Windows 10: silly bug with microsoft mouse and keyboard software : FAO microsoft

So I had to buy a new mouse after many years. I fancied the look of the 4500 Microsoft one and it's ok but the left side button is too far forward.Anyway, I installed the "driver" software, the several hundred megabyte bloatware package and managed to configure the mouse to work a little better.Why this is needed when windows actually has settings for mice to adjust the wheel speed?!?I should have guessed after 30years of using microsoft, that the microsoft mouse was never actually going to work with the settings in microsoft windows...But it gets worse.The mouse and keyboard software also hij

Microsoft 5050 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Not Detected

Hi,
I have a new Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard 2000 now.
Tried what you suggested with an old keyboard, connected the new one and it's a bit better.
I stll get an error saying the 'MKCHelper.exe' file is missing.
I still can't uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Centre, as it says it is on the PC, but is not listed in the list of software to uninstall.
When I slow the wheel scroll speed down, it works fine, but when I restart the PC I have to do it again, as it speeds up so much I can't control it.

 

Recommend a keyboard/mouse?

Right now I'm looking to get the Logitech MX3200, but was looking at Microsoft Ergonomics Keyboard 4000. But Could not really find a wireless mouse that stood out. I can do with a wired keyboard, but any suggestions on a good wireless mouse?

What would you guys recommend? MX3200 or Microsoft 4000 + whatever wireless mouse
