I don't see why this wouldn't work for a laptop. USB/Wireless keyboards today are made to work with any laptop as long as it has the right operating system. The only circumstances that a keyboard would not work with your computer is: 1) If you have an incompatible OS (like if you have a Mac and buy a Windows-only keyboard, which still will probably work, just not with any "extra features" the keyboard may have). 2) If the keyboard uses Bluetooth wireless technology and your laptop doesn't. This is something you should check on. Although, most wireless keyboards and mice connect to the computer by a USB stub or base that stays plugged into the computer. Just be sure that if the keyboard uses Bluetooth that your laptop has Bluetooth as well. And... 3) If the keyboard uses a PS/2 port. This is really a kind of out-dated means of connection and a lot of laptops don't even have PS/2 ports anymore as probably more than 90% of all computer keyboards and mice sold in stores today use USB ports or Bluetooth. Most likely the only way you'll get your hands on a PS/2 connecting keyboard is if you look at an off-brand bargain keyboard that is about $10 or less. Anyway, hope this helped you out some! I'm pretty sure this would work for you as keyboards and mice are designed to be widely compatible. But check on those things I mentioned just in case. And you don't have to worry about notice "1)" on this keyboard, because whether you use Mac or Windows - there is a version of this keyboard for each operating system, just be sure you get the right one!

Should work! Every laptop I've plugged it in it worked. I mean, its a usb mouse.

As long as your laptop supports USB HID keyboards it should be fine. You literally just plug and type. I would call Gateway if you have any question about the compatability, or contact the keyboard company. They are very User friendly and customer oriented. I was very impressed with their customer service. I didn't contact them, they contacted me to make sure I liked how it performed.

More likely, if it has two usb ports it should work. However they do sell keyboards and mouse specifially for tablets.

Can't say for sure, but I would think so. It just comes across as a USB keyboard and mouse.

Interesting question. Should work since the mouse receiver is usb and of course the keyboard is usb. The device then attaches the selected usb port to the 'outgoing' usb. I use it to switch between two pc's to a printer.

I am currently using it with a desktop. If the device supports a keyboard has a USB slot and will install the device driver, it should work with it.

If the mouse has a USB Bluetooth transmitter, it should be fine, but the laptop does not appear to have built in Bluetooth or anything.

It is wired like a regular keyboard. It should work the same as when you plug it into a desktop. Just keep in mind that it is missing some of the keys you would expect in a traditional keyboard, which has its ups and downs (so having a laptop keyboard as a backup might be a nice option).

I got mine to work with a keyboard. It will probably work if one side is female standard usb and the male micro usb, but the cord is not very long. I would suggest contacting the seller.

I don't think you will have any compatibility issues with this keyboard. I currently use a Logitech wireless mouse and the both co-exist beautifully.

It should work fine. I have it connected to a windows 8 machine and a windows 7 machine for switching my mouse, keyboard and thumb drive with no problems. Great little device, but every once and a while I need to restart the windows 7 laptop to get it to recognize the keyboard/mouse. I think this is more to do with the power requirement of my K70 keyboard being on the end of a 25 foot USB run rather then a problem with the USB switch.

Operating systems should NOT matter. The only issue is whether or not the machines themselves use USB inputs for keyboard and mouse. Serial ports will not work with this device.

Yes it should. The mouse you currently have is a P/S2 mouse. Those types of mouses are used for desktop computers. You could also try using a P/S2 to USB converter to use it with your laptop.

Yes. It uses USB port, so it should work just fine, provided you have compatible software.
