Microsoft ergonomic keyboard 4000 driver for mac

An app called Karabiner fixed the issue for me. And now everything that I need works for me. I never used the programmable keys, but I think with Karabiner and event viewer, you could make any and all of it do whatever you'd like. Oct 12, 6: There is a way to get IntelliType 8. Click Utilities on the top menu bar, choose Terminal and enter:.

You'll be told it's an unsigned app if you double click the installer. So right click on it and choose Run.

You'll notice part of the dialogue that goes by as it's installing is that components are being registered with the system. That's the important part. El Capitan now recognizes it as "okay". There of course is the restart the IntelliType installer does to finish. Page content loaded.

Oct 7, 1: Oct 7, 5: Those can be switched in the keyboard preference pane. Now, beyond that, I'm not at my work computer so I can't attest to the other solutions I found. Both are keymap helpers. Besides the command and option keys being fixed, the number keypad is the next biggest thing that needs to operate for me. There is a preference pane called doublecommand. It's at http: The other key-remapper is now an app called Karabiner. Haven't installed it, but my try tomorrow AM in order to get other functions working if I can't get joy from the internal OS X preference pane and Doublecommand.

If anyone has success or failure to report, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks Bill, https: Changes to security in El Capitan makes the current IntelliType software unusable. Microsoft hasn't updated the software since Lion.

They're going to have to actually do something with it now. Oct 10, I too am having the same problem. I reached out to MS Support on this via twitter. They responded to my request for more info, but haven't heard back from them since. Been 4 days. Sounds like MS has lots of issues with El Capitan. Oct 10, 1: Oct 11, 8: Oct 13, 8: Oct 13, Oct 14, 7: Thank you so much for this workaround! Oct 14, 8: SIP is a very good idea, so I give credit to Apple for taking OS security very seriously, and not waiting until something major happens before doing anything about it.

MS has twiddled their thumbs over this software for years. Now they have to do something about it so it works as it should and not the user having to juggle things around to get it to work. We were fortunate it worked at all. If it will work it will likely require something external to remap it's functionality. March 24, at 3: Bill said…. Bill R. August 2, at Bill R: Yup, it means that the number pad is just a number pad. August 3, at The keyboard that comes with the latest iMac looks very stylish and cool. Sort of an expensive Swedish looking thing. And the cords is only about 2 feet long.

The guts of Macs are great, but the exterior is hardly functional for anyone except 2 Dimensional Man who sits with his face up against the screen. I bought a MS Thanks for the great hints The most irritating thing about the is that the 'numbers lock' reverts to unlocked when you "sleep" or shut down, and there's no way of setting the numbers lock to the locked position as the default. So I'm typing away, and I think I'm keying in numbers.

I look up from my document to the screen and find the cursor off in left field with no numbers keyed in. I probably should have been able to come up with those solutions, but I didn't. September 25, at 2: October 18, at The space bar has been fine. You can find these keyboards pretty easily online for a great price.

I highly recommend them. October 18, at 2: David, bless you! I am now back to using my MS Natural on my new iMac. No more wrist pain; no more tiny keyboard to contend with.

Have you figured out a way to make the computer sleep or shut down with a shortcut. November 3, at Bruce W: Glad to hear the hand pain is gone! That's the big advantage of these ergo style keyboards. I don't have a shortcut for Sleep or Shutdown; since I really only do that once a day I tend to grab the mouse and hit it from the Apple menu. Thanks for the blog - very useful! MacOS In case anyone else feels the same and wonders as to other options: The reference to ControllerMate is much appreciated!

If your kernel panics, upgrade the drivers

November 5, at 1: Christopher said…. Great info, thanks. Has anyone tried some stickers to re-label the Windows keys? A google search for 'mac keyboard sticker' shows a whackload of vendors.

While most are remapping to non-English keyboards, a few seem to have the various Apple keys. I like the idea of a 3M or Brother label, but I don't know if there's an opaque 3M sticker, and I don't want to buy a label maker just for one use. Does anybody know where we can get black 3M stuff that can go through a printer? November 20, at If you find one that you like please drop a note here. I've yet to find a suitable way to handle this.

Using Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 Keyboard with Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Today I started using the MS Natural Hope this helps. December 30, at 4: Unfortunately I still have some trouble with wrong key assignments Some keys swapped or not accessible with the AltGr-key-combination anymore, like e. Highly annoying! I wonder whether this is caused by my German keyboard layout Any hints from you on this one? I love my MS Ergo and don't really want to give it up for the tiny iMac keyboard Greets, Marko.

January 24, at 4: I suspect you are correct - it's the German keyboard layout that could be the problem. I haven't had an issue with the US layout I use. It does appear that MS has a German version of the keyboard driver. Did you try that one? Hi David, yes, I did. But unfortunately there is no way to make it work properly. I am pretty confused. Can't even find a tool to reassign the keys to the correct translations Would be quite a job to achieve this in any case. CAN'T imagine, that I am the only one with this problem. But thanks for the hint! Greets, Marko P.

Was surprised that I had to restart the computer after installation of these drivers. Seems to be a Microsoft thing January 24, at 9: Marcia said…. It is too old to use on my 27"iMac. I have been looking at the and wonder if you all have downloaded the printer driver update for Snow Leopard. Did it solve any of the problems? Thanks Marcia. February 12, at There is one heavily used item I have a ScanSnap scanner from Fujitsu that is not fully supported under Snow Leopard yet.

If so that would be good to know! February 13, at 9: David, I just installed it this morning. So far, it is ok on Snow Leopard. Haven't checked everything yet but will let you know if I find problems. February 23, at 1: Mike said….

David, I got the scansnap sm working on snow leopard. That being said, I remember reading about the incompatibility after upgrading, but it still worked. I've been looking at getting one of these keyboards, and this article and comments are very helpful. March 6, at 9: Awesome David for the information. But like the problem with the German keyboard, I use a Swedish keyboard and the changes are not sticking. My 'control' button still doesnt want to do anything on the MS kb.

Will keep looking for a solution. March 22, at 9: If you do find a solution please post it here in the comments. In looking at my logs this particular blog posts continues to get lots of hits every day so hopefully people will get the information they're looking for. Thanks for this great blog post! How do I get the END key to function? Also, how do I switch the Ctrl and Alt keys? I've played around with this for 2 days now and can't figure it out. July 23, at 1: The "end" key doesn't have a specific equivalent on Mac as it does in Windows.

Well, not as a dedicated key anyway. Command-Right Arrow is the closest Ctrl-E works in some apps as well. Though I don't personally use it you may want to give textexpander a try; I've heard good things about it and there is a free trial. That said I wouldn't recommend doing that if you have switched to Mac. It's fine if you have to live in both Mac and Windows worlds all day but if you have switched it's much better to just adjust to the native Mac keystrokes.

This would include swapping the Ctrl and Alt keys, though you should be able to do that in the MS keyboard software. July 24, at 7: I have a macbook pro. I'm currently using an older MS Natural Keyboard with it, but with no remapping. Since this is specific for laptops, but I use my macbook more often as a desktop than a laptop, is there a way to map the FN to something on a standard keyboard with no extra buttons.

If not, since I'm thinking of upgrading to the anyway, is there a way to map a key on the to be the FN key? July 27, at 4: Bob and Janene said…. Just installed the keyboard on my Mac but have a question. The Show All Click of the mouse no longer reduces all the windows to thumbnail size on the desktop, so I can switch screens easily. Any one know how to get this feature to work? January 31, at 9: Ergonomic Chair said…. Same here.. I am a fan of anything ergonomic..

June 25, at To expand on some previous comments about using the keyboard with a Mac, I suggest doing the following: Open Microsoft Keyboard, and select Options. To make your keyboard act like a Mac keyboard, check the first box, to Swap the Windows and Alt keys. Select Key settings. From here you can assign keys to Eject i. DVD's , and to act as a Power key, which can be used for the standard sleep, restart, or shutdown actions.

Other reassignment possibilities also exist. July 14, at February 8, at 1: Using an ergonomic keyboard can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

The same goes for ergonomic chairs. They keep the user comfortable, and protected from injury as well. July 22, at 9: Try a label maker to cover the keys - something like the Brother Labelmaker - it uses plastic label stock that can be programed from computer images. Just cut to fit. I'm not a robot but I can't read some of those capta images. July 24, at Theo van der Sluijs said…. I also use the microsoft natural keyboard. I switched the alt and windows key, and I really want those keyboard layout stickers for the mac function keys.

I wonder if there ever will be a real natural keyboard for mac users. All the mac keyboard look nice but typing is a real pain in the "hand" ;-. October 15, at 2: David, Thank you for this very informative thread. As a former PC user, I am finding the switch is challenging my adaptability. Has anyone discovered a way to use the functions on the number pad Home, up arrow, page up, left arrow, right arrow, end, down arrow, page down, insert and delete instead of as a number pad?

That is where I really use these commands. I do not use the number pad for numbers I know, the world turned upside down syndrome but I refuse to surrender the keyboard because of its ergonomic design. Again, thanks. I truly appreciate this thread. February 13, at 2: David, Thank you for this exceptionally informative thread.

As a former PC user, I am finding the switch is challenging my ability to adapt. Hi, I am having issues with my microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard. When I hit zero on the numeric keypad, it's typing out '80' instead. Can you advise on how to fix? The keyboard is fine other than that. I've already hit the fn and numlock key and that does not help. February 20, at 2: I suspect that's where the issue is. February 20, at 6: Staff Writer said…. I uninstalled the Microsoft driver and am using just Controllermate. A little bit geeky, but more powerful. But the Microsoft driver was just fine on February 28, at 9: R Audu said….

March 11, at 5: Ron, If you turn off the Num Lock button, you can use the arrows. March 19, at 2: However, I have a couple of problems: Pressing the Windows button on my Ergonomic keyboard doesn't do anything. Should I install the ControllerMate to fix this issue? How do I change this shortcut on my Mac? Please help, Ronald. August 10, at 7: The Microsoft driver should allow you to map the Windows key.

The option for flipping the Control and Command keys is actually in the basic options on your Mac: That said, I would recommend against doing that. Most navigation and shortcut keys on Mac use the Command key, which on a Mac keyboard is in the same place as the Control key on a Windows keyboard.

It's better to relabel the keys on the keyboard which is the technique I used than to have to relearn the muscle memory for those key combinations. Hope this helps August 12, at David, Thanks for the blog. It really helped me. Update for Check out Karabiner: I am going to order this set
