LaminarFlow Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I have a PS/2 keyboard for my hackintosh that has extra features like itunes controls, internet, email, back, forward, sleep, etc, and I'd like to get them working under OS X. Right now, the volume keys work fine, and if I press the sleep key it shuts the computer down immediately, no warning Is there an app out there that will let me edit those extra keys?

LaminarFlow Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Apparently no one knows of anywhere shareware app out there or anything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 What brand is the keyboard? If it is by Logitech or Microsoft, both make utilities for OS X to control the functions of the extra keys. If it is by some other company, you are likely out of luck (the eMachines keyboard I'm using with my system has volume and mute working, but the internet, e-mail, and search buttons do nothing).

Start typing www.microsoft.com into Safari and it will auto-complete with www.microsoft.com/mac. Go there and you will see a list of the main Mac-compatible products on the left. Click on "Other Products" and you will get a longer list, which includes "Mice and Keyboards". If you click on that, you will get this page : http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts...iceandkeyboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
