Re: Wireless Natural Laser Mouse and Keyboard 7000 - tip

Possibly the onboard USB controller has an issue however
its more likely you used a Non-powered Port on the computer.
If your machine has more than 4 USB ports then only 4 are
powered. Using the monitor's ports is like using a powered
USB Hub.
