Yeah, mine doesn't work in DOS, either.

Whatever. I just keep a shitty PS2 keyboard on the box and hit the arrow keys when needed.

looks crap because that keyboard is freakin' good (and a little expensive too )

You should try something like 'legacy usb keyboard' in your motherboards bios. Also you can try to disable UHCI for usb devices. Thats all that comes to my mind.

oh. I was about to buy one actually....

Mine works perfectly, but I must turn USB Legacy off else OSX doesn't boot.

But it doesn't matter much, because osx is my online OS. If I need to boot with certain commands I just plug in another keyboard (which does work with usb legacy on).

Peace

I have this problem if I don't boot with a USB drive plugged in - but if I plug the drive in it works fine

enter the setup and disable "USB controller". leave USB legacy at "on" or "auto"... works for me and there seem to be no problems with anything else...

Mines works perfect , BIOS , loader , etc ....

yeah, mine too. I bought it because my PS2 keyboard didn't work during the installation.

have dell vostro 1500 with iatkos v5i updated to 10.5.8

I've also got an aluminum Apple keyboard that I purchased a few weeks ago. I tinkered with the turning the "Legacy USB" support off (which works for getting OSX to actually boot up and not just immediately hang) but I also experienced the problem of not being able to choose an option with the Darwin boot loader. I just found a possible solution that could help you guys as well. I set my bios "Plug and Play OS?" option to NO instead of YES. The only thing I noticed was that I had to unplug the keyboard after getting to the login screen and plug it back in on my first bootup. Since then, every subsequent boot has been problem free. Hopefully this works for someone else because this is seriously awesome keyboard. I'm using the Asus m3a79-t deluxe motherboard in case anyone was wondering.

Cheers.

Don't make the mistake I did of buying the smaller wired keyboard without the numeric pad. This also lacks a Delete button, which is indispensable for getting into the bios. Otherwise, it all works fine in Chameleon.

I have the same problem and not just that aluminum keyboard doesn't works on BIOS, also logitech illuminated keyboard doesn't works on boot up, so is an issue which some motherboards have fixed it with a BIOS update, unfortunatelly my motherboard doesn't has a fix for this issue.

My KBD has a delete!!

If your's don't, like the Macbook Unibody just use the "fn" + "<-"(backspace) buttons!

SticMAC

"fn" + "<-"(backspace) gives you Delete
"fn" + "Delete" gives you Backspace
