not function properly:

with the keyboard to connect the Natural Keyboard Elite to the USB port on
the laptop computer, if one is available.
If a USB port is not available on the computer, contact the Microsoft
Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 to obtain a replacement keyboard. Be sure
to have your product identification (PID) number ready when you call.
