- spamking, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20I heard if you press on the keys, letters appear on the screen.... amazing
- bakingoven, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Apple usually advertises features of their products on apple.com like here: http://www.apple.com/keyboard/
- FareTheeWell, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8"Sound" controls also work on the old keyboard. Thanks. Plus I didn't know about the "Not new to the aluminum keyboards" controls.
- damnyooneek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5thats only a rumor i wanna see pics
- gavroche, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6you can plug an apple keyboard on a windows machine
- blatantly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I also use quicksilver triggers - it's free and not too tricky. Keys set up are: ctrl-option-command arrow keys. Works in any application (except UT2004 unfortunately)
- ploke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You can do it with quicksilver triggers.
- danrik, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8Uhm.... all of these work on my powerbook keyboard. Nothing to see here, move along.
- bob12321, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wow, down.
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I use a program called "SizzlingKeys". I'm sure there are others, but that's just the one I use. It displays a nice little notification in the corner when you change tracks or pause, and it even has the album art in it.

- davewho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3ctrl-w will make your screen psychedelic.
- GregR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I see more trolling and bs but I also see you didn't answer the question.
- GregR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3working mirror: http://islayer.com.nyud.net:8080/blog/?p=231
- TellarHK, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3That's funny, a lot of people feel the same way about thread posters that crib login names from Star Trek characters.
- zombieball, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah he lost me too. A track to carry a keyboard, huh? A race track? A track and field track? Train tracks?
- ClOlD, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2You're neglecting the sheer mass of it! What good is a keyboard if you can't swing it at an annoying coworker and expect to knock his/her teeth out?!?
- ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Huh? I'm sorry; I just don't follow you. Track?
- macmankev, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1YouControl:Tunes also can map controls for everything from play, pause and skip to even track ratings through hot keys. Plus it's free. http://yousoftware.com/tunes/
- shawnanigans, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Gimmesometune is my favourite.
- marcedwards, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah :(
Hopefully we'll be back soon. Looks like it's the mirror for now. - BoneStamp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's true. Maybe that's why they redesigned them... for post offices, but then they went and got guns. Good argument to go back to the keyboard weapon, rarely lethal.
- xike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Synergy FTW http://wincent.com/a/products/synergy-classic/
- Whosawhatsis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Add Butler and Proxi to the list of free apps that can do it.
- Pushkin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Does it do ctrl-v and ctrl-c ?
that was my biggest problem coming from windows to a mac. - dyranios2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2thank you very much!
- dyranios2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Anyone know of a way to get itunes to pause next track previous track etc like this one does?
I would prefer to keep my white one but keep getting tempted by these itunes controls. - Rileyper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Just seeing how many windows users will do it anyways
- GregR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3What exactly did you find wrong with the new keyboard?
Have you even tried it? - GregR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2the Command Z(undo) X(cut), C(copy) & V(paste) were originally Mac keyboard shortcuts that MS "borrowed". So yes, but you have to use the move convenient Command key.
- TastyLamp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Command+W?
- davewho, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3They didn't mention shift-exposé and shift-dashboard. Totally useful.
- evelian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ugh I HATE when people inform others about information I already know about.
UGH - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Because needing a track to carry it isn't that practical.
- ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0][GS keyboard rulezn0red.
- nekaidesigns, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"I think it's obvious we now have get passed using only a single braincell for input."
Wow, bravo. Poetic in its irony. - samadam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i use menuet. its donationware, so $5 to the EFF will do. Mapped play/pause to end, last to page up and next to page down. works well.
- SlowMotionJones, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Dugg for use of the Queen's English in the spelling of "Aluminium".
- ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Guess he thinks it's too heavy, and is just having trouble being subtle/funny.
I mean, sure; the Model M is heavier than cheap "quiet touch" plastic keyboards, or those made with thin etched layers of lighter metals like this one. I just figure, since it's the one part of your computer that (hopefully, unless you REALLY get frustrated) you're hitting regularly, you want it to have a smooth plastic exterior (so as to not bruise yourself during fits of passion), and a heavy, ridiculously reliable metal plate-and-spring interior. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1the special features are.... a completely wasted server?
- bob12321, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Thats a windows Command, this is for an apple keyboard.
- BoneStamp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I know! At least if you're going to change something, keep the good parts:
1. Key caps that can be rearranged to ***** with those who don't touch type
2. Keys that have good volume so people in nearby rooms can hear how fast you type - ClOlD, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Why companies keep making new keyboards since the release of the IBM Model M, I'll never know...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_Keyboard - dudup, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0How come this was dugg? Burying it.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Don't forget, its an apple-only feature.
No other system can do this! You heard it here, this is an apple first! Anyone else who's OS does this is copying the almighty apple. - YuriSakazaki, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Wow, another Apple article! I thought I'd die without seeing one this hour, thanks!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Keep digging down but it's the very reason many don't buy apple. Excellent quality, check. They can now run any operating system, check. Assuming the user is an idiot that can't tell his arse from his elbow, check.
- shawnanigans, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Gimmesometune is my favourite.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2For all the quality of apple that I admit, I must say their input peripherals are *****. Yes, they could have been the pwnage in 1981 but I think it's obvious we now have get passed using only a single braincell for input.
- ZogDog, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2Control+A+Command+P+Option+9+Shift+L+fn+E = fanboy easter egg
