I hate to drag up and older thread, but the pictures show exactly what I don't have.

In the picture above, it looks like there is a single keyboard and mouse box. I have separate boxes for keyboard, mouse, trackpad and bluetooth and the option to return F1-12 keys to standard function is not there.

I just got a Logitech K800 and for the most part everything works, but I would like to make a couple of changes:

Expose to F3 from F9
Dashboard to F4 from F12
Currently the F12 operates the Dashboard if you tap and release, but if you hold it, it Ejects.

I have tried double-clicking and tapping the key I want, but that does nothing.

Thanks

That's because the screen captures are Leopard. In Snow Leopard "Keyboard & Mouse" are separated. Here's the Snow Leopard screen.

You can edit keyboard shortcuts by going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts

I do not have that option on mine. Just the second option.

Do you have your keyboard connected and recognized?

You can set these in the Expose & Spaces preferences. They're not under Keyboard because it's not an Apple keyboard and the keys you're assigning are "normal" function keys rather than Apple's custom ones.

Typed this response on it. So I make the assumption it is connected. I also have the stock wireless Apple keyboard connected as well via BT.

That did it.

Thanks!
