What difference does it make if you used the mouse on a laptop or a desktop? lol

Laptop is right in front of you. My PC Tower is off in a corner, near the floor. Not exactly direct laser view of the reeiving single.

I don't know of any wireless desktop components that use infrared now. Everything should us RF, fast RF, or bluetooth. Line of sight does not matter.

There is an option in my BIOS to enable USB keyboards. When I was troubleshooting a different problem, I had the same issue as OP. Search your BIOS and see if you have a similar option.

Unfortunately I'd be surprised if hitting DEL / F2 / whatever to access the BIOS works with this option disabled [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

OP will need to purchase a $5 PS2 keyboard imo.
