Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard Not Working Properly
Hello,
I left my Microsoft Sculpt keyboard at the office overnight but took the USB dongle, mouse and number pad home with me. After retrieving the keyboard it acts strangely.
First, it won’t stay turned on. It will turn on for maybe 5 minutes before it becomes unresponsive. Removing and reinstalling the batteries restarts it.
Secondly, typing can cause the internet browser to refresh. It seems when I hit two keys either simultaneously or in very quick succession the browser is triggered to refresh, specifically ‘R’ and ‘E’ but others will as well at times.
I have tried uninstalling the keyboard in device manager and restarting my computer with no change. I’ve tried searching for new drivers but it says I have the most current ones.
Hi Sven, thanks for reaching out.
Turns out my F5 button was jammed. It wasn’t the specific keys that would cause my browser to refresh, just that they are close to F5 and the force of hitting them caused the F5 press to register and refresh the browser.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help you further if needed.
Your VAF Team.
