...which is my fault — very sorry...
As the resident Mac/Unix guy at Matias, I answer most of these questions myself. Unfortunately, as we are heading into CNY (Chinese New Year) I've been crazy busy trying to finish off some projects before everybody blows off for 2-4 weeks.
A small mountain of unanswered emails awaits... :eek:
--- Quote from: jeantil on Mon, 27 January 2014, 07:59:27 ---Anyway the function keys are indeed compatible and I have volume and brightness control from the keyboard.

Yes, Scroll Lock and Pause keys control screen brightness, and you can swap the Alt and Win keys into the correct positions for Option and Command by following these steps...

Yes, I have heard that before...
Our translator actually puts a lot of effort into those, but it seems that French varies a lot between regions. They always end up sound mangled to somebody. Maybe next time we'll just use Google. ;)

Now you are pushing it. I dare you to find one single French region in world where they are not going to laugh at this one. I think your translator's ego is just too big to admit it was an error. I can assure you that this cute typo is not going to stop me from buying more Matias keyboards or recommend them to others.
Please don't use Google.

I saw a video of one at a trade show, I don't know if it was a prototype or final but it looked like a right angle USB connector.

Yes, you are correct.
The cable connects flush against the top edge of the keyboard, with the cable plug to the left. See attached.

Sorry to revive this thread but I need to quote this image. It shows a micro USB right angle connector. My laptop pro has 3 standard size USB ports. Which makes it hard to charge since most charging cables people have lying around are micro-usb! Are there revisions of the Laptop Pro with micro USB connectors and where do I find one ?

Good stuff.
