No setup required here, plugged it into the USB host adaptor and away!

You can get a case and keyboard, or use a USB to mini-USB adapter. The case and keyboard are nice and if you look around you can get a good deal on one, especially on eBay. Just make sure the one you get has teh mini-USB, as there are both versions and you don't want to haev to use an adapter.

But yeah, the Scroll has the drivers for a USB keyboard integrated in the firmware, so you should be good to go.

Plugged the usb std key board in the host socket adapter and the keys work in reverse and the enter does not work, do you know what country the scrolls setting are set to.

is it the @ and " keys by any chance? if so you have it set to US keyboard. Not sure about the enter key though, might be a duff keyboard.
