    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?

    Keyboard (minus function keys) stops working until restart on M1 Pro MBP 14" (2021)

    My keyboard will randomly stop working until I restart my computer by holding down the power/TouchID button. I don't seem to have any weird modifier keys, and I haven't been able to figure out a solution yet. I deleted the keyboard preference files, but that didn't help. I've turned Bluetooth...

    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.

    Mac Mini M2 Pro Monitor

    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)...

    Mini M2 won't recognise my numeric keyboard (cabled).

    My new Mac Mini won't work with my numeric keyboard. The numeric part, that is. Annoying and weird. Mac's seem to become un-user friendly. And don't ask me about Logitech!!!
