-CEOS- Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 i think they should work in osx by default. but you can just use them in programs which support media keys. and i think the only program which support them in is iTunes. to use them in windows, you will probably have to install boot camp or a keymapper Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210717-how-to-enable-media-keys-on-apple-pro-keyboard/#findComment-1410109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what happend. Anyone here is using Apple Pro keyboard?
