Sabr Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey all... I've got a ZBoard (gaming keyboard), and some of the multimedia keys work: Volume +, Volume -, the mute button, and a button which can eject and close the CD/DVD Drive Now, my question is this. Why is it some of them work and the others don't? And is there any way I can set/configure the other ones? Do you think it just involves adding Dev and Vend ID's to a certain plist file, or...? Thanks, SABR Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11235-keyboard-multimedia-buttons-some-of-them-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampTK Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Just a thought, but maybe you guys can make those buttons to work: First check if OS X gets a usable keyboard input from does keys: Go keyboard shortcuts on system preferences (anywhere else you can set a shortcut) and pretend to change any of the shortcuts with the non working keys like "play" "pause" "next" and see if the app gets an input (don't leave any changes) . if it does: Download one of those apps that lets you link a applescript with a keyboard shortcut (there are many), make some scripts and link them to those buttons and presto. the scripts can be seriously simple: tell application "iTunes" to next track If the not working buttons and only the multimedia buttons you can also download one the small apps that add keyboard shortcuts to those functions and set those keys in place of the default shortcuts. (like GimmeSomeTunes) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11235-keyboard-multimedia-buttons-some-of-them-working/#findComment-125221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
