Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard

Today, I bought a new Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard.  Can someone tell me how to remove the plastic lip that triggers the edge before (palmrest) about an inch?  Thank you.

Turn the keyboard on my knees (the lip will be on the lap), so it does not slip. There are three clips on the underside of the lip, pull the lip evenly and voila! Hope it works; He has done for me, by trial and error.

  • Microsoft 4000 ergonomic, which are back and buttons just below the space bar for forward?

    Original title: tne on Microsoft 4000 ergonomic

    On the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard. What are the buttons back and next just below the bar of distinguished? I've never seen them do anything when I press them. And there is no link of programming the software set up for them.

    I just had the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard of THIS support in my office, and the back and the front keys work exactly as 'return' and arrows 'before' in my browser (Firefox).  I didn't do anything - program may be the game of the previous user upwards - but for me they work for the web back and forth, not navigation problem.

  • Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard that some keys do not work

    I have natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard for about a year now on Vista 32 bit. The keys P, [---],--------do not work (using keyboard on the screen so you may be wondering). Just downloaded and reinstalled the latest drivers and still does not work. It's a software thing or my keyboard was just wrong?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hi Savan,

    Thanks for the reply, I would have thought that in a first time. I advanced and tried on a laptop and the same keys still don't work.

    So assuming that the keyboard was already broken, I advanced and open. The fact that I learned a lot about the anatomy of a keyboard. Inside are four layers the rubber part were the keys strike and 3 layers of plastic, so did a quick inspection and noticed some dirt. Used some compressed air blower but the difficult part was cleaning between the 3 layers of plastic, I used a clean and dry cloth in the interval wiping and focusing on letters that were not work. While the keyboard is plugged in so I can test it and see if its working. And guess what, it WORKED. Following cleaning and re-assembled the keyboard. And works very well since.

    I hope this info helps others, sometimes we think air powder top is enough to clean the keyboard, but a few times can get average dirt under these layers of plastic.

    Thank you!

    We have several Microsoft installed "Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000" and discovered one day we are experiencing problems with the function keys.  In our software provider, we are supposed to use SHIFT + F11 to access a specific function.  However this keyboard shortcut does not work.

    I installed the latest drivers of "http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000" for Windows XP (32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit) and installed on the right machines.  Yet this problem persists and I can't find a way to deliver a new command outside provider software to test if it of a hardware problem of keyboard or not.

  • Microsoft Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard with IntelliType 8.15 64-bit for Windows 7, some keys are not function (new, open, undo, redo, fence, etc.) in Office 2010

    Hello MSFT sensi.
    I need help. I have the Microsoft Natural ergonomic 4000 keyboard with IntelliType 8.15 64-bit for Windows 7 installed. I run on a brand new i7 with 9 GB of ram and 1 TB of hard drive.  I just installed Office 2010.  Have you tested this keayboard with Office 2010?

    I bought and returned 2 of these keyboards at my local dealer and two keyboards have the same problem. Preconfigured keys (help, undo, redo, new, open, close, reply, fwd, send, spell, save and print) F1 - F12 do function not all as they are indicated in MS Word 2010 etc. I was able to program my favorites 1-5 with little problem.

    I did the following to try to resolve the problem:
    1. research of virus (clean)
    2. uninstalled the driver and downloaded the last strand 8.15 64
    3 entered the keyboard layout configuration and reset the default settings
    4 tried to manually program the F1 - F12 function keys

    NONE of these things solve the problem.  Which brings me to the conclusion that this keyboard does not have to be 100% compatible with Office 2010.

    Any suggestions / feature of configuration problems feature keys?

    PS. No, I didn't record this keyboard, because is it not there no solution - he goes back to the retailer.

    To the right of the function keys, there is a key LOCK.

    Toggle this button to toggle between the keys F1 to F12 with their usual function and the functions listed in the relevant programs.

  • In Win 7 keys on the Microsoft Natural ergonomic Keyboard 4000, Firefox & Thunderbird quick launch only throw in the toolbar, without opening the program, then blurred

    Although these keys to quick launch on this keyboard worked fine on this computer Windows XP, when I switched to Windows 7 64 bit, they started having this problem, but only with Firefox and Thunderbird. If I program these keys to open other programs, they do not have the problem. Therefore, something Firefox/Thunderbird, Win7 64-bit compatibility and software of this keyboard (latest version).

    When I press one of the keys to quick launch on this programmed keyboard for Firefox/Thunderbird, they display a rectangle of program in the taskbar only, but no program opens on the screen. When I move the mouse over this rectangle in the taskbar, the program opens immediately, but to focus.

    I also tried to reset Firefox, but this does not change the behavior at all.

  • Microsoft Natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 is incompatible with Windows 7

    When I type a letter, I receive a letter and a number (ex: I type "s", the computer prints "s7"). I tried redownloading drivers, but I get an error message that this keyboard is incompatible with Windows 7 and it wont let me start the CD.  I looked on the MS site for a fix, which is there, and I downloaded it, but it did not work.  I am always told the keypad and the software are incompatible.  I went through this process 3 times and now I'm frustrated that I spent $80.00 on a MS product that says that the site of MS is compatible with Windows 7, but it doesn't help with this computer.

  • No CD-ROM with ergonomic keyboard 4000, then things do not work

    Hello Allayas!  :-)

    OK, so I recently bought a:
    Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard

    Only problem is that it didn't come with the CD-ROM, which usually has the drivers, other software/freeware and instructions and so on and so forth.

    IE: for example -.

    • I can't use 5 programmable keys at the top of the keyboard, in the Center, and I think ' they are supposed to be the most important because of their location and so on.
    • The Zoom slider in the middle of the keyboard is ab-so-lute-ly, nada! [Samething goes for the key with the big star on this subject.]
    • Almost all the buttons do nothing. Not at all.
    • more there are things written on the front of the keys, I have no idea what to do with them. They have words like: {copy, paste, cut, search, save, all pointed out, new open, print, italics and they also} a few buttons that work, like, on the F12 key, it says 'print', well I say is for printing

    Is it possible that I can get a 'friend' to post, so I can download the contents of their CD, as everything in a folder and let download me, or you can send it to me to.

    Thank you very much
