I received this as a Christmas present and I can confirm that the Windows 7 drivers do not work on Windows 7 64bit.
I mananged to get it working by messing with the Vista 64bit driver disc that came with, but it can be tempermental. When its behaving its great, if a little cramped, but it does have a habit of doing wierd things which are only cured by doing a restart
This device has an obvious design-flaw! Such a device is normally used as a controlunit when sittig in front of a media center on the couch in a living room. Both mousefunction are on the very right side of the keyboard. When using it as a mouse, you have to move both hands to the right. And this is very inconvenient, because you cannot work in this way without putting the device on a table or so. In this mode of operation you need the mousekeys on the left side for the left hand and the touchpanel on the right side for the right hand. This allows you even to hold the keyboard with both hands or sit relaxed in front of the keyboard and operate the mouse in parallel.
I have a keyboard with the correct layout of the mousefunctions, therefor I know what I am talking about.

DON’T BUY THIS! The quality is CRAP. The driver disc wouldn’t work, and the packaging didn’t even include the manufacturer’s name, website, contact info – nothing! It’s a fly-by-night outfit peddling crap!
