What's actually happening in my case is that the interface includes both keyboard and mouse and the mouse isn't being recognized. They apparently omitted and/or disabled any mouse drivers with the Tablet OS. My keyboard works normally, however. (The Gyration is the only USB keyboard I have.) You don't mention whether you went ahead and tried to use the keyboard or just gave up when you saw the messages. If you're lucky, it might work in spite of the error messages like mine does. If not, it probably means that whatever hardware and/or software enables the keyboard to utilize the memory function doesn't react 100% like a standard keyboard when the OS initiates handshaking. There's not much you can do about that, unless you can write and install your own driver...
