Microsoft also moved the Insert key, which toggles insert/overtype, to this row, and you need to have the switch in the 'Fkey' position for this to work. But not by name, just as a generic wireless keyboard.įrom left to right they are start/pause (for videos), volume off, volume on, volume louder, search, share, devices, settings, swipe from left, left sidebar, (the next key didn't do anything, so I don't know what the icon represents), and swipe down.

This time when I checked Devices, the keyboard showed up. Then I used the tried-and-true fix-Windows approach of shutting the computer down and restarting it. As an experiment, though, I tried touching the various keys and the keyboard appeared to be working. I tried troubleshooting with no success, and found out that Microsoft does not provide drivers for this keyboard on their web site. When I did this, the Device Manager said it was downloading and installing files, and then it vanished and the Mouse and Keyboard Center told me that I had no Microsoft devices connected. It did not install automatically I had to call up the Mouse and Keyboard Center. However, installation on the netbook was somewhat less than successful.

To install the keyboard, I thought that all I had to do was find space for it (that was the hardest part) 🙂 then plug in the wireless dongle. Installing the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort in Windows 8 I'll talk about these items in a moment as well. You can also see the little feet that flip out to raise the front edge of the keyboard, and a switch with icons that make it look like it's used to lock and unlock the keyboard.
