For this article, keys and key combinations will be represented by bold italics , unless specifically referred to as a key.
Although the Das Keyboard Mac boards such as the Model S For Mac or the Professional For Mac are Mac-compatible, they may function a bit differently than a native Apple keyboard. Due to the way that Apple links with certain 3rd-party boards, some features are lost in translation--such as the Mac Function Keys (F1,F2,...).
However, this is no issue; and for Mac users that prefer to configure their function keys we have the perfect solution.
