Keyboard drivers

Today, the majority of standard computer keyboards will be automatically detected and installed by the computer operating systems.

Computer keyboards that utilize distinctive interfaces, such as FireWire, may require additional software and drivers to function properly. This condition also applies to keyboards with special function keys. We recommend that you visit the keyboard manufacturer's web page to obtain drivers for your keyboard.
