Mine works just fine. When my computer gets slow or freezes, I use Ctrl-Alt-Del to access task manager. Hold all 3 keys down just like a keyboard. If yours doesn't work, maybe one of your keys is bad. (I'm on Win 7 too). I think the confusion here is that the seller has changed the product, the original product has a full keyboard, the product it was replaced with didn't. Now I see the original Air Fly Mouse is back. These questions and answers are a mix of both products and therefore are of no help to anyone.

you cant, you'll have to bind it to one of the function keys. I've never had to do it, but this will probably help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc138531.aspx or just google bind keyboard shortcuts

We have only used this with an Android device and not with a computer. Sorry, I'm sure that doesn't help.Miriam

suggestions would include trying the function keys, ctrl +Num and Fn +Num. I have no problems. Did you check online on the eHow and others? Geek type computer sites for others with this keyboard? Good luck.

Try the function "FN" key with the "Z" key. On my laptop it switches through one of 3 modes each time I hit function + z: keys lit for 10 seconds after last press, keys always lit, and key lights always off.

Wireless keyboard and monitor in StarTech, dongle for mice in each cpu. Sounds logical to me!Just looked at other respondent. I don't follow what "crashed" means. I had a problem with StarTech, contacted their tech support. Disconnected everything from StarTech and reconnected. Everything is now fine!

You can program something like Eventghost to use a keyboard shortcut key combination to shut down your PC, or you can use the dedicated Ctrl+Alt+Del key or Windows key to navigate to a clickable shutdown button.

I don't believe so. You need the keyboard access to enter the router access and passwords, but you only have to do it once.

Hi Not Ned. Try unplugging all peripheral devices except the keyboard and mouse. Then hard boot. If that works plug in the disconnected peripherals one by one rebooting each time until the problem reoccurs.

I absolutely loved this keyboard - with windows 7. I have windows 8.1 now and it disconnects randomly for periods of time, and then tries to partially "catch up" when it reconnects. Its terrible.

You pull it out. If you want, you can make a distraction and pull it out then. Unfortunately, the only way that I can think of (I haven't tried it) is to go disable it in the windows control panel (under hardware). Hope this helps!

Hit the 'num lock' key and try the 0 again. The zero key on the number pad is also the 'insert' unless 'num lock' is on. Not sure what's happening with ur ctr keys without knowing what the popup says. But this laptop comes with some predefined shortcuts, so u might be activating one of them - it should give u the option to disable. Otherwise u have to disable it in the control panel.

Changing passwords is very easy! Most annoying thing is characters that require the shift key, i.e. ! @ # etc., are shown in red on the keys. The power on/off button is red......I have turned off the unit multiple times by accidentally hitting the red power button.

Thanks for the info but by clicking stowaway keyboard icon and connect to keyboard command doesn't work. And when I use the connection manager from BB menu it detects te keyboard but I couldn't pair it because it won't accept my password. I think I'll have to use this only for my Sony micro pc.

You need a working key (most recent in use). not necessarily the original key.

To use the number pad on the keyboard turn the NUM LOCK on. If you do not have numbers in your logon password, then disable the keyboard number pad by turning NUM LOCK off.

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

This is a 101-keys keyboard, so you're short of the Cmd key. You can map the Ctrl key to act as Cmd and choose not to have Ctrl key instead. You then can set some important shortcuts with Ctrl (e.g. Spotlight) to use Cmd instead.
