you should be using the USB mini that was in the box for it, then it should be plug and play
It never came with one it worked in windows with out one
I bought one thanks so much
I have a very strong preference for wired peripherals. Yes, it means dealing with wires. At the same time, they're more reliable and don't need to be charged. Or, even better, you don't have to replace batteries.

Amen to using wired peripherals
@KGIII / @Condobloke :-
David / Brian:- I gave up on wired peripherals a long time ago for one simple reason.....because my bedroom - where the main HP desktop rig resides - is what you might call "bijou". In other words, it's small, compact, and space is at a premium.
The bed's down the centre of the room....and the desk is along one wall. I use the bed as my seat; from here I can reach the keyboard, but a cable would get tangled up with all the other stuff on the desk.....and I'm not trying to operate a wired mouse from that far away. Nor would I try to use a wired mouse the way I prefer.....since I use the duvet beside me as a giant mousepad. Might seem an odd way of doing things, but I operate the mouse beside me on the bed.....and a wireless mouse is more practical. Most of mine are rechargeable anyway; the VicTsing will last around 6 weeks between charges. The Trust Ozaa+ is a little less, at around 5 weeks.....but the Logitech MX Master 2S will go a full 3 months.
It's the exact same reason I switched to a wireless headset.....because I've nearly tripped over the damn cable more than once! But not just ANY wired headset; I don't like Bluetooth, so I spent quite a while searching for one with a USB 2.4 GHz dongle.....and this brought additional benefits. The SOMiC GS401 full-cup headset I eventually settled for has its own audio card built in to the rather chunky dongle.....which makes setting the thing up a breeze under Puppy's ALSA. It's literally USB pNp...

After the wreck, I put a full blown PC in my room. It fits comfortably on my night stand, which still has room for a drink. (Said drink has ended up in the keyboard, but that's okay -- they'll keep making keyboards.)
Everything is wired. When I had the house built, I planned ahead. I have an ethernet jack in almost every room.
All I need to is roll over on my side (near the edge of the bed), and I've got a computer ready to go. It does only have a 32" monitor, but it's curved so it takes up less space. As I take strong sleepy meds, this has led to me sometimes waking up to find said computer in a state where I do not recall leaving it.
I think the whole 'ethernet everywhere' thing was a solid idea.
Ok thanks I found a dangle for it so we will see
I also use a Wired set up on my main computer, but also have a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse [new cost less the £10 from china] which i use when i connect the lappy to the TV and use instead of 81/2 ft [2.5 mt] of cable running across the floor]
The only time I use a laptop is when I need to be mobile. Carrying around a mouse and keyboard kind of takes away from that whole 'mobile' thing. Sure, it can be done, but I don't bother doing so.
That said, it does take me a good 15 minutes to get used to using the touchpad and refamiliarize my muscle memory for typing on a laptop's keyboard. If I'm on a laptop, I'm not able to type at quite the same speed. After a bit of time, I get faster -- but I never reach the speeds I reach on a full-blown keyboard.
I used a laptop regularly when I was working, with the work far from home for a week or more at a time. A desktop just wasn't feasible. After I retired I used desktops for years, but recently I switched back to a laptop for almost everything. I got tired of being locked to one place for computing, and having insufficient interaction with my wife. With the laptop I can sit in the same room with her and compute while she watches TV, or carry on a conversation, whatever we want at the time. I converted my desktop to a headless file server, and the monitor is in storage. I don't notice any difference in typing speed between either computer/keyboard. I generally use a trackball for pointing, but I can use the trackpad well enough if needed. This works for me, but my needs are rather simple these days.
To that end, I have multiple desktops.
To that end, I limit how long I'm online -- and keep the meatspace as my priority. I'm usually here for a bit, and then regularly check the site after I haive caught up. Today is a good example, we had important things to do, so I wasn't online until now. I'll still leave at the same approximate time tonight.
Having said that, that was just my method of doing things. My intent isn't to compel others to change.
