My friend gave me a keyboard it was a windows comfort keyboard 5000. My question is does this keyboard use a Transeiver or what does it use.how can I connect it to my windows 7 64 bit desktop. I don't have a wireless adapter do I need one?
 
The Microsoft Comfort 5000 is supplied with a plug-in USB wireless transceiver that looks like a pen drive.
The keyboard communicates with the PC wirelessly through that transceiver.

Ask your friend to look for it, keyboard is useless without it and you can't buy the transceiver on it's own as far as I know (it's not the same as a USB wireless adapter for router/internet access - - that's a different wireless specification).

Edit - if he gave you a wireless mouse with the keyboard, turn the mouse upside down and unclip the battery cover. The transceiver unit may be in there, that's where it's stored at the factory.
