I got a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard. My Macbook Pro was able to detect it and use it. The keyboard has a lot of extra keys, such as keys to control the volume and put the computer to sleep. The Macbook Pro recognizes some of these keys and respond to them correctly. However, there are some keys which do not work, like "My Documents" and "Mail." I tried to set these keys up using keyboard shortcuts in system preferences, but when I press the key for the keyboard shortcut, the computer doesn't seem to detect anything.
How can I set up these other keys to do useful things?
The extra keys don't generate any key codes, even the keys that work. So now I'm wondering how the Mac is able to respond to these keys that work even though they don't generate any key codes. – tony_sid – 2010-09-04T04:25:20.097
Maybe because it's a bluetooth keyboard? I'm sort of stumped now... – jsejcksn – 2010-09-04T06:06:04.427
Can the Key Codes app read it now? – jsejcksn – 2010-09-04T06:18:35.817
Yes, it's a bluetooth keyboard. After installing the ItelliPoint software the Key Codes app still can't detect anything from those keys, but those keys work now and can be configured. – tony_sid – 2010-09-04T06:49:09.473
Great!
Don't forget to mark your question as answered... maybe you can give the answer to yourself? Haha. – jsejcksn – 2010-09-04T09:44:45.890
