Microsoft Sculpt keyboard + OS X issues

I have the same problem with the Sculpt Comfort keyboard. It has worked for a while but the number keys and the decimal key on the number pad would not respond. But the + - * / and enter keys work. In fact I think the num lock key doesn't work either.

Anyone has any ideas about how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

OSX 10.8

Installed the MS Intelli.. having a problem that within minutes the brightness on the screen goes down to zero (like someone's holding the lower brightness button down all the way).

My keyboard keys aren't stuck, I've double checked this. Any Idea?

I just bought this keyboard and was wondering if there is any way to get the full set of function key functionality from it as from the Apple Keyboard. Is there any way I can remap F1 to lower brightness, F2 to increase it, F3 to Exposé and so on and so forth?

I was able to use the Mac OS drivers for the MS Natural Keyboard: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000

You saved my day man. Thanks a lot!

glucopilot I have no idea how you figured that out but thanks so much for sharing, that was exactly my issue !

So I just bought the Microsoft Sculpt desktop... and the numbers on the number pad do not work. Everything else on the number pad seems to work... but not the actual numbers. Any thoughts?

I rarely find my exact question already asked, and even more rarely, an answer that works. Thanks, Byron and glocopilot!

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.

I can't believe it, but glucopilot's suggestion worked. I never use the F key in question, and it didn't look stuck, but pressing/wiggling the F5 and F6 key fixed my issue!
