A "Linux" keyboard that has a lot of bugs
Pros: Installation in SuSE 10 was easy
Cons: Non working Installation under SuSE 9.3, half of the extra key's don't work
Review: My opinion of this keyboard is not very good, it is selled as a Linux keyboard but the only way I made it work with all features was installing it under Windows!.
The installation rpm for SuSE 9.x doesn't work on SuSE 9.3, so I had to install it on SuSE 10.0 where the installation worked fine but then a lot of key functions didn't work.
For example the Linux key dind'nt open the menu and the Xpress keys only worked with the default options (cut,copy,paste,undo,redo), and not with the Key@man key functions.
The Navigation keys worked well, but the volume control didn't work since aumix reported no soundcard.
My advice to the developpers: it should work under linux as good as under windows if you want to sell it as Linux keybard!
