BEWARE!! Not 100% compatible with Windows 10 (without reconfiguration)
I purchased this keyboard to replace a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 that was approaching 20 years old because it wasn't working well with a new computer. At first, I was impressed by the large, lighted keys. Made it much easier for my aging eyes to see. After using it for a few hours, I noticed that I was having the same problems with the new keyboard as I was having with the old one. I came to the conclusion that both keyboards are not 100% compatible with Windows 10. The numeric keypad DOES NOT WORK on either keyboard. The calculator hotkey pulls up the on-screen calculator but will not input from the numeric keypad. With the "NUM LOCK" key turned off, the numeric keypad works as it should--as arrow keys. I use the numeric keypad frequently and am now just as disadvantaged with this new keyboard as I was with the old one.
EDIT (2 weeks later)
I found that to make the keyboard work with Windows 10, I had to make changes to the Windows 10 configuration. Finding an answer on-line that didn't use ten-buck words was difficult enough but I persisted and was finally successful. I wouldn't be so upset at this whole thing if the instructions would have stated that reconfiguration of Windows 10 may be necessary. Keyboard works like gangbusters now....so I "uped" my rating from 2-star to 3-star.
