adafruit product 1738 (wireless keyboard/mouse combo)

Post by natureboy »

Hi...

I've taken delivery on three of this product for various Raspberry Pi and Beagle Bone Black
projects I'm working on.

One of the keyboard/mouse packages came without the batteries promised (happily, the
other two did!).

After a bit of fossicking around, I found the usb dongle.

I'm happy to report the mouse worked OOTB with my Pi. The keyboard, however is
presenting a really fundamental problem: Where is the 'on/off' switch on it? Three
of us here have had a close look but to no avail. FWIW, I'm a Linux/Mac guy, my
wife is a Mac user, and my son--who's quite handy himself--is a Windows/Mac guy
with some Linux. You'd like to think if there's some magic key press combo we'd
have found it?

Sorry to bug you with such a silly question, but it's a bit of a show-stopper in getting
my five-year-old son set up with "his own computer."

Thanks...

Jay
