Ink enabled when using Microsoft keyboard

[Mercellus]

Hi everyone,

I have a bit of an odd situation. I purchased a Microsoft Digital Media Pro 3000 keyboard today (great boxing day sale for $14.00!) and noticed that in System Preferences I now have an option for Ink - this wasn't there before and it disappears as soon as I unplug the keyboard, does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks!

Sounds like a preference editor for the keyboard. did you install anything when you got the keyboard? I have a logitech mouse that had some software with it to make changes to the buttons and such.

Unless he's talking about Inkwell.

No, I didn't install anything with it at all. And yes, it is the native Ink functionality in Mac OS X (Inkwell) that is becoming enabled when the keyboard is plugged in.

That could be it. I don't have it enabled in my Sys Pref. because I don't have anything to use it with. Kinda why I forgot about that option... little snipit of what it does

Oddly enough I don't have anything that can utilize it either, I mean it's a keyboard for crying out loud!

Later on in 2009 when Keyboard and Ink decide to make a pen and tablet so that this whole thing would make sense. Haha!

Hmm I think I might just take the keyboard back. I wonder where I might be able to come across one of the older style Apple Pro keyboards, maybe eBay?

You don't like the keyboard? Is Ink causing problems? Or are you jealous of the relationship that has formed between your keyboard and Ink...

No it just bothers me, plus some of the functions that are supposed to work don't.

I've noticed the same problem when using a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard. For a moment I was a bit too excited. I thought that Apple had somehow sneaked in an update that makes use of the large unibody trackpad as a tablet.
