## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this keyboard work with mac?**
A: I like the way this keyboard looks, but I'm still reluctant to buy it.
I can't seem to be able to ask a question (the maximum characters limit for a question is ridiculously small, you can't properly ask the question). I see an answer saying it works on Macs, so I'm asking here... Because that answer doesn't mention 2 important things (without those 2 things, it's really not usable on Macs... otherwise we can say that all Windows keyboards in the world are compatible with Macs)
So... "working" with Macs means two things:
1. Find keycaps labeled for Macs (Command, Option, Control, F keys with the proper icons)
2. Be able to customise the keys location. For example, on the left of the space bar, the first key should be the "Command" key. Then, to the left of the "Command" key we must have the "Option" key. And then, to the left of the "Option" key we should have the "Control" key. And then, mirror those on the right of the space bar (plus the "fn" key).

@Nymix Could you tell us where you've manage to find Mac labeled keycaps? And if the keys order/position is as mentioned above? (as it should be on Macs)
Thanks!

**Q: Are the switches 3 pin?**
A: Yes

**Q: I found that Drop updated the design especially the magnetic raiser/feet.  Is this the latest version what Amazon is selling?**
A: My CTRL, ordered end of December '19, does have the updated feel. They are definitely stronger than the older versions.

**Q: Hi, is the outside of the packaging box printed Massdrop or Drop?**
A: Yes, all keyboards are Drop branded.
