I recently acquired this amazing new keyboard, but I don't know where to install the mac drivers for it? I'm currently running osx yosemite

You don't need drivers.
Mac Mode is enabled via dipswitch setting.  ;D

Set the dip switch to Mac mode, and try using the media keys without any drivers. It works just fine for me and I tested on three different Macs running Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite.

Hmm, the fnc key seems to not be working. i closed the keyboard setup assistant without finishing it, so it must assume the keyboard is a regular ANSI layout. i tried going into library to change some of the settings, but the com.apple.keyboardtype.plist wasn't there  :rolleyes:

The only thing you really need the drivers for are the media keys.

The media keys (such as they are) work without the drivers on both my Macs. A couple of random keys also seem to trigger screen brightness on my Macbook Air -- again, without the driver installed.
