Some keyboards have a problem with the Shift key not working correctly in the Wii Message Board (seems to work fine in the Internet Channel, though) & none of the hot keys work with the keyboards. Also PS/2 Wireless Keyboards dont work but the ps/2 - Usb adapter works fine though.

• Either get one of the new USB and PS/2 combined panels, or get an X-Arcade USB Adapter for the older PS/2-only panels. I've only tested with the older PS/2-only panels with the USB Adapter, which works fine. Do understand that the buttons and joysticks on the panel will only act like keyboard keys while using a USB connection with the Wii, you won't get Wiimote button presses or Gamecube button presses. (but with a Gamecube adapter, you'll have a big Gamecube arcade panel. No "Wii Adapter" yet, though)
