Computer Keyboards With Keys And Blank Mac Pdf

CM Quickfire Rapid is the ten keyless mechanical keyboard I could find that worked with Mac out of the box. All multimedia keys work with Mac. A lot of mechanical keyboards I researched had some sort of issue with Mac or required some software to be installed. The CM Quickfire rapid works right out of the box. The most you would have to do is update your modifier keys in OSX and switch your key caps for option/command. I own two of these keyboards now, one with blue and one with brown cherry mx keys. I used the blue version for over a year and wanted to get a quieter version for use at work. I tried adding o-rings to the blue keyboard and it greatly reduced the sound by preventing the keys from bottoming out. The main problem I had with this solution was that the click of the blue key switches is still very audible and the o-rings decreased the travel of the keys. Making it feel too short in my opinion. The brown key switch version is much quieter since there's no audible click. To prevent bottoming out, I removed the o-rings I put in the blue version and put them in the brown. Making the brown even quieter than it already was. Perfect for an office environment shared with other coworkers. The brown key switches are nice if you like the the blue keys, but need to do without the audible click. The brown keys have a noticeable bump when you press down on them. Cons: Lack of backlit keys. I don't have a need for the backlit keys, but would be a nice to have. All of the other ten keyless with backlit keys were about double the price of this one. No USB hub. While not needed, would be nice if it also had a USB hub like some of the other mechanical keyboards I researched.

I just bought a new Mac mini, and planned on using Apple's full-size Magic Keyboard 2. But once I tried it out, I was super disappointed—the keys were loud and had very little travel. I did some research and finally landed on this Logitech model. The travel in the keys is phenomenal, and I prefer it even to the older Apple keyboards. Pros: mappable keys (with the Logi Options app), multi-device switching, comfort and key travel, price Cons: the spacebar is six keys wide instead of five like on most keyboards, making it considerably louder than the other keys; the only “fn” key is under the “shift” key I would absolutely recommend this keyboard and plan on buying another if this one ever goes out.

The keys require more depression than Mac keyboards, which took a day or two to get used to. I've had it now for a few weeks and I genuinely prefer the feel of these keys, in addition to established pros like improved workflow.

Pretty, and feels better than the mac keyboards.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

Great quality , easy to on my older Mac desktop, good price. Print & scan quality is very good & quick. Love the auto 2sided print function which our older printer / scanner didn't have. One concern is that when copying the quality is set at Best, cannot switch it to normal. Best is not at all necessary & uses extra (expensive) ink. So I have to scan the document, save to a pdf , then print the pdf which can have adjusted quality. The plastic door / cover clips for the print cartridges seems easy to break. The output tray could be larger since the paper falls on the floor. I usually print only a few pages at a time so it not a real problem but inconvenient. Overall , it serves our household needs well.

This replaced our Scan Snap scanner. One of the best benefit is that when I can it makes it a scannable or searchable PDF. Pretty slick. Highly recommend this scanner. I use a mac for a and use preview mac software to search for files and works great.

Reviewing Plustek in general. I own and use the OpticBook A300 Plus (scans up to 12x17, drivers avail for Windows only ATM) and uniquely to Plustek, they scan extremely close to the edge (a few mm), so they are especially suited to book scanning. Other book scanning options such as a scanner/camera mounted on a stand taking photos of an open book, and then re-straightening the images in software look like a bogus approach if you want quality. Stick to Plustek or similar book-specific flatbed scanners. The software Plustek provides is basic. I recommend using 3rd party software (extra cost, sure) - for ex. VueScan (Windows or Mac) supports most/all of the Plustek scanners (after you install Plustek's own drivers) for scanning. And once a book is scanned to images, use something like ABBYY FineReader PDF for OCR/conversion to PDF, Word docx and other formats. You can even make your own ePub's using a process such as VueScan (Mac or Windows) - FineReader PDF OCR (Mac or Windows) - Export to docx - Import docx to Vellum (Mac only) - lots of manual tweaking - Export to ePub.

We're running control room software from Strasis Systems which directly supports all X-Keys keyboards. This keyboard provides our operators the ability to control what they see which greatly simplifies system interaction. We printed custom overlays for each key making it very simple to find a function quickly... the back lighting works great in low light conditions and is programmable (blue, red, magenta shades only). Overall a industrial grade product... we are very happy and have purchased additional X-Keys keyboards.

Love this silver on silver keyboard. I am sensitive to plastics in keyboards and this one seems to have little or less plastic in the keys
