with, say, a Logitech wireless desktop.



O.K. But how do I convince it to not accept from a second

wireless trackball in the same room? (In particular, how do I convince

it to do that without having it on a Windows system?

I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard and a trackball and ran their

Unifying program to make the keyboard run in parallel on the

trackball's USB transceiver. That works fine, but now the keyboard

won't talk to the dongle it came with.



"Unifying program" -- wants Windows, right? Maybe available for

Apple's OS-X as well. Certainly not for a Sun workstation running

Solaris 10. :-)



Enjoy,

Don - These things enumerate on USB as a keyboard and a mouse, just as if you had wired keyboard and mouse plugged in directly. The wireless part is invisible to the computer. If a "standard" keyboard and mouse work when plugged into the Sun, the wireless versions should, as well. As a previous poster mentioned, there shouldn't be any problem running more than one of these in a room.

If Microcenter is convenient for you, they are (at least around here) very good about refunds if there's a problem.
