Hi Eddy,

take care, Bill

Humorous though it is, it doesn't seem like a joke. Gotta be someone doing that. I spose that's why it is a joke.

I have a new Keyboard and Mouse combination It is my third time buying this brand
the last one was purchased in 2016 This new configuration requires that I click the mouse
when I first boot the Windows 7 Dell Precision T7600 If I watch a YouTube video that is
24 min long without touching the mouse the mouse goes to sleep and requires that I click
some button to wake it up With the past products the mouse never went to sleep and if the
computer went to sleep the mouse or keyboard would wake the computer up
I have made these changes
The USB ports under Power Management "Allow Computer to turn off device" is unchecked
Advanced Power management the USB Selective Suspend option is "SUSPENDED"
My guess is that Kensington Pro Fit Wireless Comfort Set has now opted to wire the
mouse and keyboard so that if they are inactive they go to sleep to save the batteries
I am at my wits end trying to correct this behavior
Any Suggestions I am looking at Logitech MK 710 combo but that Hype Scrolling is a turn off

Did the keyboard/mouse set come with software (or refer to getting it online?) This sounds to me like configuring the devices and not your system.

Some later model mouses (or should I say 'mice'?) have this auto turn-off feature to save the battery in case you forget to turn it off. I suggest you accept it and get used to it. In my case it saved me a ton of batteries!  When you start re-using the computer, just hit the scroll wheel to turn on the mouse.

NO Software the manufacture tech support said it was Plug and Play
when I booted the set the first time it told me it was updating driver
which is MS from 2006 because it is W 7 I did not think I could auto find a new driver upload

Recommend logitech wireless MK360 keyboard and mouse combo. Good battery life.
|

I agree on the saving batteries but the aggravation is my old brain is not adjusting to the new concept
|
|
|
|
|
I am spoiled I like the BIG cushion pad at the bottom of the keyboard
hence the MK 710 just not sure about the hyper school function
Any comments on this feature would be more than welcome

this is a great tip.
My DELL T1700 has similar issue: it won't wake up sometimes and I have to unplug the power line.

Southmountain did you happen to buy the T1700 as a refurb ?
I ask because my T7600 had that issue and I switched the wall outlet and that resolved the issue
NO CLUE AS TO WHY

This won't help you, but your story reinforces me into using a cable mouse and keyboard.

I agree with you Marc but My house has carpet everywhere and I live in Arizona so static electricity is a BIG issue I had a MS keyboard with metal around the perimeter and fried a mother board on a old Dell
every now and then I send my thermostat to I quit mode and need to reset it by taking the batteries out

I just got the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse and MX Keys keyboard. It was an early Christmas gift from my wife since my wireless Logitech mouse from (bought in 2003?) died. I much prefer wired mouse and keyboards, but what I really needed in my life was devices that could switch from one computer to another easily. A KVM (without the M) would add a lot more cables to my already buried desk.
* I haven't had any issue with sleep/wake states.
* I got the Anywhere mouse instead of their more expensive one because I use a left-handed mouse. No one makes ergonomically correct left-handed mice.
* It has a software feature for switching between computers, but also a hardware option. Hardware has no issues. Software works, but sometimes it takes a second to switch.
* They are non-replaceable rechargeable batteries. A thunderbolt cable is used to charge them. I figure when the battery goes, then I have a wired mouse & keyboard again.
I've overall happy with my new toys.

Looks like your new keyboard didn't come with any punctuation keys. Sorry about that. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Your joking, right? Its fine by me. I see such mistakes at (supposedly highly educated) native English speakers (I am not one) a thousand times a day. Punctuation? Really? What's that?!
