One one keyboard, my thumb drive only works in the right side USB port. I haven't tested the second keyboard. The new Expose keys (F3, F4) work fine AFTER the software update (this is required) but there's a lack of keys for Expose's traditional F10 and F11 mapped features (Expose Application Specific Windows and Expose to see desktop). Also I was required to download the 16MB "Update" to use the new keyboard features but there is a complete lack of any preference pane to control/remap them. The standard Expose pref pane still shows my F9-F12 keys mapped to it's various features. I love the new keyboard and I won't be returning it but this seems like something another software update could adequately address. Is anyone else having inconsistent issues with the USB ports?

In any case you've provided us with a working link. Thanks! @aj

The links don't seem to work at all. I'd use the headline to search in Apple for now. I'll try and find a link that doesn't crap out. Hmmm. The links don’t seem to work at all.
