I've got a WD external drive that needs 2 usb connections. The black one gets data, the red one gets power when connected to a laptop. It all goes into the drive through the one mini-usb plug. Don't know how, such is life! It can't get enough power from just one port. Is this similar?

Vlad,

The keyboard has two USB "out" leads, they have only one minor difference and that is the embossing one the usb plug. I have function with either lead and two are not nec. but the booklet says they must both be plugged into the computer (MAc instructions).

Only one lead to a USB2 socket is necessary for my Matias to work. I have no idea which 'second lead' you're referring to. Where in the instructions is this?

I have camera and trackball leads plugged into the Matias. Both work nicely, and I still have a spare port on the keyboard.

Not all the function keys work on the Matias as they do on the Apple keyboard. I use Keyboard Maestro to re-assign the function keys to suit my work.

Does anyone have experience with Matias keyboards? I have just purchased one and it works - most of the time. The instructions say both leads must be plugged in. Which lead is which the booklet does not say and often I need one USB port for a modem.

There are times when I have mouse operational only.
