    Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard problem with Vista

    I have an Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and a Logitech V270 Bluetooth Mouse.

    These devices were working fantastic in XP using default drivers.

    Now in Vista Logitech mouse will only work after installing Logitech drivers.

    I pair apple keyboard putting 8 number passkey (I have tested number combinations from 4 to 8 ). Vista recognizes the keyboard and pair with it. But after a few seconds Windows forgets the passkey. This happens in my MacBook 2 running Vista Home x86 and in my desktop running Vista ultimate x64.

    Since I´m started using Logitech own drivers the fact of not having a passkey is not a problem for the mouse anymore.

    But with the keyboard I´m still having problems.

    After pairing the keyboard with a passkey, windows forgets the key and the keyboard still works..

    When I reboot the keyboard it is not recognized anymore.

    So I have to pair it again...

    This is getting very annoying...

    For a moment I though this was caused by faulty MAC drivers, so I tested my dongle form my Thinkpad laptop and tested a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard elite that a friend used in XP.

    Well, I had the same problem with this Microsoft keyboard and the Bluetooth USB dongle that I use in XP. The same problem in both Vista Home x86 and Vista Ultimate x64.

    Any ideas

    Problem fixed under Vista. I just choose Windows to assign the pass key.

    Another development in this matter...

    Since my grilfriend has a MacBook running Vista, I deciced to install Bootcamp drivers in the desktop running Vista that has the apple keyboard. Well the diver worked and now I have native Windows suport for all keys in this apple keyboard.

    Something to remember is that you need Boot camp 1.3 beta or higher for this to work.
