FAQs

Is this keyboard compatible with macOS?

While primarily designed for Windows, the basic typing functions of the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 should work on macOS as a standard USB HID device. However, dedicated hot keys might not function without additional software or configuration.

Do I need to install any software to use this keyboard?

No, the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 is a plug-and-play device. You can connect it to your computer's USB port, and it will be ready to use without installing any software.

How do I clean the keyboard safely?

Disconnect the keyboard, wipe it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, and ensure it is completely dry before use. Avoid using liquid directly on the keyboard or harsh cleaning chemicals.

What does 'spill-resistant' mean for this keyboard?

It means the keyboard has been designed with internal shielding to help protect the circuitry from damage in the event of an accidental liquid spill. It is not waterproof, so avoid submersion.

Can I customize the hot keys?

This keyboard does not offer customization options for the hot keys through software. They are pre-programmed for specific functions.

What is the warranty period for this keyboard?

Specific warranty information can vary by region and retailer. It is recommended to check the product packaging or the Microsoft support website for detailed warranty terms applicable to your purchase.

Does this keyboard come with a wrist rest?

No, the Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 does not include a detachable or integrated wrist rest. It features a standard keyboard profile.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard is not responding.

Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port. Restart your computer.

Some keys are not working.

Check for any debris or obstructions around the affected keys. If the issue persists, unplug and replug the keyboard. If the problem continues, it may indicate a hardware fault.

Media hot keys or Windows Start button do not function.

Verify that your operating system is supported. Ensure no other software is overriding these functions. For older systems, specific drivers might be needed, though this is uncommon for basic hot key functionality.

Spilled liquid on the keyboard.

Immediately disconnect the keyboard from the computer. Turn it upside down to allow liquid to drain. Wipe away any residue with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reconnecting.
