Does this keyboard map automatically into Logic Pro X? Is using it simple and straightforward?

The midi will work upon connection of USB If you want to use the knobs, buttons, etc (highly recommended start stop, record from the keyboard) with logic X though you need to install direct link from the M Audio download page and then install in Logic via preferences/controller surfaces/setup. If the knobs still don't work go into package content (right click logic prog.) and insert the two axiom bundles into the midi device plug in folder (Mac), or check the forums to get it running. Mine works great now with the bundles in the right place. (This step needs to be done with each new update. Takes minutes. Great keyboard

Hello Paul. I was requested to provide you with an answer; however, actually I haven't yet used the software. Also, I do not input music using keyboards, but rather directly through the sequencer "step mode". Apologies for not being able to help, but I had to at least respond to the request. Good luck anyway.

Yes. Use the Fn key in combo with the arrow keys. &lt;Fn + Left&gt; = Home &lt;Fn + Right&gt; = End &lt;Fn + Up&gt; = Page Up &lt;Fn + Down&gt; = Page Down ...good question. I more-or-less stumbled across that lol (actually, I think it's pretty standard for smaller laptops with keyboards sans those keys, but I'd long ago forgotten).

yes you can pretty much bind all keys to anything you want and save it to a profile if you want. The software roccat software is pretty awesome with plenty of options. They make it very easy to change things how ever you like. I even made my T2 key an extra esc key. I definitely recommend this board dude not because of all the lights and flashy things but bc its simply a great keyboard.

Yes it is! I use mine with Logic Pro. It may not automatically map to all DAWs. But it can be mapped manually to any of them! Just make sure you download the latest firmware to your computer. Remember, it's a basic midi controller! So it should work with any music software. Hope that helps you out!

The keyboard and mouse work pretty much like standard ones do, so no. However, you can easily use a free scripting program like AutoHotkey to do this for you by way of a keybind, it will then work regardless of your input method. EDIT It seems like the other answer may work as well, although I have never tried it myself.

Not as far a I know in standard usage. I imagine if you have a program like AutoHotKey installed you could map something to an F key. It does have a Function key but it is for switching to lesser used characters. You can use things like chrome shortcuts instead like ctrl T or Ctrl shift T

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

Yes, it does. With no issues. The Escape key works as the Back key and there are some other equivalences.

I'm not sure as I don't use those "non function" keys. Keep in mind, to use the traditional function key you have to hold the activate function key at the bottom left corner. If you don't, you can be in the middle of a game, for example, and suddenly activate a media player. It's mapped in reverse to the traditional keyboard. I'll try to test it tonight.

No - it's very clicky in each of the four directions, and slightly sticky. I've found that even just using it as arrow keys is difficult, w.r.t. getting precise motion.

Yes it does, though the command and option keys are switched from their original positions on a mac keyboard.

It has an Fn key. When you connect it to mac, it asks you to enter the keys next to left and right shift keys. Based on that mac automatically detects the keyboard and assigns the alt and option keys at appropriate places.

I'd like to know if this works on Windows too. This keyboard looks awesome; I just don't need to Google component to it.

In my experience (several months), there has been no compromise whatsoever in normal keyboard function. I can use any and all key sequences and combinations I have used on any system with a standard wired or wireless keyboard connection.

Yes, there are software programs such as 'keytweak' that allow you to re-map your keys. I frequently re-map home/end & page up/down so that home and end can be pressed without using the FN key

No, it does not have dedicated keys for what you ask. It has those functions under the F keys which you need to press together with the function key.
