# about £8 at a computer geek fest

will only work as usb so f keys on start up are a waste of time, don't know if that applies to macs.

# nice
i have no idea if i can use a non-mac keyboard with this computer as the dvd-drive eject button and the volume controls are actual keys on it

edit: that's a proper old school desk, isn't it? :)

# i only use it to post on here
my little tablet is in front of it, to make matters worse i sit side on to the whole caboodle. typing stuff is a pain and i rarely use shortcut keys anyway. i have been known to move it when i'm actually writing something longer than a glib comment on here, but i'm still side on.

# err wot?
USB keyboards do F keys just fine on start up. I know that for a fact because A. I'm a computer guy and B. I built a machine just last night with a USB keyb and had to make changes in the BIOS.

# cheers for that
i know nothing of these things, bugger wouldn't work when i plugged it into the keyboard socket thing with the little adaptor, i'll fix it on my next start up, what could possibly go wrong.

# USB works fine at boot level with any PC made in the last 10 years.
Some keyboards have an F-lock button that you need to push before it'll send F keys.
(I helped save b3ta! Ratsta, Thu 12 Feb 2009, 22:39, archived)
# all my keyboards need
the Function key deployed at every boot for the F keys to work as normal otherwise they default to the keyboards built in alt functions.

# that's because they're shitty microsoft keyboards or imitations thereof
MS, in their infinite wisdom, decided that people didn't really use the F keys and would be better off with buttons that trigger Outlook Express instead.

# Some USB keyboards
don't work from first time and need to be plugged in for the OS to find them and install and run drivers then often require a reboot.

My cheapass wireless gaming keyboard runs immediately on plugin. my hugely expensive Microsoft Office wireless keyboard and mouse refuses to do anything unless you have installed the software for it, which is a bit shit if you don't have a spare KB handy to install the software prior to plugging in the wireless receiver.

# it's given me a few probs despite the software
i get round it by having 2 keyboards plugged in one usb and my old one plugged in the other little keyboard socket.

# ahsally
Any modern motherboard has BIOS support for USB keyboards and they work to mod the configs. If you want them to work after that (eg to install windows from a CD), you need to go into the BIOS and turn on "usb legacy support".

Inside Windows is a different matter of course.

Rule #1, Microsoft software is bloated, shitty and non-standard enough. NEVER buy MS hardware!

# Why...
...do both notices say "head", when one of them has quite clearly came up "tails"? I hate it when toilet-fruit-machines go faulty.
