Windows 10: Microsoft Sculpt wireless keyboard

I replaced the batteries on my Microsoft Sculpt wireless keyboard and then started to type. The keyboard worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped. My mouse still works and so does my number pad. If I take the batteries out again new batteries and put them back in it only works again for 5 minutes and same problem. Is there a fix for this problem? I love the keyboard

:)

 

Microsoft Sculpt Mobile Keyboard Pictured

Microsoft is applying the design principles of its September-launched Sculpt Comfort desktop keyboard on a new product targeting Windows 8 tablet-docked desktops and notebooks, the Sculpt Mobile. Measuring 355 x 167 x 13 mm (WxDxH), and weighing 438 g, the Sculpt Mobile is a compact wireless keyboard that uses Bluetooth to talk to its host device. It features a compact 87-key QWERTY layout in a number of IMEs. Pictured below is the Japanese + English keyset. Powered by two AAA-size batteries, the Sclupt Mobile can work up to 5 months with typical usage before needing a battery replacement. It can maintain a range of 10 meters with its included USB Bluetooth dongle, which can vary, if using the tablet's in-built Bluetooth transceiver. Slated for November 2, the Sculpt Mobile is expected to be priced at 4,935 JPY (US $63).

Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Interesting issue:

Recently started a new job, they purchased me the sculpt wireless keyboard and mouse for the office. The 1/! and 2/@ Keys don't always work, weird thing is Microsoft already sent me a replacement and that one does the same thing, I have a Logitech K520 wireless
keyboard at home, and it works just fine. Not sure what they deal is, I have already installed the Microsoft Keyboard and mouse center, I have deleted drivers and reinstalled. Previous to this I had a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic wireless Keyboard and it worked
fine until my company upgraded my computer to Windows 10, it start acting bizarrely and eventually died.

I guess im more than likely going to have to go back to a wired keyboard, not sure whats up with the microsoft stuff but its not working for me. Anyone got any ideas?
