[QUOTE="NSMacGuru, post: 1935717, member: 402209"] I'm always on the hunt for a better keyboard. For reference: My first Apple was the Apple ][+, so I have a loooong history with keyboards. I also write for a living, so I go through a lot of keyboards. And the Apple chiclet designs of recent years haven't been my favourite, and from time to time I play around with aftermarket models. The most recent one was an el-cheapo keyboard that supposedly had great switches, but in the end was uncomfortable and half the functions could only be enabled by installing [URL='https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org'][B]Karibiner[/B][/URL] to remap some keys, but even then there were some that just would not work. And this all coincided with moving my home office into a new space in the basement... which led me to dig out some of my old equipment, including a nice old M7803 Apple Pro Keyboard, released in 2002 (the old beige model, not the black/silver updated one). What a joy to type on! Plugged it into my 5K iMac running Ventura. 100% compatible, comfortable, just the right kind of muted clicky-clacky sound, perfect travel... So all of this to say... on your next keyboard adventure, hit up eBay o Kijiji or something, and find yourself an older model Apple keyboard. It might be just what you need! [/QUOTE]
