Given that this is not by any means a cheap option and that nowhere (on sites selling the board or even on the product’s own packaging) shows the actual design, it seems all too easy to be lumbered with a product which is, to all intents and purposes, not really fit for purpose.
In summary, whilst the US edition of this keyboard appears well-proportioned and of high quality, the UK localisation seems to have been performed without any regard for the poor person who will be forced to use it. In addition, the unusual horizontal offset of the different rows of keys (which seems more pronounced on the UK version) makes touch-typing literally hit-and-miss. It’s so small, it rivals some of the smaller keys on Asus’ eeePC keyboard! You only need look at the comments on .uk to see how much pain this is causing. Decision made, and all is fine… until I see the UK layout, which I can’t find pictured anywhere on the web.

I was first looking at the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 – the case is a little large and many of the buttons are superfluous on the Mac or Linux, but Microsoft’s keyboards (built by Logitech) are very high quality, and the current generation are actually better than Logitech’s own, which can look quite cheap have a fairly unpleasant font laser-etched into them. Unfortunately, the rubber on the central scroll-wheel has degraded and starting to go sticky 🙁 ), and the (otherwise excellent) keyboard is at times a little difficult to type on with keys taking too much effort to depress – although this may be simply due to not having been used for a couple of years, and does seem to be slowly improving with use. Microsoft has since removed all trace of the Explorer from it’s website (my model pre-dates the Explorer 3.0, and has two buttons under the thumb position.

Other Bluetooth software might work but is not supported.Finally having built a ( just-about) usable PC for the first time in years, I’m considering performing an equally radical upgrade to my input peripherals: Lacking the desk space for a Wacom Intuos3 A5 Wide tablet, I’m looking for a new keyboard and mouse to replace my existing Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro and Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer.
Toshiba Bluetooth software is known to work in mostĬases.
IntelliType Pro software is designed to work with the Microsoft Bluetooth software. If you connect with a non-Microsoft Bluetooth transceiver, some advanced IntelliType Pro software features may not work. If your computer includes a built-in Bluetooth transceiver, you may be able to use it to connect your keyboard without using a Microsoft USB transceiver. For more information about pairing these keyboards to your computer, see the Bluetooth Connection Guide or the documentationĬonnecting a keyboard without a Microsoft Bluetooth transceiver The Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth and the Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth do not have First Connect buttons on their transceivers.
Follow the instructions in the wizard to connect your device.Ĭonnecting a Bluetooth keyboard without First Connect.Click the Wireless tab, and then click Connect.Verify that you have selected the Bluetooth keyboard that uses your First Connect transceiver.
