FAQs

Does the keyboard require special drivers?

For basic keyboard functionality, it is plug-and-play. However, the smart card reader functionality may require specific drivers provided by your organization or card issuer to communicate with security software.

Is the keyboard spill-resistant?

No, the keyboard is not rated for spill resistance. Please keep liquids away from the device to prevent circuit damage.

Can I use this with a laptop?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the card is inserted fully and facing the correct direction. Check that your security software or middleware is correctly configured and the device is detected in the Device Manager.

Keyboard keys are unresponsive

Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to a different port. Test the keyboard on another machine to determine if the issue is hardware-related or software-related.
