logitech
   K400R [3]Like this

   [4]mr_appleby That's exactly what I'm using. Tried everything.

   [5]mr_appleby That keyboard I’d reported to work under Ubuntu. But the
   Mini is very stripped down. Do you have a wired keyboard you can try? Or
   other wireless ones?

   [6]@mr_appleby Right - you'd think being a Logitech it would easily be
   compatible. Hopefully a future firmware will sort all this out.

   EDIT - Out of interest , what is your Pi PSU rated at?

   I tried also an ASUS one that is 5v/2a with no change.

   [8]@mr_appleby Sounds like it's just not compatible then. Frustrating.

   [9]RetroBiker re: Ubuntu, yes I previously used the kB with a raspberry pi
   running raspbian, where it was simply plug'n'play. I have spare wired
   ones, they are just currently either in boxes under boxes behind boxes, or
   in my desk at work where I won't be until the end of the week.

   [10]jds Aha, in a way that's good to know. Hopefully support can be added
   as they are a nice little line of keyboards.
