Hi All, Has anybody got the media keys to work using this keyboard, ie the play rewind vol + vol -. my keyboard works fine but no media keys.
Thank you for any help Firewalk |
The only comfort of a Microsoft wireless comfort edition keyboard is that you don't have to plug a cable when you throw it out the window...
No, it won't work. I have a Logitech Keyboard and I could only have access to the additional keys if I use it on USB. But volume and mute works, that's enough. |
True tis a big bulky piece of ...., no biggie though. thanks for your help

Firewalk, if you consider to buy an alternative keyboard, get the wired Apple Keyboard.
I have used many keyboards in the past, and this one is amazingly good. It gives me the same feeling like using a real Mac, with it attached to my AMD Mac. I have my Mighty Mouse attached to the right side of the Keyboard, as it has 2 USB Ports. I use the left one for external harddrives, Nikon Camera, and purposes like that! :) Also, I really like the special Keys of the Keyboard for a nice workflow. I am typing very fast, and the flat keys of the Keyboard make me even more flexible. It's thin, it doesn't take a lot of space, it has USB Ports and it has the flattest keys, and it's by Apple, hence 100% compatibility with our beloved System. :) The Design is gorgeous in my opinion. Greetings |
I could recommend the Logitech Internet Navigator. It also has the Apple Keys, it's not too big and has an optical mouse. Volume and mute were working out of the box. It costs about 20 Eur on ebay. I have 3 laying around here for spare.

Hi Guys, Dont suppose the wired Apple keyboard works with xp and vista (i still use XP as my home theatre) i triple boot using easybcd so wouldn't want to keep swapping keyboards.
i imagine the logitech one will..thanks for your advice. what about compatable tv cards DVB-T (i have two Lifeview DVB-T pci cards which i know wont be compatable) any that are or is it just eyetv.. kind regards Firewalk |
Firewalk: It works perfectly with XP and Vista!

Naquaada, I actually also still have one of these, but it's not in use anymore.
I had it a very long time ago, when I used Windows XP! Actually, If I type on it now, my fingers really feel like having to grasp very deep inside of the Keys to make it type. And it's huge on my table, I can't deal with that! Here's a comparison Picture that I just made! http://www.imagehut.eu/images/91301comparison.jpg :D Greetings |
Firewalk: Are u using a Windows Media Center Remote with Windows? You can also use the Apple Remote with it, if it's a version with IR receiver.
Puttabong: Mine is slightly different, the blue stuff is silver and it's wireless of course. I was never a friend of the apple keyboard optics, especcially the ones from the Macbooks. Maybe if I could test one longer I would change my mind. Very important for me are volume and mute keys. |
Puttabong, Cool thanks for the heads up i shall add it to my birthday list..
