Maybe it depends on internal APIs       which were reorganized to simplify support for new hardware, so somebody       has to make changes to the old code, and you can’t just cross your fingers       and hope it still works.              > I can remember when keyboards *didn't* have "Windows" keys.              The one I’m using on my main machine doesn’t (it’s a Das Keyboard 4).
