Sorry, we can only guarantee that the original keyboard will work since we tested it on them, but we can’t guarantee that other brands of peripherals will work properly.

ok well than I have to see if there is any way to get the touch panel to work fully, aka being able to see the mouse pointer and being able to use the left and right click.
