Keyboard and mouse are indeed closely related, and the way they are 
acting in new systems depends alas heavely on the systems's bios. And 
alas system bios if not only different  from brand to brand, but also 
different with the mobo's of the very  same manufacturer, within the 
very same type. For  instance,  Aopen  AK77Pro and Aopen AK77-333 don't 
even come close anymore (the Aopen AK77Pro was the "233" preceder of the 
"333") .
I'm afraid good old times are gone away: from now with every new device 
or even type of device on we'll have to ask whether it will work 
properly or not.

To give you a clue: The Aopen and even Epox I am speaking about, now 
have a "feature" to alter the system's bios when Windy is running.  For 
most of it's new mobo Aopen even does't care anymore to provide *.rom 
file. You have the choice or to run a Windy32 *.exe or to walk away.

The result of all of this of course is, as I mentionned earlier,  
erratic behaviour is almost standard feature these days .
