Ok, this is the last chapter from my experiments with Apple keyboards on a Windows PC. With the slim keyboard I never managed to reconfigure the “Fn” key to something useful – but that was just a side effect.
The main problems I had were that the keyboard is too small. I am a developer and heavy shortcut user, so I need to type all kinds of braces, dashes, dots and so on and also use Ctrl-Shift-PgUp and thelike. Using these key combinations is not easily manageable on the Apple keyboard.
The consequence? I have now invested 20 more €uros and bought the Logitech UltraX keyboard – which I have at work, too. This keyboard is much like a laptop keyboard, features a standard PC design and has a very nice layout and key press feedback.
