Does the wireless receiver work when plugged into a USB dock, or does it need to be plugged directly into a computer?

It will work just fine in a dock, but I found that it can't be shielded by too much metal to work well. I had it plugged in the back of a desktop computer USB port and the mouse was not moving smoothly until I brought it up higher and closer to the desk with a hub.

It does. I run it plugged into my monitors USB port, and it also works when plugged into my USB hub. Great keyboard, very recommended.

My old MS Natural 7000 claimed a "padded palm rest" which turned out to be a little thicker than a layer of paint with just about as much cushion. How thick is the palm rest padding on this unit?

I have not tried doing that but I can tell you that I've plugged this into front-facing USB ports on my tower PC and it works just fine. This is a great keyboard, feels great since I went from an ergonomic 4000 to this.

It will only work with a computer. It plugs into the USB port and takes the place of your regular wifi antenna.

It does not come with a wireless receiver. Luckily it has plenty of USB ports. Purchase a USB wifi adapter (Some available on Amazon for about $15). Insert the adapter in an available USB slot, install the driver software and you can be wireless ready in less than five minutes.

The cable that plug into the headset serves only as a charging cable. The end of the cable is also marked with a battery icon. Removing the USB wireless receiver from the dock also disconnects the headset even when the headset is plugged in via the cable. This headset sends and receives audio over a wireless connection, so NO IT DOES NOT. The other answers are talking about the charging cable. I've been using my G930's for just under six months and haven't experienced connectivity issues not caused by myself. I've knocked the dock off my desk and it disconnected momentarily though immediately reconnected. disconnecting and reconnecting the USB receiver reconnects just a quickly (unless the driver crashes. You can manage to restart the G930 software and it will fix the issue though it isn't always your friend.). Issues might occur if one plugs the receiver into the back of their computer. I have my receiver in the dock on top of my desk. I greatly recommend this headset.

this is a bluetooth device and thus requires drivers, it will not function before the operating system loads. the included usb adapter requires a usb port or a port on a connected hub. check your operating system for compatible driver availability. short answer is "it depends on your OS."

the mouse works wirelessly only if the charging dock is connected to the pc. the charging dock is not small, and it's a shame that this mouse does not have a nano transceiver.

My understanding is that it's supposed to take the output form any hdmi and transmit it wirelessly. As long as the computer display and an HDMI out, it should work.

No! if you have a wireless mouse plug the transmitter/receiver into one of the USB ports on the computer!

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This receiver doesn't have wireless capabilities but, it does have a USB port on the front panel and I know that there are headphones that are wireless with a USB adapter. So, that could be an option for you. I am very happy with the receiver

This device must be connected by coaxial cable, and as such will not work as a wireless device. This device will also not function as a cable box. The unit will not decode any signal, just transmit a signal on a channel of your choosing.

I have both a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. The mouse receiver is plugged into a USB port rear of computer. The keyboard receiver is contained within the USB plug , which is plugged into another port in the front of he computer.Even though I have multiple USB ports front & back, the keyboard works best (sensitivity) plugged into the front.

Haven't tried. USB wireless receiver works fine and is nearly invisible, though.

Hi,This device should be compatible with most computers. I use mine as a wireless receiver, it works well. Setup was simple

Idk, haven't tried it. I keep the dock plugged in my living room. I rarely use my computer...

It needs to be plugged in to the transmitter for it to work wirelessly This is not a Bluetooth device but it does work with the cord nicely. The receiver is USB 2.0 with a 3.5 mm male adapter if you want to plug your phone in to the wireless connection.

It uses a little USB wireless transceiver. If you have an unused standard USB port on the notebook, you should have no problem.
