Dear all,
My 3-year old Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro will not wake up my iMac or Mac Pro. I have contacted the retailer (Keyboardco) but was told only very rarely does these boards go wrong.
I've checked the settings, so far as possible, on the Macs, all is fine.
There are no dip switches that I can see on the 104UG.
Otherwise the KB is working 100%
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
so your iMac or Mac Pro wake up correctly with other keyboards but not with your Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro, right?
And the Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro is otherwise 100% OK? (Typing, modifier keys...)
That's strange. I can't see any special wake-up key/button on this KB. So do you use a specific shortcut or just any key to wake up your Macs?
If you could access a computer running Linux, running 'xev' program might possibly diagnose what's different with your Topre Realforce 104UG HiPro compared to other keyboards.
For example the xev output for pressing 'Win R' on my TKL Cherry is like this:

I'm guessing Mac problem rather than keyboard problem. Is it running Big Sur?
My M1 MacBook Air can be fiddly to wake up in clamshell mode, from another keyboard. Big Sur seems quite flaky at wake, compared to the simple reliability of MacOS yore. To wake a sleeping Mac from a keyboard, all you need to do is press any key. That seems a bit broken now, on my hybrid laptop in clamshell at a desk setting at any rate.
My workaround is to wake the Mac by clicking the mouse. Often takes a few clicks to respond. Nothing like as fast as waking by its built in trackpad or keyboard, which are commendably quick.
