Offtopic, but any chance that the mapping of command/option is one of
the "quirks"?

Being able to have alt and win be where my muscle memory thinks they
are, without having to switch manually when switching keyboards (I've
got a PC laptop that I plug this keyboard into), would be awesome.

Unfortunately, there's not much to be done about the fn key, without
hacking the firmware...

Bug description:
I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Beta) when I first boot up the alphabet keys work perfectly, but once I type in the numpad or a number, nothing happens.  After nothing happens I'm not able to use my alpha keys, either..  When I type alphabet keys after trying a number the alphabet keys produce numbers like '4' and '3'..  And many of the keys don't do anything..


I have tried setting the keyboard up as default, and as an Apple keyboard by going to System > Prefs > Keyboard -- but nothing works.

If i then unplug the keyboard to reboot the keys usually work fine until I hit a number key or the keypad again.
