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
Mircosoft 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
AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText
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. Btw, my keyboard is plugged on PS/2 with adaptator, not sure it works directly on USB.
