Setup with New IBM Wireless Desktop
Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 10:47 pm
I just got a new(er) IBM wireless keyboard and mouse for my setup at home, and figured I'd take some pics. Now I just need a pair of IBM monitors, instead of Dells!

I got the keyboard and mouse, brand new in an OEM box, from this seller on eBay for a little less than $40 with shipping. There was no CD included, so I had to get the drivers and software from IBM's site of course to customize the multimedia buttons and all. But, not a big deal really and still a great price considering current wireless keyboard/mice setups go for $100 or more in the stores.ambientscape wrote:Awesome!! How much for the keyboard?

Looks like an HP 4L printer and a flatbed scanner.gator wrote:Is that a ham radio in the left of the pic?

Do you have the exact mouse references, I found a fr reseller for the whole pack but I would like to get the mouse without the keyboard. Is a model number written underneath?cinemafia wrote:I just got a new(er) IBM wireless keyboard and mouse.
See the problem is this only works as a set...yeah, I know, sounds crazy, but trust me. There's a specific way you have to 'associate' the keyboard and mouse with the wireless transciever, and try as you may, one will not work without the other.Ache wrote:Do you have the exact mouse references, I found a fr reseller for the whole pack but I would like to get the mouse without the keyboard.

Each of these was about a 4-second exposure, so yeah, it was on a tripod alright!Torque wrote:Good pictures, too. Low light, yet you must have kept the ISO down. Did you use a tripod?
