This is a shot in the dark, but if the # of keys are the same on the Windoze and Mac version, try the mac driver even though you have the kbd with a windows key instead of an apple key. the worst that could happen is it would not work at all and you might need to plug in a standard kbd temporaraly to swap the driver back for the Goldtouch. -- I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments.
