I imagine it's both PC & Mac and is just programmed for a Mac. Each key seems to be able to display a symbol so program it for a PC and the apple key would become a windows key.

I have to 2nd RJ's experience with the switch from Qwerty to Dvorak.
It took about 2 months to switch and get up to speed for me. And I can't type in Qwerty without looking at the keyboard. Dvorak is imbedded in Windows (Regional Options for XP IIRC), so it isn't that big of deal to switch from computer to computer. Of course, you'll hear some cursing over the phone when System Admin remotes into your computer to try to fix something and gets a bunch of weird letters instead of what they expected  Dvorak is a lot easier on my hands. My right hand was starting to go numb on me when I typed, even when using a Natural keyboard, which was the impetus for trying something different. I do touch type, so I don't need to see the keys, but Hot Keys are the reason I'd like to have the Dvorak letters on the keys themselves. Take you hands off the keyboard for a second to hit CNTRL+ whatever, when your keyboard reads I instead of C, or > instead of V. And you'll have an idea of what I mean. On a side note, I don't think that Dvorak is that much of an improvement for programmers becasue the /\[], etc. are all typed using the pinky which is definintely not one of the stronger digits.

Well, u can use a M$ mouse on a mac, and an apple keyboard with windows.. so theres no 'mac only' version i'd imagine.
especially as said above, windows/apple key could be interchanged. i'm never gonna pay that much for a keyboard, but, it is pretty cool. it would need to become standard somehow (eg, games automatically loaded the images, and u didn't have to preset/configue it yourself) and bluetooth also. i imagine it will be ruined by the quality of tpying u can do on there thou.. (?) re designers: 2nd looks like some kind of mummy-wannabe and 3rd looks like some kind of man-bear combination they found in the forrest. without those 2 they dont look so weird. |
