Title: Tenkeyless mechanical for both Mac and PC?
Post by: Geeek on Sun, 20 March 2011, 10:35:21

Hi everyone, new poster here- former lurker.

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard that I can use on my dual boot OSX/Win Vista machine. I was pretty set on grabbing a Noppoo Choc Mini but then I found out it didn't work on Mac :(. It looks like the PLU ML-87 suffers from the same problem.

I'm looking for a small tenkeyless board that will work on both OS's...any suggestions?

Nope. The PLU don't have this problem.

MACOSX tested and approved!

My Filco Majestouch Linear R tenkeyless works fine in OS X. I'd be surprised if their other keyboards didn't work also.

ooh...I thought I found someone complaining of the same issues but this is encouraging.

I do love the even smaller size of the Noppoo though. Are there any other keyboards that small that work on Mac as well?
