Hackintosh 84 key

[juyanith]

I just built a hackintosh mini-itx system and was planning on getting a Noppoo choc mini. Unfortunately, I've read that it is incompatible with macs unless you resort to a USB->PS/2->USB arrangement. My other choice was a Keycool 84, can anyone tell me if it has the same problem? I'm thinking it probably won't since its 6KRO not NKRO.

Of course, there is a PS/2 kext that I could try and the choc mini might work over PS/2 without the converters, but I don't know for sure. I'll still need to think it over since I understand that the keys are better on the choc mini. It's funny how this is never easy.

Hello too, Apfel Piraat…

Hmm...the HHKB is mac compatible out of the box, but its expensive.

I have both. The KeyCool 84 works fine on Mac.

But there's another option if you want to use the Noppoo: someone made an updated USB HID driver that supports the Choc Mini: https://github.com/thefloweringash/ious ... /downloads
You also need to install KeyRemap4MacBook to make the modifier keys work: http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/

Oh and as far as the keys being better on the Choc Mini goes, the KeyCool now has POM (on black models) & PBT (on white models), so there's not as much difference between the two any more.

Thanks for the info polpo. I may just go for the KeyCool but I'll shop around and see what I can find.
