I have a passionate hate for the F5-F8 being in that second colour. it ruins the colour balance and I will never get a two toned set for that reason alone

at that point it's not really a portable thing anymore, it's more like a bunch of open frame monitors on admittedly neat folding mounts

back to keyboars, i've been looking for a solution for mac havers at the office that includes a cac style reader and cherry has a bunch, but a lot of them also have credit card readers and i don't even want to imagine the driver hell i'd jump into trying to implement that under osx



use windows 7 embedded or 10 iot and it will just work.

seems pretty decent, but i don't think you can change the caps out; they seem proprietary (of course)

e: i really like the onboard volume control roller thing

I have the roller thing on my g710+ and it feels cheap as hell compared to the rest of the keyboard. my old old mx duo keyboard had the best volume control ever. it was a clicky dial that was the most satisfying thing to turn.

I use emacs so I've always had caps lock as control. There is also a Mac in the background if you didn't notice, it has the Mac layout.

anything else I want I've learned its function key + spot in a matter of days.

does that logitech need any special driver or is it plug and play

for the one i posted all the keys are standard so no. if its another one with macro keys you can do simple macros without the software but if you want to do more complex ones you need the software.

I think its probably because autistics would get mad about the keyboard and attached devices sharing the bus. it also could be that its cheaper for the keyboard manufacturers
