    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 inputs wrong characters


    I have bought and used the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard since it was made. I started a new job and had them order me one. The space bar did not work. They had it replaced and the second one worked for two weeks. Now keys don't work (the enter key, c, y, u, i o; keypad keys /, *, -). When I select z it types x, the ., 2, and 4 type ./24 when selected. Why is this happening? My company will not replace it again and I don't want to pay for something I would be using at work.

    How to program the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 in Windows 10?

    I too have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, which I have happily been using with Windows 7. Upon upgrading to Windows 10, the programmable hot keys were no longer functional, nor the extended numberpad keys ("=", "(", ")", Backspace). I tracked
    down my installation disk (IntelliType Pro 2.2), only to be informed that this software does not run on Windows 10.

    Sounds like bad news. No. I found the "Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.7 64-bit (exe)" at
    https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000. Works a treat.

    Now if only I could get Windows 10 to stop automatically changing my input mode from US keyboard to INTL keyboard!

    Cheers.
