I just looked at every key on the keyboard and I do not see one.... I tried all of the f keys and the small icons that they are associated with using the ctrl key. I don't believe there is one... Sorry. It is a very nice keyboard though btw.

You are welcome... It is different for every keyboard but I would imagine that the Microsoft devices wld use the same utility.. It is just a driver really.. Same goes for their wireless mouse

I can't be for sure if it is, because I don't run Windows 8 on my computer, but I would be surprised if a MICROSOFT keyboard wasn't compatible with WINDOWS 8 :)

No; this keyboard was designed in the early 2000's it is USB w/ two USB ports on the back to run other things. It is a great keyboard for FPS; every key you might need is BIG and right where you would want them... but as far as I know it doesn't even have an update for the key mapping software for Win 7; and I have looked...I still use it because I got spoiled using on Black Hawk Down....a LONG time ago, lol

No there is not! But it is an exact replica of a full sized keyboard that is used with a standard computer. Fn keys operate the functions at the bottom if the top row of keys! I hope that helps :)

Does this keyboard have keys for Microsort Word like ctrl-B for bold-face type, etc.?

I don't know, i have windows 7. If it does work you wont regret the cheap purchase for a decent quality keyboard. If it doesn't you can probably send it back.

I have never used this function but I do not see a key that is designated as an F Lock key. Research tells me it should be locate above the Backspace key but there is no such key on this keyboard.

To be honest, I don't know. But it comes with its own USB adaptor, so basic functions should work. But Windows-specific keys probably don't.

I've used the keyboard only with a Dell PC, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. The one recurring problem with the keyboard is that the letters eventually rub off. I'm on my third Dell SK-8135 keyboard, and it's happening again. Otherwise, it's the best keyboard I've had.

The keyboard model I bought does not. Other models may. Read the description closely on this point.

Yes and yes. My laptop has windows 8 installed. This keyboard works perfectly.

I don't have it handy to test, but from what I recall about a month ago, it worked on Ubuntu 12.04. However the double characters on a single key press problem remained as far as I remember. Sorry can't help more.

I typed the product name into Google, then clinked on the link at microsoft.com. I found my way to the links to update the keyboard software for Windows 10 and for the Quickstart guide. There is also a larger Product Guide but haven't downloaded that one yet.

I tried using "sharpkeys" and wasn't successful. I got a question about microsoft N.E.T. Any suggestions about using this program. Thanks. John Helm

I use only Win7, so I cannot vouch for Win8.1...but all the keys below the top row of special function keys will certainly work as usual. The F1-F12 keys should work as usual (according to the application being run) but the alternate functions of those keys (e.g. Search, eMail, Volume, play, stop, rewind, etc) will likely not work unless the proper driver is installed. I do not know if a driver for Win8.1 is available.
