I find that the newer style silver & white Apple USB keyboard looks great with the old silver and white G5 iMac. Found a used one at a thrift shop, but a lot of the media keys and other functions don't work. Wondering if anyone has had success getting the special function, volume, and media keys to work using a plist modification, or installing software, or by copying over a file from a newer OS version. Currently using Leopard on it. Thanks in advance!
