Using 60% wired keyboard with Mac


Using 60% wired keyboard with Mac

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Hi,

I have a custom 60% wired keyboard that claims to support Mac, so I intend on using it as it is backlit, has "real" keys, and is awesome to type with.

My concern is whether it will support some of the keyboard functionality of an Apple keyboard, specifically the FN/LOCALE/LANGUAGE button of the new keyboards for shifting function keys to the alternative Mac function (Expose, audio controls, etc.).

Does anyone know what this new key maps as? In my keyboard software it assigns the Mac COMMAND key as "Windows Left", and the ALT keys as simply "ALT" (instead of LEFT ALT and RIGHT ALT under Windows).

If I can make the function shift work under Mac, then all is good, but I'm unsure if I'm going to need to get an Apple keyboard.
