Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450

I too have the same problem. I can't find a driver that makes this keyboard
work in Vista. For me I have lost the CTRL button plus the scrool wheel and
sometimes the back and forward. But I have the cut copy and paste working
fine.

I am seriously thinking of getting another keyboard but I can't find any on
the market that has all these extra buttons - that is why I really like this
keyboard.

Does anyone know how to get Drivers to make this work with VISTA? It works
fine with winxp.

I use this keyboard too. I set it up as a "Digital Media Pro" and have all
functions except the scroll wheel.

Thanks for the Digital Media Pro tip. However, this is LAME. The scroll wheel
isn't just "nice". For me it's essential as a way of cutting down on mouse
use, which causes me a lot of pain in my right shoulder. I will be annoyed
and disappointed if Microsoft doesn't fix this problem.

Agreed, I'm having the same problem with my Office Keyboard. IMO, this was
the best keyboard ever developed. The scroll wheel on the left side of the
keyboard is and unbelievable convenience. IM sure it couldn't take a MS
programmer long to make and Intellitype version to fix this.

Come on MS, help us out here!

I've just tried BarCode's suggestion (using the English version of IT
5.0), and everything seems to be working! Thanks a lot BarCode.

I was crushed to lose the wheel when I upgraded to Vista. This is the
best keyboard ever (I have 2), now I am going to buy some more from
ebay to make sure that I always have one !!

Thanks so much for the workaround!!

I still had problems to install IntelliType 5.0 even when all .exe
files where in the compatibility mode. Vista still gave an error about
incompatibility. My Vista Ultimate was installed by conversion from
Windows XP SP2. Under XP SP2 IntelliType 2.0 was installed and this
caused the error. You can't simply deinstall IntelliType 2.0 under
Vista because the uninstall also doesn't run because "it is not
supported".

The solution is to make a backup from your registry first Then you
remove all instances of IntelliType from the registry with Regedit.
Then you can safely remove the map c:\program files\Microsoft
IntelliType 2.0.

Now you can successfully install IntelliType 5.0

I'm happy again to use all features of the Office Keyboard

Thanks to all

Dikkie

Hi all. I have *Windows 7* now, and still my Mircosoft Office Keyboard.
The trick of my previous post for Windows Vista doesn't work under
Windows 7. So i found something new to have the keyboard working
completely, *scroll wheel included*.

1. Install *Microsoft IntelliType Pro 7* (last version), select
Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard or Digital Media Pro. All special keys
should work, appart the scroll wheel.

2. Install *AutoHotkey *from http://www.autohotkey.com/

3. Write this *script* for AutoHotkey:

; --------------------------------------------------
; Lines that start with a ; semicolon are comments.
; Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450: Making the ScrollWheel work under
Windows 7. ScrollUp/Down Normal, Fast, Faster, Fastest

sc10B Up::Send {WheelDown}
sc111 Up::Send {WheelDown 3}
sc112 Up::Send {WheelDown 5}
sc11F Up::Send {WheelDown 7}
sc10B Down::Send {WheelUp}
sc111 Down::Send {WheelUp 3}
sc112 Down::Send {WheelUp 5}
sc11F Down::Send {WheelUp 7}

Return
; --------------------------------------------------

4. Make this script start at *Windows startup* with a shortcut in Start
menu.

This is working fine for me. The wheel sends 4 special codes depending
of the speed you turn it, simulating a key up or down press. These codes
are redirected to WheelUp/Down by AutoHotkey, with the number of steps.
You can tweak the number following WheelUp or WheelDown.

Barcode,
Your responses helped me sort everything out. My beloved 9450 works
perfectly again (Under W7) just like it did under XP (but not, of
course, V****)
Thank you from all of us for your generosity and time in posting such
helpful information.
-Happy New Year- to you from a friend in Wiltshire, England.

I dont have a PS/2 built into my MB, but I have one on a PCI card installed.
Computer still recognizes the keyboard as USB when its plugged into the PS/2
port on the card and the wheel does not work, even with the modifications
listed. Any idea how to get the computer to recognize the keyboard as being
installed as PS/2?
