Question Regarding Function Keys on Japanese Wireless Keyboard

When looking at pictures of Apple's Japanese Wireless Keyboard on the offical store* I noticed something interesting: The 4th function key still has dashboard icon on it. I know that at least on the English keyboard they replaced this with a key for Lion's Launchpad feature. So I'm wondering is this product image still accurate or not?

Which exactly keyboard you are using, can you provide PN pls?
For latest Ultraslim Plus keyboard you have to install SW and driver and that will put into Systray icon where you can switch it. Like on attached image.

Is there a function key on Apple Wireless Keyboard to mimic the roundel key (home)?

While the cheap bluetooth keyboard has a home key, alas, Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't have it to work well with iOS devices. Can it be programmed into F5 or F6 then?

Good luck on the switch. I know I initially struggled with the layout change of many things. If I could give one recommendation/word of advice it would be:
"Learn shortcut keys."
As a Windows user of 15 years, I had become reliant on my mouse (and the occasional alt/tab keys) that I never really explored the world of keyboard shortcuts.
After taking several weeks to finally get the hang of all the various keyboard shortcuts I zip through things now, almost rarely use my mouse except when an ease to use (or remember) keyboard shortcut is available.
Good links already posted above, just more of my 2 cents.

No function key with apple wireless keyboard

I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
OS X 10.5.8

Hi mate,
This worked for me:

How can I set a unique macro for the function keys on my wireless keyboard?

The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

Map Function Keys on a Windows Keyboard

Is there a way I can map/edit the function keys on my Windows keyboard? I want to create a quick shortcut to assign one of my function keys to be able to move a file to the trash can.

Nevermind. The keyboard shortcut menu in preferences works. The problem was that I typed "Move to trash" instead of "Move to Trash"

The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer scroll.

The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer respond or scroll. They will page down with the fn/command key, but do not respond by themselves. How can I fix this? This is with an iMac, 10.7.5. Thanks..

I'm having similar issues with the wireless keyboard, the brightness buttons aren't working and Apple can't seem to fix the issue. They replaced the keyboard for me and the initially worked but now they aren't and this was replaced today.
Can you please let me know how you fixed the f1 and f2 keys? Everything else works for me...

Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard, 5 keys not working.

Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard with rubbing alcohol. Now my number 2 key, w, s, x and caps lock keys won't work. I copy and paste these right now. I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out, but I didn't notice that my keys didn't work till 2 days later. I did leave my keyboard in the sun to see if it helped for about 45 min. It's still not working. Any suggestions? Hope There is a way to save my keyboard.

I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out,
Never clean a keyboard with rubbing alcohol and never leave the keyboard in the sun, or any Apple products for that matter.
You may need to purchase a new keyboard.
In the future, follow the instructions here > How to clean Apple products

How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

Hello all.
Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it. Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard. The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys. Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard. I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
Cheers

I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
"The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.

TS3048 Key sticking on Wireless Keyboard

The / key on my wireless keyboard either doesnt work or comes on and gets stuck on. I have tried to change the key repeat and delay until repeat settings, changed batteries, tried it with different computers and the same issue continues. Any clues??

Sounds like a physical issue with the keyboard. I'd take it to apple if still under warranty.

F# keys on Apple Wireless Keyboard not working correctly.

Hello everyone,
Today I bought a brand new Apple Wireless Keyboard (the small ones who resemble laptop keyboards), which I'm very glad I bought as some keys on my older keyboard started not working anymore.
I configured the keyboard with bluetooth and it's working just fine, except for one thing:
The F# keys don't work as their respective icons indicate (i.e. If I press F10, F11 and/or F12, the volume isn't affected as it normally should, but instead the keys don't seem to respond, as if I weren't pressing them).
In the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences, under the Keyboard Shortcuts, I managed to reset the F1 to F4 keys so they work as their respective icons indicate, though I didn't find and don't know how to create any shortcuts to make the volume keys (F10, F11 & F12) work again.
Also, I would appreciate if you could help me out to reset the F7, F8 & F9 keys, which don't work either.
I tried checking and un-checking the "Use the keys F1, F2 and so on, as standard function keys." option under the Keyboard tab, and pressing the "fn" key while pressing the F# keys, but none of those attempts seem to change anything to how the F# keys work.
I don't know what else to do anymore and I would really appreciate some help now.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Oscar.

Shutdown your macbook.After thats done , switch the wireless keyboard off. Press Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Key (all together ) and then release together. Start up the macbook and once that's up start up the keyboard.Try now.The keys should work fine.

Is there a way to Change the Function keys on a bluetooth keyboard for ipad

I just got kensington wireless keyboard for my ipad 2 but the program that i am using dosent allow me to use the function keys instead for volume, brightness ect.

I have had to explain often that no pressure is needed. It's a "touch" screen, not a "press" screen. Most people believe they have to push down hard to make some sort of contact.

HT5633 use of fn key with Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B

Are the rules for using the fn key with the most recent
Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B posted anywhere on Apple's site? Thanks.

Unfortunately i don't have a solution to your issue, but I thought I would mention the same issue with the new keyboard (MC184LL/B) and the iPad 2 running ios 4.3.5. None of the function keys work as they should.
I recently received the older model (MC184LL/A) from FutureShop (Canada's sister to Best Buy) and everything works fine. Perhaps you should seek out and buy the older model before they are phased out.
My only concern in saying this is I hope the update to ios 5 does not cause the older model keyboard to suddenly lose function key performance. Similarly, I'm not sure the older model keyboard will work if you upgrade to Lion.
I called Apple support about this issue and they found some info on the same iPad forums I have read, but they had no inside scoop on whether the issue was going to be addressed in further ios (or Mac OS) updates.
If you want to keep your new keyboard, you might just have to wait and see if the issue is resolved.

Sticking keys on new wireless keyboard

Hi
I just got a brand new wireless keyboard for my laptop. The S and A keys stick now and then and leave a loooooong trail of s's or a's across my screen. Any idea what is going on here?
I also seem to loose connection now and then, could that have to do with the line of 'sight' between the laptop and the keyboard? I have the keyboard on a pull out tray, and it seems to happen when the keyboard gets to far under the actual desk. Where is the bluetooth 'antenna' or whatever it is?
Thanks!

and one more question! both the wireless mouse and the keyboard got set up fine and they connect (although the keyboard looses connections now and then), but when go to Preferences and click on Setup Bluetooth keyboard, it can't find it. Same thing happens with the mouse. Or it says that it can't find it.. when I"m actually using the wireless mouse. So it' wrong. Any idea what is going on there?
thanks again...
