The F1DS104U

If so, are you having problems using it with the Apple Pro Keyboard?

Basically, after about 5 seconds of holding a Key down, the key is "released" (even though I am still holding it down)

Very annoying, especially since I use key modifiers A LOT.
I use the KVM also with windows machines, and the same thing occurs, with the added bonus of the Alt key getting stuck whenever i use it (which in windows is a lot).

That and F12 doesn't eject my Superdrive (since the extended keys "aren't supported" Eject.menu shows the F12 key as the eject... but that doesn't work)

So is anyone else experiencing this? I upgraded to their latest available firmware, that doesn't fix it (which sets the Left control as the "hot switch" also... stupid crap, what were they thinking?!)

I'm thinking about trying a Non-apple USB keyboard (logitech elite if anyones tried it, lemme know)

Interesting thing is if i plug the keyboard into the "regular" usb ports, all these problems stop, AND i get back extended key functions. BUT i can't switch PCs (not even from the kvm itself)

*sigh* I emailed their support group about a week ago, and never heard anything back.
