APPLE KEYPAD SETUP CODE
But again, since I’m a little obsessed with efficiency, it just wouldn’t do for me to have a script that starts up with Windows on every boot, eating precious CPU cycles while I wait for code to compile. The former runs as a script in the background that intercepts key presses and can make them do something else entirely, like a multi-key press macro, which makes it far more powerful. Your two choices here are AutoHotkey and SharpKeys. There are a few quirks to using an Apple keyboard on a Windows machine, of course, but nothing we can’t fix with some program downloaded off the internet. I’ve been using it for over a week now, and I’m happy to report that it’s the best feeling keyboard I’ve ever used, so I highly recommend it.
So wasn’t I pleasantly surprised to learn that Apple’s standard wired keyboard is only $50, when anything comparable from Logitech, Microsoft or SteelSeries was double the price and double the ugly.
Wireless tech is cool and all, but until it’s been better refined I’ll stick to untangling my rat’s nest of cables once a year, thanks. And forget this wireless nonsense of pairing devices and changing batteries all the time. I feel like I’m wasting so much energy when I’m pushing an old clunky mechanical key down into the Earth’s mantle just to get one lousy letter out of it. I’m all about efficiency, so I’ve come to love laptop-style chiclet keys than only need to be depressed a few millimeters. No crazy rainbow LED backlighting, no built-in LCD that tells you the weather and suggests going outside for some exercise, no customizable command macros, just a simple keyboard I can write code and game with. Sorted by importance, they go a little like this: My requirements in a keyboard are simple enough, really. But when I started looking for a nice keyboard to go with my new desktop build, I quickly realized that my desires aligned quite nicely with those of our late pomaceous demigod, The Almighty Steve. Now personally, I’m not exactly a big Apple fan, especially since some of their hardware tends to be a little overpriced.
