| > Well there is an option for Fx keys as Fx keys instead of shortcuts in Preferences.app If you've plugged an Apple keyboard into a Windows box you know that they don't just send the standard function key codes. I don't think that the PC version's function keys would just work as volume and iTunes keys on a Mac. And even if they did you would have to remember where they are, and how they are different from your MacBook keyboard. Apple routinely shuffles things around. Is F4 a Dashboard key or a LaunchPad key? > But this keyboard, even if it supposedly designed for the mac, won't get my money Ok. > Basically, they took the PC version, didn't change the molds (expansive!!) and just printed some mac-like labels on the key. I'm certain they would have to send different key codes in order to be truly compatible, as they claim to be. > A cheap hack, not worth $133. If someone wants Das Keyboard and also wants the function keys and such to work correctly then maybe it is worth $133 to them. It's not to me, but I can see how it is to some. Even if all they did was change the caps and key codes that could be very valuable to some people. If I were a fan of Das Keyboard I would probably shell out for one. |
