Has anybody used the Microsoft Office Keyboard? The Microsoft web site states: Macintosh OS 8.6 or later operating system (excluding OS X or later). Unfortunately, I ordered the keyboard (this past Thursday from CDW) before reading the bit about "excluding Mac OS X". Can the keyboard be made to easily work in Mac OS X? I ordered the keyboard mainly because I only have the use of my left hand and the Office Keyboard has a scroll pad on the left side.

I betcha it would work, it's just that the Command/Apple and Option keys would be swapped. I remember finding a small kernel extension on versiontracker.com from the guy that created USB Overdrive that fixed this one problem. Also, any programmable keys & special features (likely including the scroll pad) on the keyboard would more than likely be unprogrammable under OS X until MS gets around to writing drivers. And I have no idea when that will be.
