Wireless keyboard "same" as wired keyboard shipping with G5?

We're about to buy a G5 and are considering the wireless keyboard and mouse. But we'll be swapping out the keys with a kit to create a Final Cut Pro keyboard.
<http://www.logickeyboard.com/shop/default.asp?SetLng=2&BypassShopClosed=1>
Two questions:
The Logic Keyboard people warn that their keys will properly swap with Apple G5 keyboards made in Malaysia -- NOT those made in China. So, where is the wireless keyboard you get when you buy a G5 made?
And, for that matter, is the wireless keyboard otherwise EXACTLY the same as the wired keyboard -- except that it's wireless? If not, what is different?
Thanks,
Brad

Hello Brad:
I think you will get a definitive answer to your question by calling (or E-mailing) the Apple store.

  • Wired keyboard with wireless mouse

    I just got a new iMac with wireless keyboard and mouse. I hate the new compact keyboard. If I buy a plugged in keyboard would I be able to use my wireless mouse?
    Sure lost a lot of capability with this "baby" keyboard.

    Yes, you can use your wireless Mighty Mouse with a wired keyboard.

  • Wireless mouse with a wired keyboard

    I have the original iMac G5 running OS10.4. Originally the computer had both the wireless mouse and keyboard. When the keyboard died after 2 years I switched to a wired keyboard. Upon booting the machine constantly wants to search for the keyboard (the mouse is recognized just fine) until I unplug the wired keyboard and re-plug it in at which point the computer displays a window saying that a keyboard has been recognized. The wired keyboard isn't functional until I have gone through this work around. How do I make it stop searching (ever) for a wireless keyboard but still be able to use the wireless mouse?
    BTW the mouse is the only bluetooth devices listed in the bluetooth preferences.
    Thanks in advance!
    Paul

    Don't know if this will help your particular situation, but in my case it did with my bluetooth connection to my mighty mouse.
    Remove the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preference folder (Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist). When you removed that file to the trash, erase the trash file, shutdown the computer and then start it again, it immediately recognized the mouse and asked to confirm the pairing.

  • What wired keyboard with trackpad do you recommend?

    My wife would like to put her MB Pro on a stand and attach a wired keyboard with built-in trackpad. She wants WIRED, not wireless. Has anyone used a non-Apple keyboard like this that they recommend? I am thinking the key arrangement might be tricky.

    There are no keyboards on the market that have built-in trackpads with the capabilities of the MBP's built-in trackpad.
    Why does your wife want a wired keyboard? Has she ever used an Apple wireless one?
    I recomend the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad without reservation or qualification. I've been using mine for a year now with my late-2008 unibody MBP, and haven't had a bit of trouble with them at any time. The Magic Trackpad works exactly the same as the built-in trackpad, so that when I pick up my machine to use away from my office, I don't have any adjustment to make. And the wireless keyboard has exactly the same feel as the MBP's, so there's no adjustment to make there either.
    Your wife should really try these things out.

  • Apple wired keyboard - certain keys not working with shift

    I treated myself to a new Apple wired keyboard MB110B/A for my mac mini.
    My previous keyboard worked fine, however the new keyboard causes the computer to enter the Hardware Test mode every time the computer is restarted. The computer only starts normally without the keyboard connected (or with my old keyboard connected).
    Once the computer has started, if I plug the new keyboard in, it appears to work normally with the following exceptions. The following keys do not register when the "shift" key is pressed: 2, w, s, x. This fault does not occur with my old keyboard.
    As these keys are in a line, I think there may be a wiring fault inside the keyboard. If so, would this explain the computer entering Hardware Test mode every time it is started with the keyboard connected?
    Thanks in advance.

    Definitely sounds like a hardware fault in the keyboard to me. I assume it's the same whichever USB port it's connected to? (and if you plug it into another Mac, too)?
    Of course, as that keyboard is glued together in final assembly, it's completely unrepairable.
    If it's a reproducible fault (and new anyway): take/send it back for replacement. You shouldn't have any trouble with Apple arguing.

  • Using new wired keyboard (w/o numeric keypad) with Windows Vista

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro and a Windows PC. They share the same monitor, keyboard and mouse via a KVM switch (I use the Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM Switch, model F1DG102D). My keyboard is the Apple wired keyboard with numeric keypad, which works fine with my Windows Vista PC, even with no Apple-specific Windows driver installed. My keyboard tray is pretty small, so I would like to get the new Apple wired keyboard which doesn't have a numeric keypad. I don't need the numeric keypad anyway. However, I will miss the home, end, page up, page down, and forward delete buttons. The Mac Pro has a way of simulating these keys. However, the key combinations to simulate these keys don't work in Windows Vista. My question is: how do I simulate these keys from Windows Vista? My guess is that possible options are:
    1. Use some Vista keyboard mapping software. If so, any idea what might work?
    OR
    2. Use Apple's keyboard driver for Windows Vista (32-bit). The keyboard comes with boot camp, but I don't use boot camp (since I have a separate Windows PC). How do I go about getting a standalone Apple keyboard driver without having to install boot camp?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi randman.
    I have a similar problem but it seems there is no solution. The new wired keyboard is not event working properly with BOOTCAMP. Vista doesn't recognize the keyboard as Apple keyboard and even forcing the device manager to use the Apple keyboard driver is not working.

  • Urgent help - T430s shipped with non-workin​g keyboard

    Had a delivery of a T430s today and the keyboard is not functioning. I have to tap several keys such as the enter key many times before it recognises the press. Other key effected are space, A and Delete.
    I will telephone Technical Support, any idea on what to say so I have no problems in talking with them?

    You did not specify what kind of warranty you have, so I'm assuming you have a depot (ship it back to Lenovo) warranty and want to deal with the issue faster, since if you had on-site it would not be an issue. The keyboard is a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit). Before I upgraded the warranty on my T400 to on-site, I had a keyboard issue. Since the keyboard was a FRU, Lenovo shipped the keyboard directly to me. I then installed the replacement keyboard on the machine. 
    I know warranties are different depending on what country you are in, so it might be different for you. However, I would try to convince them to send you the keyboard so that you can replace it yourself. You may need to ask them, to ship it to you. Before you ask to replace it yourself, go to this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=​UM014541 and download the HMM (Hardware Maintenance Manual) for the T430. Read the part about replacing a keyboard and make sure you are comfortable with the procedure. It is also possible that simply reseating the keyboard connector on your current machine may fix the issue.
    Until the part arrives, you should be able to use an external keyboard.
    When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

  • Wired keyboard with/without extension cable?

    One realizes that these days the sleek new Apple corded USB keyboards - those with nummeric block - in the unit sale (not as a component of iMac shipment)
    are fitted with additional USB cable. It seams to be some sort of extension cable for convenient connection of other USB device.
    However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was
    not delivered with such additional cable. Nor the user manual for keyboard was attached. Instead of this
    the Magic Trackpad ordered with that iMac got two hard copies of user manual.
    Regarding the additional usb cable attached to corded usb keyboard is this a change conducted by Apple
    between February 2014 and these days, or rather an error in shipment those days?

    However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was not delivered with such additional cable.
    Check that keyboard to see if it has a USB port on either side. Mine (ordered with a 2011 iMac) has one on each end.  If it doesn't then there's no need for an additional USB cable. I don't remember if it included a USB cable.
    According to this Apple product page, Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA), separately ordered wired keyboards with keypads come with two USB ports and an USB extension cable. However, when ordered with a iMac   Call an Apple store or Apple at phone number at the bottom of this page and ask if it should have.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with ALT codes on Apple Wired Keyboard

    May I just note, I have posted this in the "Boot Camp" forum, but run the normal Windows 7 on my computer. I was unable to find a forum purely for Apple hardware.
    I am using a Apple Wired Keyboard (MB110B/B) -- British-bought -- on a Windows 7 PC, and I are having some issues with ALT codes. The array of symbols I have to type (pi, sigma, etc) becomes tiresome to insert via the Character Map (on Win7). Basically, entering "alt" (left handside) then 227 does not insert "π" but rather "Ò". alt + 228 (Σ) inserts õ
    I don't know if this problem is common for Apple keyboard users on Windows, but is there a way to alter this.
    Thanks, Jordan.

    For a third opinion, be cautious of using a dishwasher as the temperature can get pretty high. If the spill is on the 456 on the number pad, you can try holding the keyboard vertically, soak just that part in distilled water for several minutes to disolve the spill material. Run some denatured (rubbing) alcohol over the numpad, then dry with a hair dryer.
    You could also try to remove the key caps...slip dental floss under the key caps in two loops, one from the top one from the bottom. Pull the key caps off one at a time, the wipe the area clean...see if there is any material sticking that needs to be cleaned off.
    I do not know what keyboard you have or how it does the switching, but most keyboards today do not use mechanical switches. The switches are sealed capacitance switches so if you clean all the material from the keyboard it may work again.
    Or, if you don't feel like going to this much trouble, a visit to your friendly Apple Retailer to purchase a new one may be a good idea.

  • Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit
    3g 64gb verizon

    People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message.  (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.)  Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub.  At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
    And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad.  So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple.  So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use.  If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try.  But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

  • Rapoo Wireless keyboard E-6300 won't pair with iPhone 3GS

    Any ideas?

    my iphone 4 been paired with both a sandberg mini bluetooth keyboard and an imac keyboard key <pun>
    is that I have to make sure it only paired with 1 device at the time or it will not work
    but since it can pair with the appletv then I guess it's not that
