Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac on Linux/Windows

[Petruccs]

Hi everyone,
I am wandering the difference between the Das Keyboard 4 Professional for Mac and the "normal" one.
Are the keycaps the only difference between the two keyboards?

Did anyone test it on a Linux or Windows machine?

In other words: would I get a "normal" one changing the keycaps?



Thank you for the help!

I’d guess so, yes. Might be a difference in modifier keys too. Macs have Command (which PCs see as Windows key) either side of spacebar, swapped with Alt.

Yes but changing the keyboard layout (from the system settings) should fix it, am I wrong?

If you change the layout in system settings it will work fine. I switch between a Windows and OS X environment (same device) throughout the day and I've just gotten used to the Cmd key being one key over, not too bad.

Thank you!
Actually my plan was to buy the Mac version (cheaper) changing the keycaps (blank set).
I don't think I should have any problem but I wanted to double check, these keyboards are quite expensive

The only thing you may have an issue with is the Alt and Windows keys could be switched to what they are usualy on windows .

You can re map that or just get used to it. I usualy just get to it as i swap between mac and windows all the time in work.

Thank you! I didn't think they keys might be switched...
