Apple Extended Keyboard I (AEK - M0115) Questions
« on: Sat, 28 March 2020, 12:08:19 »
Hi everyone. I have a few AEKs. Just pulled them out of storage. Love them. But with the current mac operating system and the Griffin iMate (I have two of the latter); the caps lock keys don't work when connected to my iMac. Meanwhile if I connect the keyboards to my PC at work, the caps lock works. The shift keys work on the mac and PC.  So it's not the iMate or the keyboard since it works on a PC... must be a software issue on the mac not recognizing the caps lock being down? Any idea how to correct? (I'm on 10.15.3 Catalina).

Also, can anyone point me to how to remove and reinsert the space bar key on the AEK?

Thanks!

Rick

There is a new converter that is better and cheaper than the iMate, people were talking about it here a few months ago.

The space bar pulls straight up, but when it goes back down you will probably need to re-seat the wire into its clips with a small flat head screwdriver.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
