I'd like to buy a 'you-beaut' USB keyboard with internet and volume control buttons but the one I am after doesn't come with a MacOS driver. I've read the lit on 'USB Overdrive' - it seems to be for game-type input devices and not keyboards and so is of no use for the keyboard. Anyone know of or had any success with connecting a keyboard from the evi empire to a USB Mac?

Well from what i have seen from usb overdrive is should allow control of any buttons on any usb devices. I would recommend that you contact the usb overdrive guy and confirm. It handled my MS sidewinder very well and even dealt with a ultra cheapy second gamepad i had

I thought the same thing. I bought the MS Natural Keyboard Pro (which is great, BTW), the MS Intellimouse Explorer (which is amazing, BTW and USB Overdrive. USBO handles the mouse buttons, but not the 19 blue buttons on the top of the keyboard. There are some people working on drivers for those buttons, and I have it bookmarked, but I am at work and the bookmark is at home. I will find it tonight and post it.
