Got this keyboard.
It is just the right size, the feel of the keys is just right. It works on the PI (what I bought it for) and on XP but not on W7. W7 says it can't find the driver. I'd like to occasionally use it on W7. How do I find out what W7 doesn't like?

There is nothing in the eventvwr under hardware events.
 
The only driver windows 7 should need is the driver for the usb chipset. Anything else should be supplied by plugging in the device. Does it say it is USB certified? Windows 7 Compliant?
 
Doesn't have any of those tags so I guess it is not USB certified or W7 compliant. Oh well, never mind.
