Supercharge Your Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 Workflow – AHK V2 Script

Unleash the full potential of your Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 without the heavy, outdated IntelliType software. This lightweight AutoHotkey v2 script taps directly into Windows Raw Input (HID) to give you total control over your keyboard’s special features. It successfully maps the notoriously difficult “Zoom Slider” (including support for Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win modifiers), the central “Star” button, and all five “Favorites” keys. Whether you want to turn your Zoom slider into a scroll wheel, launch specific apps with the Silver keys, or reclaim your media controls, this script provides a fully customizable, bloat-free foundation for your ergonomic setup.
