Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Is anyone using either of these with FreeBSD?

Many thanks again!
 
The 2.4GHz USB nano receiver should make it behave like an ordinary USB mouse.
 
k.jacker Thanks, for the confirmation about the wired version. I was originally leaning towards getting the wired version but my local computer shops have limited stock and only seem to stock the wireless version.

SirDice Thanks, but if I take a gamble and it doesn't work, will you point me right direction so that I can write a patch?
 
You don't need a patch, it's a USB mouse. It just looks different.
 
Sorry for the late reply folks. I've been busy with work and haven't had a chance to test it until now.

Used the USB dongle. Works without a problem. Didn't have to change a single setting. :)

Code: 
sudo dmesg | tail -n 6
ugen2.11: <Kensington Expert Wireless TB> at usbus2
ums1 on uhub5
ums1: <Kensington Expert Wireless TB, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.02, addr 10> on usbus2
ums1: 5 buttons and [XYZT] coordinates ID=2
uhid0 on uhub5
uhid0: <Kensington Expert Wireless TB, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.02, addr 10> on usbus2


Thanks again SirDice and k.jacker

You're in luck mine works, but when I hold the left button, if I move the cursor, the left push turns off. So it is impossible for me to move and resize a window, to scroll, to make a multiple selection etc. I've been stuck with this for 3 days.
 
cedrios Let's make sure we're talking about the same device.

Run this as root

usbconfig dump_device_desc | grep -A16 Kensington\ Expert

Code: 
ugen2.5: <Kensington Expert Wireless TB> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

  bLength = 0x0012
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001
  bcdUSB = 0x0200
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0020
  idVendor = 0x047d
  idProduct = 0x8018
  bcdDevice = 0x0102
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Kensington>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <Expert Wireless TB>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

Let me know if your results are the same as above.
