Holy crap, I ordered it Tuesday afternoon and it was here Wednesday morning. WTF? The guy must have been halfway out the door when I placed my order!

Okay, so I finally got it from UPS this morning (after not being home the first 2 delivery attempts). It doesn't look like there's a CTRL or SPACE key. I use my keyboard a lot of CTRL+A (select all) when dealing with files. Is this possible with this? By the way it doesn't come with any drivers but people are saying it's just plug and play.
Oh and for some reason I didn't have to pay duty fees. WTF?

Am I the only one still posting in here? I tried hooking this up to the PS/2 slot via a USB-PS/2 converter but it doesn't work. The light on the USB unit doesn't even come on. But when I plug in a wired keyboard it works fine, is there a way around this?

It is just that, "plug n play". Plug it in and it will do everything itself. No drivers needed. It is a generic HID device.
For the Ctrl A feature, use autohotkey as mentioned earlier in this thread. It works great. I have set up ctrl-alt-del, close, alt-tab, alt f4, etc.
As for the USB to PS2 adapter... if it is not working, you need to find a USB port to plug it into. This is a HID device, not necc a USB keyboard. What you are trying doesn't seem possible with this device.
I should add this info for some as I didnt realize this myself... This keyboard is thicker than you may realize. It is ~.65" thick or so. Not nearly as small or thin as the wired USB version many people have and the mp3car store sells. It is about 3x as thick and 1.5x as big. The keys are also larger and stick up more. Also, the casing is white/gray on all of the surfaces except the very top that you see in the pictures. These factors aside, I think this is a very good choice... it fits the bill for what I was looking for at least. 2.4ghz has very good range and doesn't have the pairing issues that BT stuff does.
Highly recomended!

That sucks, I was hoping to keep my last USB port free by using the converter. Thanks for the rest of the information though.

FYI - Well BMW drivers actually, or to be more specific E36 owners.
This fits nicely in the centre console, will just need a little box to raise it a bit but it is a nice snug fit. Will take pics 2morrow and post.

or if I want to hide it when the armrest is down.
Although I am tempted to do a little cover over the top that can slide back and forth down the centre storage unit.

Local EBgame has a few on their shelf. I'm not sure if I like to get one of this or not giving that I don't really like the "wired" version of this keyboard (PITA to type anything). I use the gygration keyboard and love it. Fit nicely in the glove box.

I have the gyration as well and will see if they can be connected at the same time, only one being used at a time though. Just think it would be nice if you just need to type a small amount while driving (ie at a red light, not while actually moving)
