Message #15430
This is a reply to #15425.

I've used both, now, and I personally find the LogicKeyboard layout to be superior. PowerKeys relies too heavily on the F keys (because there used to be a place to paste a big label on the older Apple keyboards). Now, the only keyboard that even fits those labels is the MacAlly, and it doesn't fit them well (the rounded lump that sticks out by the space bar requires some weird label positioning). LogicKeyboard has every key labeled with two commands (and there are additional mapped commands with other modifiers, too). The molded-in labeling is much better then the paste on labels that seem to fall off instantly. Plus, it's really efficient to have key commands marked and labeled for all the keys not on the edge. The grouping of all the automation controls in one location is also nice. I had an email from PowerKeys a long time ago that said they might be coming out with a new (molded) product, but I got tired of waiting. They don't seem that interested in further development. In contrast, LogicKeyboard is a lot more on top of things. A new key command set and a few replacement keys were available for LogicKeyboard soon after Logic version 6.0 came out. Lee Blaske
