Windows 10: Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600

I just bought a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600. When I plug it into my laptop, it works for EXACTLY 16 characters and then just stops working completely. I can type 16 letters but no more. If I click on NumLock within the 16 characters the light comes on, after the 16 characters the light stays on but pressing any key doesn't do anything. It's like the keys just stop working. Nothing changes when unplugging it and plugging it back in. I have tried plugging it into my laptop's other usb port but there is no change. I am on Windows 11.

Keys 3edc will not work Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600

Hi everyone,

I have a Microsoft Wired Keyboard Keyboard 600 and the keys 3 e d and c no longer work. I have:

• cleaned the debris out of the keyboard using the vacuum cleaner
• plugged it into my laptop to use as an external keyboard
• updated the driver through Device Manager
• uninstalled and reinstalled it through Device Manager

and the keys are still not working.

The onscreen keyboard works fine but considering I am using the wired keyboard on a desktop computer, it is hardly functional for typing.

Does anyone have any further hints or tips (aside from buying a new keyboard)?

Problems with the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 that I purchased a few days ago. At first it worked very well, until a couple of days ago. Out of nowhere it stopped working and didn't recognize any key (although the num lock light stayed on, it couldn't be turned
off).

Recommendations that were made about similar problems on this keyboard model (update drivers, update Windows Update, remove the power saving option for USB devices and install the "Mouse Keyboard Center 64bit_ESP_12.181" driver) have not worked for me.

I have found that when using the "Pause / Break" key, the keyboard is reactivated. It should be noted that the minutes the keyboard stops working. Thus following a cycle of suspension of operation.

Thanks in advance for the help.
