Very incredibly pleased with my new keyboard and would recommend it for people who are okay with doing a little bit of work before it’s really good to go, but maybe not if you just want an out-of-the-box experience. I do think I might swap out for a knob in the future, but I’m still unsure.


I did have a little bit of an issue with the included coiled aviator cable (what a great little bonus!) not connecting properly, but I’m not really bothered. If you are having problems with getting an Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard, mouse or trackpad from connecting to your Mac (iMac, Macbook or Mac Pro), you can try this trick. I would maybe like to see an option for a polycarb plate, but I’m not really in a hurry. The following instructions are fairly generic, but were written relating to the Apple Wireless Keyboard from 20 (Use this to help you identify your model). I ended up adding the Kilmat sound dampener, tape modding the pcb, adding a bit of tape between the top & bottom housings, and swapping in some Durock screw-in stabs & Bobagum switches. Turns out, I love it! This board does need a little love before you’re good to go, but I was also looking for a simple project for my first attempt at modding a keyboard, so I had a general idea of what I was getting into. NumLock will function as a NumPadClear button in OS X.I’ve been looking for a 75% board with a fairly low typing angle for a while and stumbled across some reviews for the Q1. To see the option that turns off Mouse Keys, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad.Īnd.OS X does not use the NumLock function and will ignore it completely (Indicator light). If the numeric keypad still doesn’t work as you expect, you may have enabled Mouse Keys, which lets you move the pointer with the keypad. If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Delete. If you’re using a portable Mac, Num Lock is sometimes a function key, marked Num Lock. If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. Usually you use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, but you can also use it to move the pointer and, in some apps, to move around your document. The numeric keypad works in different ways, depending on your Mac, and the keyboard and app you’re using. Press the Num Lock key in the numeric keypad.
