Microsoft USB Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader (IntelliType Pro) Driver

The Microsoft USB Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader (IntelliType Pro) combines a USB keyboard with an integrated fingerprint sensor. Its driver helps Windows recognize the hardware and enables supported keyboard functions, while fingerprint features may require separate biometric software. Before installing on Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check the package’s compatibility notes, as legacy IntelliType Pro and fingerprint components may not support every version.

Key Features

• USB keyboard recognition: Helps Windows identify the Microsoft keyboard and communicate with its supported hardware components.
• Enhanced key support: Compatible IntelliType Pro software can provide access to supported shortcut keys and keyboard customization options.
• Fingerprint reader connectivity: A matching biometric driver allows compatible software to communicate with the built-in sensor; fingerprint sign-in depends on additional software and operating system support.
• Device troubleshooting: Installing the correct package may resolve missing-driver warnings or unavailable features caused by an incorrect driver.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows configuration. Open your system information to confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit installation. Match these details to the download’s listed requirements.

1. Verify the device match. Confirm that the package specifically supports the Microsoft USB Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader (IntelliType Pro). A generic keyboard driver may provide typing support without enabling the fingerprint reader or enhanced keys.

1. Download and prepare. Save the compatible driver package, extract it if necessary, and review any included instructions. Keep the keyboard connected directly to a working USB port unless the installer directs otherwise.

1. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program and follow its prompts. If the download contains driver files without an installer, open Device Manager, select the relevant device, choose “Update driver,” and browse to the extracted folder.

1. Restart and test. Restart if prompted, then check typing and supported shortcut functions. Configure the fingerprint sensor only through compatible biometric software; do not assume this legacy reader supports Windows Hello.
