Well, it seems, I only write blog entries to try out new keyboards So – I’ve bought yet another Apple keyboard, this time the new thing metal brushed keboard.

This one’s especially nice – somthing I’ve though of the other one as well. First, let me say, it’s a normal USB keyboard and it works out of the box on a Windows machine – the guys from the Apple store weren’t sure about that, though.

I still need to use SharpKeys to remap Alt and Command keys, but that’s ok. One thing, however, is a bit sad: Apple placed a “fn” key right above the delete-key. On Un*x systems, one often uses the key Shift-Ins to copy thing from the clipboard to the current cursor position – the “fn” key is not remappable under Windows, as it seems (I’ve googled for this one but found no solution).

You’d probably need a software upgrade for the keyboard, so it would send the key with an own keycode… But anyway, it still feels great to type on this keyboard, so I can only recommend it.
