For ergonomic reasons, I have begun to use two keyboards at once. However, even with Sticky Keys enabled, modifier keys, such as shift and command, pressed on one keyboard, do not affect the other. Before I delve into Apple's IOKit library in an attempt to write my own driver, I was wondering if anyone was aware of an existing Preference or Utility which fixes this problem.

After installing 10.6.1 I am facing a problem with part of the keyboard shortcuts(the part I have checked).
In the application part I found the shortcuts I have configured in 10.5. But, now they are not functional.
I have tried to assigned this commands other shortcuts but they won't work.
I suppose there is something to configure to make these shorts cut to work.
I really wish the Air hada backlit keyboard as I really think those are cool. Why don't they have one?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI know that the base 2.0GHz MacBooks do not feature the backlit keyboards of the higher-end models, but I was wondering if the actual backlight is physically in these lower-end models and just disabled in firmware or software? Or is it missing entirely?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI just want your opinions on which keyboard is better... the Traditional, Thinkpad-reputable Lenovo X201 keyboard or the Chiclet keyboard of the MacBook Pro. I have experience with Chiclet keyboards with the first generation MacBook I used from 2006 to 2007 and the HP DM3z I am currently using since I bought it in October 2009, and am really satisfied with it, but also was really satsifed with my MacBook Pro "classic" keyboard.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two keyboards, one is a regular Mac keyboard, and the other is a Microsoft wireless one. The problem is I'm used to the command key being where the alt key is on the wireless one and the option key being where the windows flag key is, which is acting as the command key... Is it possible to remap the keys of each individual keyboard instead of on the system? Or would I have to change it every time I switch keyboards? I'm using DoubleCommand as my keyboard remapping software.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf you have to buy your new iMac from one of the retail stores rather than online you will no doubt have had worries about the keyboard.
With the small keyboard bundled many stores will not allow the option of a larger keyboards. Some people have posted here however that some stores where swapping out keyboards for them, others even managed to get a free full size keyboard sent to them after calling apple and complaining.
I'm hoping people will post their keyboard experiences here along with the apple store they visited to help build up a reference list for others in this situation.
I'll start by saying the apple store in Liverpool ONE , will not, under any circumstances swap out keyboards.
Logic Keyboards. I just wanted to hear thoughts and opinions on these for Final Cut Pro. I had a look around and most threads about these were quite old and I wanted to get an up to date perspective. Also, I'm a total noob with video editing and am *just* getting into it but I'd really like to know the usefulness of those little mouse-like wheels. Also, which one should I buy if you recommend it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf a MacBook Pro 15 is your only computer, can it use a remote keyboard? I find that I would rather use the ergonomic keyboards as opposed to the keyboard that is found on the laptop itself. I can type considerably faster with more accuracy and getting to the mouse rather than using the touch pad is also quicker and less time consuming.

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 04/2010-15" and 06/2011-13"
I currently use a Logictech keyboard with my MB Pro, and it is fine. The only issues are that it is big. I do like the somewhat ergonomic key layout. I am, however, interested in finding a keyboard that has both a numeric keypad (disqualifies the Apple wireless) and that can turn on my MB Pro without my having to open the computer and hit the button. I know, a stupid thing, but I like it. Does the Apple Wired keyboard have the on/off ability? Anyone use the RocketFish keyboard? Has a keypad.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a bella Pro Series video editing keyboard mapped for final cut. It has Media key and a jog wheel. Anyway, because of the symbols on the keys it is hard to see the letters. I have the aluminum keyboard that came with my mac pro sitting around and I was wondering if it was possible to use both the aluminum keyboard and my editing keyboard at the same time Or will it create conflicts?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnybody know if the Apple wireless keyboard works with the XBOX 360? Been searching the web (google+mroogle) and haven't found anything except for "if it needs a driver it probably doesn't work". And if you have a wireless keyboard working with the 360 would you mind to post it here? Not much material on the interweb.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo if the new iMacs don't come out soon, I'll be getting a refurb. Now my question is about the keyboard. Is it possible to get a bigger keyboard with number pad instead of the smaller ones? I know you can edit it in the cart on a new mac, but you can't on refurb. Any chance that you can take it to the Apple Store and get the small keyboard exchanged with the larger one?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a new keyboard for my iMac after a beer spill damaged my old keyboard. I went to Best Buy and noticed that all that was available was the new, very thin model of the keyboard with no numeric keypad. I am finding myself making lots of typing errors on this keyboard. Apparently, key sizes are different and the arrangement of even the shift key is not identical to what it was before. Is there any way to buy the old-style keyboards? Or are they out of production now?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI work at our university support desk, and the other day we had a girl bring her macbook pro in. The twist is that she did not shut her mbp off and carried it over open in a downpour. Needless to say it was absolutely drenched. Fortunately the computer suffered no side affects. I personally have spilled a drink on mine (I proceeded to turn it off and remove the battery) but I suffered no side affects. So out of curiosity, do MBs/MBPs have sealed keyboards to prevent against liquid damage?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a quick question about bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse. For some reason I need to pair 2 of each to my iMac. I know I can not pair 2 IR remotes, I learned it the hard way now I have an extra remote laying around.
I guess the keyboard and mouse would work since they are bluetooth but if anyone did it before it would be great to know.
