			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At work, I recently moved to one of the slim aluminium Apple keyboards, and I love it. Linux and the keyboard play nicely together without any hassles whatsoever. So, emboldened by this success, I bought another one for use at home &#8212; with my Windows machine. The results were, well, less than dazzling.</p>
<p>Whilst the keyboard&#8217;s basic functions pose no problem to Windows &#8212; it is, after all, just a USB keyboard &#8212; there were some problems, especially with the Function keys. Basically, the [fn] key doesn&#8217;t seem to generate a recognisable keycode for Windows, which meant that I didn&#8217;t have access to all the spiffy multimedia controls and so on.</p>
<p>After much googling and installation of keyboard drivers originally distributed with Apple&#8217;s Boot Camp, I eventually stumbled across a great little utility by <a href="http://petr.lastovicka.sweb.cz/others.html">Petr Laštovička</a>, which allows a fairly clean and simple remapping of keys to functions. [For the Googlers who've arrived here looking for a solution to the Mac Keyboard + Windows problem, it beats out Sharpkeys for me because it can handle key combos.]</p>
<p>So, ultimately, I have ended with a very good-looking, nice-feeling keyboard that works 99% of the way I want it to. My biggest gripe is that changing the volume now requires me to press [Command]+[Fn]+[F10/F11/F12], rather than just [Fn]+[F10/F11/F12], as I can in Linux. I&#8217;m quite happy with this keyboard &#8212; although it&#8217;s not 100%, it&#8217;s definitely much better than most similarly-priced keyboards (at $69AUD).</p>
