I just bought a window’s keyboard yesterday because my mac keyboard is broken and this video really helps,Thank You!

[@balazsjb]

The single most useful video for a nerd like me who switches from Windows to Mac after some 30+ years of using Win from version 3.1. THANK YOU!

[@meethepoet]

Thanks so much for this! Short, straight to the point, and made sense. I just purchased this Razer Huntsman and have been dying trying to understand how to just copy and paste with shortcuts so Thank you thank you thank you. (And yes, the keyboard is hella clicky) Now if I could just figure out these darn function keys.

[@ashadrizvi4608]

thank you so much. I got a corsair k70 se and had no idea how to use the command key. Tried for about 30 minutes and this solved my problem asap.

[@merveakinci9102]

Just got my G715 and was looking around on it's application to find a way to solve this issue. This. video helped greatly, still after 6 years you uploaded. Thank you!

[@xchickster]

If i can give this video a thousand likes, i still don't think it would translate my utmost thanks. I LOVE YOU!!!!

[@thatguycallmevortex2711]

Well I’m a windows user + youtuber and I was thinking about getting a Mac mini. So I think I’ll just make my keyboard more like a windows keyboard.Such as Command=Ctrl Control=Win key and Option=Alt

[@ellen4331]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was very confused on why my new keyboard did not have a command key. Now, with this video, everything worked out fine. THANK YOU

[@fanzo_official]

6 Years later and this helped me. Love you dude 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@valeriemf1461]

to access my disk recovery I only had my Windows keyboard. What happiness thanks to you

[@jermartiongco8619]

Still works after four years. What a Legend. Thank you!

[@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist]

This video was exactly what I needed. I found a pretty nice Acer Predator keyboard at Goodwill for $8. I love the feel and it's a bonus that the keys light up!

[@deepakmalik2717]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I bought a cynosa v2 and had no idea how to use it with a mac, however you helped me a ton.

[@nidhiraz501]

I liked it, I flipped ctrl key to command.. works just like windows which I always do !!!!

[@lordknighton]

This is my default new mac to keyboard setup, thanks Pete.

[@KhanhNguyen-jc4bw]

First time buying a windows keyboard for a Mac thank you so much

[@darkanastand]

You are a godsend for people who have windows key on their keyboard. Thanks very much

[@uniquepowerwash6098]

You save my life my friend!!!!! With this short informational video thank you so much!!!!

[@AlextheLue]

Thank you! All I was trying to do was assign the "fn" key as the Command key. I'm so used to a Windows keyboard and I wanted the ctrl function to be in the same spot on the Apple board. The modifier keys section was a lifesaver!

[@himanshupatidar8076]

I can't thank you enough. I was using a dell wireless keyboard with a MacBook pro powered monitor. Now I can finally do "command C" and "command V" and "command B" for breaks when I do editing! Awesome video, you saved me from so much frustration and extra money!

Glad it still works! Apple tends to keep basic things like this functioning for a loooong time. (The Sticky Notes app's default notes are from 2001!!)

Does anyone know a way where I can use the setting to change the lights on my keyboard pls

[@Exoblix]

Well if it’s an rgb keyboard, their are settings but sometimes their is a website or something to edit the keyboard, so you can’t just adjust the keyboard in the MacBooks settings or something
