Hello,

I just purchased a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 v2.0 combo for myWindows 7 x64,  that is 

  • a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 700 v2.0
  • and a Wireless Mouse 700 v2.0

Both keyboard and mouse are working well. The problem is that on the Device Manager theyappear only as HID-compliant devices.

Also, there is no support for those devices in Intellipoint 8.0 (x64)

QUESTION: Where can I download Windows 7 64-bit drivers for Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 v2.0  ?

Thanks in advance

My keyboard worked fine and then suddenly it stopped working. This fix worked for me in Windows 8:

Step 1. 

Open up this location: Control Panel \ Hardware and Sound \ Devices and Printers.

Step 2.

Now right click on "Microsoft Wireless Transceiver" and hit "Properties".

Step 3.

Click on the "Hardware" tab, click on the driver and hit "Properties" down in the left corner.

Step 4.

Click on the "Hardware" tab and click on "Change Settings" down in the right corner. Now click on the "Driver" tab and then on "Update Driver Software...".

Step 5.

Now the fun part. I do not know how this was in Windows 7 (maybe the same?), but in Windows 8 you will do it like this. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software" and then on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

Step 6.

Now click on the driver "USB Composite Device" NOT on the "Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 v2.0". And click continue.

Final Step 7.

If the keyboard is working correctly, then do Step 6 again just that you now update your "USB Composite Device" driver to the "Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 v2.0" driver. And it should look something like this (this is on Norwegian):

And your done! Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much.  I had no idea what to do but this was perfect. A couple of minutes and way hay.

    Kind regards,

    Thank you so much for this fix. Although more than 12 months old now I am delighted to find that it also works in Windows 8.1.

    Working in a home office as I do it is very tiring trying to do everything on the laptop keyboard and mouse. The wireless mouse and keyboard prevent shoulder and wrist pain so I was alarmed when they stopped working (more expense??) and delighted to find such a simple fix.

    Thanks again
