Dual Layout
Unique dual-printed keys make the K780 Multi-Device compatible across different operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X, iOS, Windows, Chrome, Android). Key label colors and split lines identify functions or symbols reserved for different operating systems.
Key Label Color
Grey labels indicate functions available on Apple devices running macOS or iOS. White labels on grey circles identify symbols reserved for use with Alt GR on Windows computers.
Example (Mac OS X or iOS): A 'Z' key with a grey label signifies its function on Apple devices.
Example (Windows): An 'M' key with a white label on a grey circle signifies its function with Alt GR on Windows computers.
Split Keys
Modifier keys on either side of the space bar display two sets of labels separated by split lines. The label above the split line shows the modifier sent to a Windows or Android device. The label below the split line shows the modifier sent to an Apple computer, iPhone, or iPad. The keyboard automatically uses modifiers associated with the currently selected device.
Example: Modifier keys display labels like '[alt]' and '[alt gr]' separated by a split line, indicating their function for Windows/Android (top) and Mac OS X/iOS (bottom).
