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.

“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
