inimicus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yeah, mine doesn't work in DOS, either. Whatever. I just keep a {censored} PS2 keyboard on the box and hit the arrow keys when needed.

badluck Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 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. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133423-apple-keyboard-and-hackintosh-problem/#findComment-947064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartNijland Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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).

Embio Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133423-apple-keyboard-and-hackintosh-problem/#findComment-985055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingaling Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 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...

Rynomite Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 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.

splonk Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 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.

enb14 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 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.

SticMAC™ Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 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 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.
