You can press F1 anytime. It's not tied to any particular application
although the computer has to be on for it to work.

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?
