    Hey guys I have a logitech wireless keyboard, i bought it from a garage sale for a quarter, but the guy did not have the other parts. Can i somehow connect it to my laptop? Here is the link to the keyboard. I only have the keyboard, I dont have the mouse or the usb adapter. Thanks Ivan

    You cannot connect it to the laptop, since it's not BlueTooth, and therefore, cannot connect by any other way except for the adapter.

    You might be able to get an adapter for it, but I'm not entirely sure about how you go about doing so.

    I suggest contacting Logitech and see what they recommend.

    you will have to buy the adapter
    doesn't look like it does BT, only RF
    plus, if you get the adapter, you will need a PS2 to USB converter because the HP notebooks dont have PS2 ports (i think they're used by the touchpad)

    also, it might end up costing you more to get the adapter than to buy a new wireless keyboard/mouse set
