Function Of Keyboard And Mouse In Computer

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.

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.

Bought this to use with a Mac--first time user switching from PC. Plug and play with the new Monterey iOS. This keyboard is solid and stays where you place it, clicky keys are not too noisy, nice spacing between keys, nice contours of key caps, nice having the sound volume control wheel, and the display bright and dimming function keys. This keyboard has two USB A hubs built into the back side. For now, I've plugged in a new Logitech corded M500s mouse also from BH Photo. So, I do not have to recharge keyboard or mouse--both are corded and work fine for me. Great typing experience on this keyboard and boosts productivity. I do have an Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse. Might use them on occasion, but Das Keyboard for Mac will be my first choice. So glad they make this product. There is also a third-party app that I can load, recommended by Das Keyboard, to tweak other function keys. I am fine as is.

I have been using this case for about two weeks. I am very impressed with its function and use. The thing that I am most pleased about is the way the case protects the side of the iPad. I think this is a significant advantage over the case made by apple. Typing on the keyboard is great and having a mouse pad make this thing awesome for productivity. The previous iPad and case I had came with a keyboard but not a mouse. This is a game-changer for me. Also, the fact that the keyboard is backlit makes this a fantastic buy. My only criticisms and they are not deal breakers, is the size of the port for the USB-C. Some of my cables have difficulty fitting into the small hole. Also, the loop for the pencil, is a bit cheap, and because it is not centered on the edge of the case it annoys me that it sticks out a little bit past the edge. These are very minor issues and not something that would prevent me from buying this case.

Hooked it up and it works. You may have to unplug your keyboard or mouse and plug it back in to get the secound computer to reconise it.

Works will with my computer and because the mouse and keyboard use the same USB port it frees up space for other uses

At first glance it is very nice, but at the same time it fulfills the function of protecting the computer from scratches and bumps. The glass protector helps keep the screen from marking when it comes in contact with the keyboard. And the keyboard projector is essential to keep dust and liquid out in case of accidents. A product I highly recommend!

I don't necessarily need the higher-level features like the keyboard macro function, but the base function of keeping my computer awake works just fine, and the small size means it doesn't leave something sticking out of the side of my computer where it can break off.

I really like the keyboard and the mouse

I use the KVM in a computer repair business, it allows me to have just one monitor and keyboard/mouse and work on multiple computer at once. It has good connections and the cable setup is great.
