Microsoft USB Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (106 109) (IntelliType Pro) Driver

The Microsoft USB Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (106 109) (IntelliType Pro) driver helps Windows recognize the keyboard and supports communication with its USB interface. A compatible Microsoft driver or keyboard software package may also enable customization of supported shortcut keys and controls beyond standard typing.

Key Features

• USB keyboard recognition: Helps Windows identify the keyboard correctly and process input through a USB connection.
• Shortcut key support: Compatible software can provide access to supported media controls, application shortcuts, and other dedicated keyboard functions.
• Customizable controls: Depending on the software version and operating system, you may be able to assign actions to supported keys to suit your workflow.
• Windows integration: Basic typing typically works with built-in Windows keyboard drivers, while additional Microsoft software may be needed for advanced controls. Check package compatibility for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 before installing.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information to confirm which Windows edition you use and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Choose a package that explicitly supports your operating system and the Microsoft USB Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (106 109) (IntelliType Pro).

1. Connect the keyboard. Plug it into an available USB port on your computer. If detection is unreliable through a USB hub, try a direct connection and allow Windows to finish setting up its built-in driver.

1. Download and inspect the package. Use a trusted source and review the compatibility details before running anything. The IntelliType Pro label does not guarantee that every legacy software release supports newer Windows versions.

1. Install the compatible software. If the download includes an installer, run it and follow the prompts. For a driver-only package, extract the files, open Device Manager, locate the keyboard, and select Update driver to browse to the extracted folder. Restart if prompted.

1. Test typing and extra controls. Open a text editor to check normal input, then try the media and shortcut keys. If customization software was installed, use its settings to configure supported buttons.

If standard typing works but special keys do not, check the software’s device support rather than repeatedly reinstalling the basic USB driver. On Windows 11 and Windows 10 especially, confirm compatibility before using an older IntelliType Pro package.
