    Making Swiss MacBook Air think it's British at a hardware level

    OK, bear with me on this one... I bought a 2018 (Intel) MacBook Air with a Swiss QWERTZ keyboard layout (it was a bargain) Swapped the physical keycaps around to make it British layout (and replaced the missing ones with spares) Changed the layout to British in macOS and everything's hunky...

    Allow full access keyboard question

    Hi all, Does anyone know if “anything you type…” includes the standard built in keyboard? If there was a comma after typed I would understand it to be contained to only the gif tenor keyboard, but in its absence it’s a little ambiguous. Thanks.

    When is Apple going to fix the glaring inconsistency of the fn key?

    Apple has a reputation for attention to detail, but I have no idea how this travesty made it through the design process unchanged. All of the other modifier keys (control, option, command) have the key's name at the bottom, and the icon on the top right. However, when the fn key was given the...

I have a 4K display and power delivery that goes into an Anker USB-C hub. This hub then plugs into one of four...

    Pinning/fixing the order of the languages (input sources / keyboard layouts) on macOS.

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's a way to control the order of languages used on my Mac. The Problem: As you can see in the screenshot, I regularly use four languages: English (EN), Turkish (TR), Russian (RU), and Turkmen (TM). Unfortunately, the order of these languages keeps changing...

    All iPads iPad Air M2 13 vs Pro M4 Keyboard

    The new Pro gets the additional function keys but the Air does not, all the while, they cost the same. What am I missing or is Apple just charging a premium. Will a new Pro keyboard work on a 13" Air?

    Hi, I have been thinking of buying a refurbished macbook with a US keyboard layout, but would prefer to have a french layout. Is it possible to swap the keys, and if thats possible how expensive would that be? Are there any other differences between a mac bought in the US and in Europe?

    My keyboard will randomly stop working until I restart my computer by holding down the power/TouchID button.

    How does the MBP M3 16" keyboard feel?

    I'm on an M1 Pro 16" and the keyboard isn't my favourite due to the 'hollow' typing experience. Compared to say an M1 or M2 MBA, those feel more solid and don't have that cheap plastic clickety-clack sound. Considering an upgrade, just curious what your keyboard experience is like.

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 3.1 Overclocking. Keyboard problem

    I see that most of overclockers here prefer to buy Xeon 3.2 GHz(for FSB = 400GHz) and 400GHz memory. Not a good choice because the entire overclocking process will be limited by memory frequency limit. That is why most of results are in the range 3.4-3.5GHz. I bought two Xeon X5460(3.16)...
