Right. That turns off the backlight which saves a bunch of power. F2 to
bring it back up again.

Main problem I've had with using Windows keyboards on the Mac has
not been connecting them but that the option and command keys get
flipped. Normally from left to right on laptops it is function,
control,option (alt), command but on windows keyboards they
probably won't have the Function key and the command/option keys
switch places. I think there is a way to remap those keys so the
go back to their normal places but I eventually got tired of it
and went with an Apple keyboard. To be clear, non-laptop Apple
keyboards also lack the function key since that is usually for
doing things like change the speaker volume or dim the screen.
Speaking of which, you can get a lot more battery life out of your
laptop if you turn the brightness all the way down by hitting F1
about 16 times.

Hi List,
I have a wireless that I'm using on several Windows
computers. Wonder if this same model would be compatible with my
MacBrook, or will a specific model be needed?
