If it is not, please get dmesg output and post it here.

BTW you need to setup keyboard layout only once.
Thanks lots! Have it working now. Some symbols are mixed up but thats not a biggie, gotta try other layouts then ;D

Btw I needed HIGH speed to get it to work! I almoast posted my dmesg but I read some into it and saw an error similar to: 'low speed selected, but device needs full or high speed.' so I went on to try some more settings and with results.

Tomorrow I can be all geeky at the university making notes with my full sice desktop keyboard hehehe..
