    Old VS New Magic Keyboard

    I didn't realize this until just now, so I wanted to give you all a heads up. I thought the only real difference between the old Magic Keyboard and the new Magic Keyboard was the port used to charge it. I didn't try adjusting the volume until today. I couldn't until I realized Apple moved the...

    History of the command key

    I only knew a little bit of this. I think this guy makes great videos about Apple. He is sometimes critical of some of the decisions Apple makes, so this channel is not for you if you want a content creator who praises everything Apple does.

    Alternative to Apple Keyboard

    My old Apple full/wired keyboard (A1234) finally stopped working the other day - the caps-lock light is stuck on but nothing else works. I was using it with my Mac Studio M1 Max. I'd like to get a new keyboard but not an expensive Apple one, so I was wondering what are the best alternative...

    Allow full access keyboard question

    Hi all, Does anyone know if “anything you type…” includes the standard built in keyboard? If there was a comma after typed I would understand it to be contained to only the gif tenor keyboard, but in its absence it’s a little ambiguous. Thanks.

    When is Apple going to fix the glaring inconsistency of the fn key?

    Apple has a reputation for attention to detail, but I have no idea how this travesty made it through the design process unchanged. All of the other modifier keys (control, option, command) have the key's name at the bottom, and the icon on the top right. However, when the fn key was given the...
