Remapping Zoom on the Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 - Mac OS X. Worked pretty fine, 10.8 + MS drivers 9.2. Unknown February 23. I upgraded from OS X 10.10 to 10.11 yesterday. When I plug in my MS Natural Keyboard 4000 today, the Windows and Alt keys are no longer swapped. I looked in the Microsoft Keyboard area of the System Preferences. Keyboard Info says no MS keyboard has been detected. Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse on MacOS. I was looking for an all-in-one mouse. After some researches, I ended up buying this Microsoft mouse for my Mac.
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 Keyboard is great to your wrist and hands forpeople who uses keyboards a lot. It’s a quite affordable keyboard as well(~$50).
Microsoft provides Intellitype Pro 8.2 software/driver for Mac OS but theofficial support ends with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). The software works to someextent however with OS X 10.10 Yosemite, for example, you can still swapWindows Key and Alt/Option key to match the layout of a Mac keyboard, which isprobably the only reason I’d need the Microsoft driver.
With the upgrade to El Capitan, Intellitype cannot even detect the keyboard anymore, so it becomes completely useless.

The wonderful thing to me is that Karabiner even has an option for Ergonomic4000 keyboard! All I wanted can be archived by selecting a couple of options:
