Microsoft USB Natural Keyboard Pro (IntelliType Pro) Driver

The Microsoft USB Natural Keyboard Pro (IntelliType Pro) driver helps Windows recognize this Microsoft USB keyboard and, with compatible IntelliType Pro software, supports its additional controls and customization options.

How to Install Microsoft USB Natural Keyboard Pro (IntelliType Pro) Driver

1. Check your Windows edition. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit in System settings. This device’s listed operating systems are Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but individual driver packages may support only some of them.

1. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Microsoft USB Natural Keyboard Pro (IntelliType Pro) driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported systems and hardware details. Select the latest version compatible with your setup—not simply the newest release. For Windows 10/11, do not assume legacy IntelliType Pro software supports both; Windows 11 is not included in the listed support.

1. Download and verify the installer. Use a trusted free download source, scan the file with Windows Security or another security tool, and check its publisher information before running it. Avoid packages that require unrelated software.

1. Install the software. Connect the keyboard directly to a working USB port, launch the compatible installer, and follow its prompts. Restart Windows if requested. Basic typing may already work using Windows’ built-in keyboard driver.

1. Test the keyboard. Check ordinary keys and any multimedia or shortcut buttons. Open IntelliType Pro settings, if installed, to configure supported functions. If controls remain unavailable, check Device Manager for errors and confirm package compatibility.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves reliability. Check Windows Update and trusted Microsoft support resources first, and retain a working installer when possible. If the keyboard already works correctly, replacing a stable driver with an incompatible release can create unnecessary issues.
