I'm not sure if i can make this type of thread
Calling all apple keyboard owners!
Fellow Apple Keyboard owners, what compelled you people to buy this little elegant keyboard? It's no mechanical, we all love it, it feels good, and has great looks!
Which keyboard do YOU have? Why did you buy one? How does it feel to use?
What do you like best ?
I've got the good old Apple Wired Keyboard with numpad. I would've gotten the wireless one, but sadly, it doesn't have the numberpad. What i like is the design, and the ease of use. I can type very well on it.
Tips & tricks are also welcome
If you don't use the F buttons (F2,etc), you can try out this application:
http://applewirelesskbrd.codeplex.com/
What it does is give you the functions of the media keys, with mac like onscreen popups. I can confirm it doesn't affect sleep mode either. The only annoying part is starting it at each startup.
But, there is a remedy
(or two actually
A) Place a shortcut to the .exe in one of these folders (depending on your os) to get it to automatically start upon startup.

b)
(Thanks user killeraxemannic)
Maybe we can get a owners club going....
