    Wireless keyboard with laptop

    Does anyone know if you can use a wireless keyboard with a laptop. The laptop's bios doesn't have the ability to disable the standard keyboard, so would this still work?

    Yes, I think you should, it you have a mouse pad, you don't have to disable it to use a external mouse, as long as you have a plug to plug in your external keyboard than I would think it would work.
    Thank You,

    My laptop works with wireless mouse and keyboard together. You can use either the built in or the wireless. No need to disable one.

    Thanks guys. It's for my wife. I noticed the bios had an option to disable the built in mouse (touchpad), if using a ps2 mouse. She's using a usb mouse right now and I didn't have to change anything in the bios. I'm going to get her a wireless keyboard/mouse combo for christmas. And probably a new printer with wireless print server. Then I can print from the garage, too.
