Vista Driver for Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard Model: SK-8135
Hello i was wondering if there there are drivers available for the Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard Model: SK-8135 to work. The keyboard runs fine, however, I'd like to have the multimedia buttons compatible to work with my Operating System as well. I've searched around, and have not have found any solution. I hope this is the right forum topic to post this question in. I appreciate your time, Thanks!

Those 8 hotkeys are only supported by the following operating systems -
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows XP
Red Hat Linux Enterprise WS Edition
That being said, I am using the SK-8135 keyboard on Windows 7 Ultimate and they all work.

Do you have it directly plugged into the USB port or do you have it in a USB hub before going into the computer?

Hey the Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard Model: SK-8135 works perfectly on vista (including) the multimedia capabilities.
All I did was plug it into the USB port.
I have it working for an Inspiron 1501 (Vista Home Basic) and also an inspiron 6400 (Vista Business Edition) without a problem.

I see that this post is a bit old, but I have a question...
I just upgraded my system to W 7 Professional from Vista. the 8135 MM KB worked on Vista perfectly, but now on 7 the 8 hot keys work, but the mute button does not except when the system is locked. The volume control knob works, along with the other buttons...just not the mute button (unless my screen is locked).
Any ideas? I have removed it and reinstalled under devices and also tried updating driver but to no avail.

Hi, i just recently upgraded to vista ultimate and my keyboard is fine and it is just using a HID compliant driver, part of windows.
The only problem i have now is the number lock button doesn't stay locked on...but i'll work that out soon.
hope that helps,
