Post Do wireless mice and keyboards not work with BSD?

Hi all.

Without going into detail, it would seem that my M$ wireless keyboard and mouse do not work with either FreeBSD or PC-BSD.

So my question is what brand (logitech etc) and what type (usb or ps2) of keyboard and mouse work with either FreeBSD or PC-BSD?

Cheers
Mark

They should work without problems. What's the exact problem?

Most work, some do not. Goes for Logitech as well as MS. You must be more specific if you want to know more.
