I guess it doesn't make a big difference, though :D Just wondering Joe, could you tell me which of the two screw positions have the smaller screws?

As for the sound, I am not sure what the deal is since I am running OS X 10.5.7 as well. Very odd. Yea, taking it apart was pretty easy.

It's also nice that the design of the keyboard is simple enough to open up, none of the hidden latches or special screws rubbish some other equipment manufacturers use. The volume keys just worked out of the box. I am using the latest 10.5.7 version of OS X though, that "sometimes" makes a difference. Hi Joe,

Odd that mine is not working with OS X at all. Also, how did you get volume control working with this keyboard? Odd that mine is not working with OS X at all.

Funny how I was trying to search how to disable it with software in OS X but I found your post with your fix of yanking the ribbon. It worked great.
