Great review of the keyboard! Thank you! I feel it will be easy for me to upgrade to this keyboard from Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000.

I am very glad you liked the review! If you have a good (or bad) experience with the keyboard I hope you’ll tell us about it.

Try typing on your laptop’s keyboard with this keyboard attached. It might work just fine.

Same problem here. I can’t setup the function keys and “the center” doesn’t find the keyboard.
I called microsoft support and they said to download the win 8 driver.

Just as I thought, it didn’t
