<h3></h3>
|
|
<p>I recently got Logitech MX Keys for Mac keyboard at work.
|
|
The German version, to be more precise.
|
|
This version was three times cheaper than the Windows equivalent with either US or ES layout.
|
|
Since I touch type anyway, I thought it was a bargain.</p>
|
|
<p>As soon as I plugged it in, I realized there were some glaring issues with the keyboard.
|
|
First of all, the Meta/Super and Alt keys are reversed in this keyboard.
|
|
In the normal/full version of this keyboard, Logitech gives an option to choose between Mac, Windows and iOS host, and that changes the behavior of the keys.
|
|
In this version, tho, only iOS and Mac are available.</p>
|
|
<p>Besides that, there’s the issue of the grave (tilde) and angle keys switched as well.</p>
|
|
<p>Switching these keys around would be very easy with Xorg, but Wayland once again complicates things…</p>
|
|
<p>These issues almost made me return the keyboard.
|
|
Luckily, tho, there is another option: configuring the keys one level lower than wayland (and X11), through hwdb.</p>
|
|
<p>Long story short, this will configure any Logitech keyboard with the same product id (0x4092) to use a saner configuration:</p>
