Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth (IntelliType Pro) Driver

The Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth (IntelliType Pro) driver helps Windows work with this Microsoft wireless keyboard and provides IntelliType Pro controls for supported keyboard functions. It is useful if you are setting up the keyboard, restoring shortcut functionality, or reinstalling software after a Windows update.

Key Features

• Keyboard customization: IntelliType Pro lets you assign supported keys to common tasks or applications, making everyday commands easier to reach.
• Media and shortcut controls: Enables configuration of supported multimedia and special-function keys beyond basic typing.
• Bluetooth keyboard integration: Works alongside Windows Bluetooth support to help you use the keyboard wirelessly. A working Bluetooth adapter and its own driver are required.
• Legacy Windows options: Look for a package matching Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, and verify the individual download’s compatibility before installing.

How to Install Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth (IntelliType Pro) Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information and confirm the Windows edition and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, do not assume an older IntelliType Pro package supports both; Windows 11 is not listed among this device’s supported operating systems.
2. Choose the correct package. When selecting a Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth (IntelliType Pro) driver download for Windows, check the supported operating systems and keyboard model. Choose the latest version compatible with your setup, rather than simply the newest available package.
3. Download and verify the installer. Use a trusted source for a free download, and check that the file is identified as Microsoft software. Avoid unrelated utilities or installers that require additional purchases.
4. Install the software. Run the downloaded installer and follow its prompts. If you are replacing an existing IntelliType Pro installation, follow any instructions to remove or upgrade it. Restart Windows if requested.
5. Pair and test the keyboard. Ensure your Bluetooth adapter is enabled, pair the keyboard through Windows Bluetooth settings, and test typing and shortcut keys. Open IntelliType Pro settings to adjust supported key assignments.

Keep the driver and Bluetooth adapter software updated when a compatible update is available. Before replacing a working installation, review compatibility information—especially on newer Windows versions—and remember that keyboard software alone cannot resolve weak batteries, pairing failures, or an unsupported Bluetooth adapter.
