Apple Slim USB Keyboard
Has anyone successfully connected the Apple brushed aluminum keyboard (I am thinking the USB one, not the bluetooth) to a linux box? I tried it at an apple store, and liked the feel of the keys, but a search suggests the issue is iffy.

Re: Apple Slim USB Keyboard
I have it set up. Works great - Ubuntu got the volume keys set up automatically (after selecting the keyboard type). On the one I got (iDigital with the number pad), I often accidentally hit the eject button, so I disabled it in Linux. I seem to remember a problem with using the function keys, but I haven't used that computer in some time... The enter key is smaller than a standard keyboard - at least on mine. That took some getting used to. Keep in mind that as cool as they look, they keyboard feels different - I still type slower and with more errors on my apple keyboard than on my standard IBM keyboard. Also notice that the smaller keyboard (without the number pad) has the ctrl key *not* in the corner. That makes writing in terminals a tad weird for me. The large keyboard doesn't have this problem. -Mike 2010/10/14 Steve G. word...@gmail.com Out of the country for a while... Maybe someone else can try and report?

Re: Apple Slim USB Keyboard
Just to clear up the comment - I have both the large keyboard (connected to Linux) and a small keyboard (BlueTooth, connected to a mac). -MIke On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 6:35 AM, Michael Tewner tew...@gmail.com wrote: I have it set up.
