Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 (IntelliType Pro) Driver

The Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 (IntelliType Pro) driver software supports communication between your keyboard and Windows, helping the system recognize its input and available controls. Basic typing generally works with Windows’ built-in USB keyboard drivers, while compatible Microsoft keyboard software may provide additional settings for supported special keys.

Key Features

• Reliable keyboard input: Uses Windows USB keyboard support for everyday typing, navigation, and standard keyboard shortcuts.
• Special-key support: Helps enable supported media and shortcut controls, though available functions depend on your Windows version and the installed software.
• Keyboard customization: Compatible IntelliType Pro software may offer key assignments and other preferences beyond the standard Windows keyboard settings.
• Windows integration: Works alongside Windows input settings, where you can adjust options such as repeat delay, repeat rate, and keyboard layout.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your PC runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type in Windows system information. Choose a download that explicitly supports your operating system and the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600.

1. Connect the keyboard. Plug it into an available USB port, preferably directly on the computer. Allow Windows to detect the device and install its built-in driver before adding optional software.

1. Review the download’s compatibility. IntelliType Pro is legacy software, so do not assume an older installer supports Windows 11 or Windows 10. If no compatible package is available, use the built-in keyboard driver and check Windows Update for applicable updates.

1. Run a compatible installer. If the package matches your system, open it, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the setup instructions. Select the correct keyboard model if prompted, and restart only if requested.

1. Test typing and special keys. Open a text editor to check normal input, then try the keyboard’s media controls. If a key does not respond, review the available keyboard settings or try another USB port before reinstalling software.

For most everyday use, the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 needs no separate download to begin typing. Optional software is useful only when it supports both your keyboard and your Windows version and provides a feature you need.
