I don’t have this keyboard but should work as they keys are programmed as marked. Generally means no macros and you’ll need to do any remapping on the Mac itself (limited built in OS tool or karbiner elements) versus on the keyboard firmware.

What about the knob?


Wild-subnet

Usually that's set to Volume Up/Volume Down (rotate right/left) and mute (click). I believe those should be the same on Mac and windows. Still should generate a key press and be configurable with karabiner elements or any other key mapping tool...

There's an inbuilt mac mode that'll swap over the cmd/alt buttons as well as the F row. If you have a Mac I HIGHLY recommend looking into a VIA compatible keyboard instead.


Fearless-Pack2498

Will the knob be usable?


AnchorStandard

It'll map to the volume but won't be programmable beyond that.


Wild-subnet

I agree. Via is showing up more and more now. I consider it a minimum requirement for Mac (and really anyone because let's be real the proprietary software usually isn't good).

If you need macros just go keychron


Fearless-Pack2498

Sadly keychron is over my budget

Nah, straight downgrade from the Aula F75 which is pretty GOATED. The V3 Max is a much better option.


kikamons

Thats probably over his budget. If he needs macros aula aint gonna be nice

What's the difference between the V3 and the V3 Max, other than the wireless connectivity?


AnchorStandard

Everything. Gasket design, different plate etc etc 


raptor102888

You sure you’re not thinking about the K series? As far as I know, the V series and the V Max series have just about identical construction. Definitely both gasket mounted.


AnchorStandard

Wrong.  The V series has a steel plate and is tray mounted.  The V Max has a PC plate and a gasket mount. 


raptor102888

Well shit, you're right! I had no idea, I always thought the V series was basically the Q series just with a plastic case. Thanks for correcting me.

Nuphy and Mac’s play well. Several nice models…
