Initial Mac Setup Issues

(Please read this full review as my initial issues are resolved.) I bought this to use on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo laptop and when I plugged it in, a new a keyboard dialog appeared, prompting me to press the key immediately to the left of the right Shift key. Well since there are no Shift keys on this keyboard I disabled the setting. After that, I was able to use the keyboard, but every time I pressed a number key, there was a split-second pause, then the number appeared on my screen, but this was accompanied by a loud "bing" noise that occurs when an illegal command is entered on a Mac. Since then I've been looking for a way to properly use this keyboard on my Mac, but to no avail. ------ -- After writing the above, I decided to give the keyboard one last try on my MacBook Pro and it now works with no hesitation or unacceptable command noise. Why didn't it work like this right out of the box? Where I originally intended to give the keyboard 2 stars, I am now giving it 4 stars as it now works as expected.

Pros

Cons
