I think I made the mistake of buying the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop yesterday.  

I read a lot of the reviews and they were mostly positive, until I actually got my hands on this thing.

I've only used it for a day and I am already holding back the urge to throw it out the window.

Firstly, the information on the website provided by Mohammad is outdated... and I mean seriously outdated.  It isn't called Microsoft Keyboard anymore.  We are now using the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center and have been using this software for years.

Secondly, the only keys that can be remapped through the software are:

Fn+F1 - (Play by default)

Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, Num Lock, Application - Who in their right mind would ever remap these keys ?

Just to show how old this 'new' Ms Mouse & Keyboard Center software is, the links on that software point to pages that are no longer available (so imagine how outdated the information on this link is:  http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/support/how-to/keyboard/reassign-keys )

Hello Ratandeep, Happy 2017. I read your note. I have Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard from Microsoft on Windows 10. I found "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" and installed it in Windows 10, to help me reassign only a few keys on my keyboard. But it only allows you to reassign certain keys. Can you recommend me a different type of solution? I must have pressed one or more keys accidentally when cleaning my keyboard. Only some of the keys output got mixed up (so not all of them). I accessed the device in control panel and checked their quick start guide and all other documents but there is no troubleshooting guide attached to the product. I am still searching for a solution. I hope you or someone else can help. Thank you.
