Mac Function Keys - How Do They Work on a Das Keyboard Mac-Compatible Board?

For this article, keys and key combinations will be represented by bold italics, unless specifically referred to as a key.

Although 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 Apple links with certain third-party boards, some features are lost in translation, such as the Mac function keys (F1, F2, ...).

However, this is not an issue: for Mac users who prefer to configure their function keys, we have the perfect solution.
