    "Good features/poor connectivity"

    by Ex_Brit on October 21, 2007

    Pros: Excellent features, solidly made

    Cons: Connectivity issues prior to log-on

    Summary: I have the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 set and am finding its features excellent except it doesn?t always want to work - or at least the keyboard is very temperamental.
    I triple boot and although the mouse will remain connected the keyboard never works until you are logged in and even then I often have to remove/reinstall the KB in the Bluetooth Devices interface. Keep a wired KB handy!
    Also why is there a NUMLOCK when there is no numeric keypad?
    Why does it have both software and hardware Bluetooth connection settings?
    A user manual might be an idea. The help files aren?t much help at all.
    Noone seems to have even heard of it on the Microsoft Newsgroups.

    ---yes it does have one so I retract that comment.
