Types of Keyboards

Hi,
I am fascinated (by or of?) apple wireless keyboards.
So I bought the version (of or with?) my mother tongue: german (MB167D/A)
After that, I was so fascinated about the high quality item that I decided to buy the english (US) version too. Got this one second hand via eBay, but was rather disappointed about the condition: scratches and bumps all over.
Just bought another keyoboard off eBay (still sealed), which is called: MC184LL/A
Since I found different model numbers for apple wireless keyboards (i.e. MB167LL/A or MC184Z/A or MC184LL/A), I wonder now what the differences are. Figured that there are at least two english versions existing (US and British), but what are the coresponding model numbers?
The apple website doesn't seem to tell.
Anyone knows more?

If there isn't, the Y-mouse adapter allows you to hook up the PS/2 Belgium Azerty keyboard you can find at Amazon with the ASIN of B003KUVBMS. Here's the Y Mouse adapter: http://piengineering.com/ymouse.php Note, you'll want to use the built-in keyboard for startup sequence keystrokes, as not all non-Apple keyboards support them.

Trouble setting up type of keyboard after migration

Hi everyone,
I just migrated all my hard disk from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro. Now, I used to have a US keyboard, and now I have a Spanish ISO keyboard. But it seems to have kept the US keyboard setup, so that when I hit certain keys, I get some other sign on the page.
I went to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse, but there isn't any option for selecting another type of keyboard, though the Help says there should be.
Any idea what to do? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Bonnie,
Open up System Preferences-> International and scroll down near the bottom and check "Spanish ISO". Check the box a the bottom that says "Show input menu in menu bar" Close International preferences. Now next to the clock, change the flag from US to Spanish.

Ultra 2 creator 3d with type 6 keyboard

Hi there,
I have an old ultra 2 I want to install on with a type 6 keyboard. It seem to recognize the keyboard however when I try to hit stop to get into open boot it just continues on its merry way and tries to net boot, of course this fails...
How do I get it to let me into open boot? Do I need an older type 5 keyboard?
Thanks

Hello Ken,
the type 6 keyboard should work with the Ultra 2.
Did you press STOP and the A key simultaneously ?
When you review the banner, is the keyboard detected ?
Check if any of the keyboard plug pins are bent.
Did this (and haroldb's simultaneous response) answer your question ?

SUN ULTRA 5 type 5 keyboard and mouse

Hi.
I have some questions about old SUN TYPE 5 keyboard and mouse.
I have got an very old ULTRA 5 machine just for little "playing" with just such type of keyboard and mouse ( SUN type 5).
I am wondering , if this input devices will fail, is it possible to get some other compatible type of keyboard and mouse for it ???
I am not SUN specialist , so I dont know - is it also possible to use also SUN type 6 keyboard / mouse with my ULTRA 5 workstation??? The connector type seems similar like a PS/2 , but I think there is no way to use standard PC PS/2 keyboard/mouse with it , or is it ??? Whats the best solution , where to get ULTRA 5 compatible keyboard/mouse ? Thank you veyr much for your answer.

Hello,
a Type 5 keyboard (lacks the power-on key) and mouse might work. The preferred types are Type 5c or Type 6.
Most OHCI compatible USB cards work (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/products/hardware.html), but the USB keyboard and mouse aren't usable until the operating system (and USB driver) have been loaded (you have to configure keyboard and mouse manually).
I would recommend that you get a Sun Type 5c or Type 6 keyboard/mouse from second hand e.g. eBay. They are not that expensive anymore.
Another choice is to use the Ultra 5 via the serial console (text mode) and then use a X-Server to access the system (after installation of Solaris) via the network.

Sun Type 7 keyboard hangs on Ultra 24

Hello,
recently I hooked up a new Sun Ultra 24 system running Solaris 10/08.
An original Sun Type 7 keyboard including Sun mouse is connected to the computer.
Every once a while the keyboard gets disconnected so I have to replug the USB. As far as I am concerned no log entry is produced.
Has somebody an idea how to exclude a hardware issue? If the keyboard is connected to an iMac I noticed no problems.
Many thanks in advance!

i am also having that same problem, the keyboard ends in -03. i've gone back and forth with sun, no resolution. i'm getting sun to bring a FE onsite so they can have fun with it. i have used update 5, 6 and 7. still nothing, i can use an install disk and go to command line but that's it. sun has yet to inform me that's a problem with this keyboard type on ultra 24.
i'll send any updates

Ultra 40 + Type 7 Keyboard & Windows XP?

Hi, I have recently purchased Ultra 40 Workstation w/ Type 7 Keyboard and Mouse.
Since I do see that Windows XP x64 is certified os for Ultra 40 Workstation and Type 7 keyboard comes in both Unix and Windows style, I have not yet been able to use extra keys on Windows XP.
Is there any driver that make extra keys of Type 7 keyboard usable in Windows XP?
I understand that Sun is Solaris company, but since Ultra 40 supports windows XP, I think it won't hurt to ask. :)
Thanks.
Sang

The Unix style and the US/Windows style keyboard layouts have nothing to do
with the extra Sun keys on the left of their keyboards.
The different styles have different placements for a few of the 'normal' keys,
such as: ESC, CapsLock, Backspace, left-CTRL, and a very few others.
The layouts would be of interest to a touch-typist, perhaps, more than to anyone else.
Solaris uses the special Sun keys.
Windows never uses those keys.
(... and I really, really miss ths cut/copy/paste keys when I'm using an OS other than Solaris-on-Sun)
Glance at the layouts from the first two links at this 3rd party web site.

Type 7 keyboard

I have a new Ultra 40 with a type 7 keyboard, running Redhat Linux Enterprise 4. I would like to map the "sun" keys to function just like they did on Solaris (copy, paste, front, etc.)
Any ideas on how to do this?

Just curious... I have the same exaact issue. Were you ever able to get it resolved? Sun Ultra-40, running RHEL4. I am stumped.
Thanks in advance!

How to configure a Sun Type 7 Keyboard (Solaris 10 11/06)

Hi.
I bought a Sun Type 7 (UNIX) keyboard. I plugged it in and configured Xorg's kbd driver to use this kind of keyboard. The problem is that some keys, such as the 3 volume keys, the sleep key, the composite key, doesn't appear to work. In the official documentation there's no other installation hint but "to plug it in".
Has anyone any experience configuring this keyboard?
Thanks again,
Enrico.

hello.
Just do this:
eeprom kbd-type=Frenchafter reboot.Hello,
"eeprom" is fine on a SPARC box, but how do I do this on a x86 box ?
TIA.

Ultra 5 - Type 6 Keyboard

I don't really know if I'm in the right place here, but I'm trying to install Ubuntu Linux on an old Ultra 5, but I'm having some difficulties with the keyboard. I have a type 6 (I'm assuming, in a standard U.S. English Layout) and Ubuntu only lists Type 4 and 5. I'm just hoping to find the next closest match. As I said, I've tried both as U.S. Standard English, neither seemed to work, the keys were all mapped wrong. Any help is appreciated, and pictures have been included below, hopefully that helps. Thanks.

Type tool keyboard shortcut problem

In InDesign CC, I am using the T key on my keyboard to switch to the Type Tool. Occasionally (not always) it will switch back to the previous tool, meaning if I had the selection tool selected before, and I use T to switch to the Type Tool, it switches back to the selection tool a moment later. It's infuriating!
Things I've noticed:
I can have more than one document open, and the issue may arise in only one/some of the documents - not all
Selecting the Type Tool from the tools window bypasses the issue (therefore, seems to be only the keyboard shortcut)
Have not seen this error reproduced for ANY other tool.
Double-clicking a text box still works to automatically edit the text
Closing the program and reopening usually fixes it, but occasionally doesn't
I'm trying to figure out if anybody else has noticed this issue. I can't seem to find anything addressing this problem. Is there a solution??
InDesign CC 2014.1 / 10.1.0.70 x64 Build / Windows 7 Enterprise

I've been having the same problem, and it's really frustrating. I have replaced my preferences twice with no luck. Do you know of any other possible fixes? I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Thanks in advance!

Cannot type / use keyboard properly - keyboard bugs!

Please help! I cannot type in the password to unlock my bb.. they keyboard is not typing the correct letter(s) when pressed. I was prompted to type 'blackberry" to continue. and am unable to get the "k" to show up on screen when pressed. I have NO idea HOW to get passed this issue. I have been unable to dowload the software onto my computer. Is it possible to reset the phone?? PLEASE HELP!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Sometimes, rebooting your device (battery pull method) can result in the keyboard acting correctly.
Sometimes, if you connect to your PC and are prompted there for the password, you can then type it on the PC keyboard and unlock the device (as well as reset the incorrect password counter).
You of course must do all of this before you exhaust the maximum allowed attempts. If you fail the maximum times, your BB will wipe itself clean of all user data, apps, etc. and be "like new" again. Of course, if you have a hardware problem with the keyboard, such a result won't help that particular problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Unable to type from keyboard consistently in FF when certain sites are open (Lotus Domino Web Access)

When I use FireFox to Open Lotus Domino Web Access after a few minute the browser will not allow me type consistently. This happened before around version 13 or 14 but went away. The mouse works perfectly except when clicking on window to open new tab.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled current version 16.0.2
I have uninstalled, reinstalled earlier version 14
I have started in Safe Mode
I have disabled all add-ins except for "Remote XUL Manager" which is necessary for Lotus Domino Web Access.
I force closed using Task Manger and restart and it will work for a few minutes then start the same issue. I can not type "letter by letter" , if I hold a "letter" key down it will repeat the letter albeit at a slower pace.
Unfortunately I installed Windows 8 which has IE10 (which cannot access Web Mail at all) so I have resorted to typing in a word document and pasting into emails within Lotus just to function.

discovered that this was happening with several third party applications using third party keyboard layouts. You may want to follow that thread and see where it goes.
