Title: Matias Mini Tactile Pro (White) works on pc?
Post by: fishcola on Sat, 15 August 2015, 11:29:54

I like the way the white one looks ...  Have any owners had problems using them on non-mac systems?

I have borrowed a Mac Ergo Pro and am using it with my PC (mainly in Linux but briefly in Windows too) and apart from the dodgy legends the only problem is that by default the F1-12 keys send Mac commands and you need to hold FN to send Fx.

There are some hidden switches one of which swaps between Mac and PC mode so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same on the Mini (more of one layout is cheaper than less of multiple very similar ones) - it's worth asking Matias :)

Thanks, I'm going to shoot Matias a message. Out of curiosity, do the matias tactile and quiet switches feel similar and only sound different?
