Natural ergonomic 4000 keyboard worn

I have 2 of them, both purchased at Staples last year.  No, I don't have the Bill.  We're still new in the box.  My wife used his for several months.  The keys are dispelled.  I read here and all over the internet, it's very common.  Apparently, Microsoft's answer to this is to 'buy stickers to put on the buttons '.   This is a totally unacceptable solution.  I am currently using a Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard, which is light gray or white with black letters on the keys.  I used it everyday for years, and there is no wear at all on the keys.  New keyboards are black with white lettering.  They are the model number 1048, manufactured in China.  Serial numbers:
7687603673143 and
7687603378803
Because it is clearly a quality production editing, specifically the choice of the ink used, Microsoft going to do to fix this?  Although one of them is still new in the box, my wife wants connect me it for her because she is worn out.  Clearly he too will have been key in a few months, and then I'll have two keyboards bad, news and a former, which seems fine.  Also, I bought the original Microsoft Natural Keyboard when they came first for years.  It's on a shelf in the basement.  No wear on its buttons or the other.  I replaced it only because the most recent have a smaller footprint, and the plastic had yellowed.
Thank you.

  • Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 keyboard shortcuts accidentally mapped on arrow keys and ordinary letter

    My natural 4000 keyboard started acting yesterday: C key starts my web browser, the left arrow button toggles the current window and exit mode full-screen, the down arrow key opens the console of "developer tools" on my browser (both for Chrome as Firefox), and the right arrow key opens the context menu for the active window (i.e. the window that opens when I right click on the window). These all correspond to the functions in the shortcut bar upper keyboard of my keyboard, which still works as usual.

    I don't know how it happened - running Win7 Pro 64-bit and the problem occurred after that I have spammed the letter keys while running an emulator (Mednafen - http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/) to find out how to open a menu.

    I managed to turn off most of my shortcut keys, after that some of the problems have been resolved (for example, I disabled the Web/Home hot key and now my C key opens is no longer the web browser either), but I can't to remap the arrow keys, which makes the text written in a quite heavy browser (I now use the mouse instead of the arrows).

    More information on my system: I use a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse with Logitech Unifying receiver plugged on one of the USB ports on my PC.

    I tried to uninstall my device keyboard drivers reinstall and uninstall my mouse device drivers and restart my PC with the system detached Logitech receiver. Had no effect.

    Any advice as to how I might solve this problem? I'm a bit puzzled and considering retirement finally my Natural Keyboard keyboard (although I'd rather sad having to do) if I can't find a solution.

    Hi, Ahmed.

    This problem may occur if there is a problem with the USB connection on your computer. This problem can also occur if a third-party keyboard control utility is running on your computer. This problem occurs because the analysis codes issued by the keyboard are interpreted differently by each keyboard control utility. It can also be due to having default unexpected or redefined for keys program assignments. Many of the default assignments require that you have installed a program in particular, or you are using an e-mail program supported, Internet browser or media player.

  • Mistypes keyboard: Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 bought on Amazon.com, made on 11 April.
    Hello
    I use Windows 7 Enterprise Edition on a Dell laptop. I recently bought a "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000" from a dealer online. When I used it first, it worked perfectly.
    I had some problems with the software on my computer that I did research and corrected. After that the keyboard worked perfectly, but to halfway through the next morning it started to be very weird. For example, the key 'a' type 'gy '. This leads me to believe that the key mapping does not work somehow. The keyboard of the laptop works fine, and a USB keyboard that I have works correctly with this laptop. In addition, the mouse that came with the wireless keyboard continues to operate correctly. I tried on another computer. After downloading the software, I had the same result as on my computer.
    In Microsoft Keyboard diagnostics, when I quand je tape type 'a' it slap 'gy' and said:
    Legend: G (do) - 0 x 22
    Key: (Do) - 0 x 15
    Legend: G (break) - 0 x 22
    Key: Y (break) - 0 x 15
    Unknown key - HID Input
    Unknown key - HID Input
    STOP SCROLL: OFF
    CAP LOCK: OFF
    NUMLOCK: WE
    F LOCK: UNKNOWN
    This makes me wonder if the language of the keyboard has been changed somehow a language which has the double-byte characters.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers keyboard, cleaned the registry, compared the keys to register Keyboard Layout against another computer, removed the device in the Device Manager etc etc, without success.
    Can you help me?
    Cindy

    Hi Cindy,.
