Anyone have any experience with this unit?
We are having problems with this at a client and we're not sure if it has ever worked (old installation) The keyboard functions (pgup, esc) work, but the mouse functions don't...
Hope someone can point me in the right direction

I've had the same problem, and have come to the conclusion that it's one of those cases where you need an alternate solution. AMX abandoned it for a reason. The problem is that the PS2 mouse port is running on a very old chip, and most modern computers, including PS2-USB adapters, are not compatible with it.The mouse portion just doesn't work. My solution, the last time I needed one of these, was to buy an IR remote controlled mouse, and capture the hand held to control it through an IR port. It wasn't a real pretty solution; cursor controls were a bit spotty, but it was enough to get through a typical Powerpoint presentation.

Thanks for the reply
Problem is the customer already has a Gyration set (wireless keyboard + mouse) but because the RF remote also has other buttons for lighting etc, he wants to use that too...
Do you think using an old mouse would work?

Most computers will let you have two mice on them if one is a USB. I'd get an IR USB mouse and use codes on the TXC to control that (which is exactly what I did for my job that needed it - I got the IR mouse from HP online).
