The first 3 minutes video sorted most of my problems. Thanks a ton. 😊

Due to a wrist injury, I had to stop using an Apple Magic Keyboard, which I loved, in conjunction with my MacBook Pro and opt instead for an ergonomic keyboard - an old Kinesis Freestyle 2 split keyboard that had been lying around unused for many years. The Freestyle 2 I have is a PC keyboard. Remapping the modifier keys was easy, as this is built into the Mac's System Settings, but I could not find a way in Settings to map a play/pause key for Music. KeebNews's great video clued me into Karbiner Elements, and it was so easy using that app to map play/pause onto F8, where I wanted it, that I could hardly believe it. You made my day, KeebNews!

My question is a little different and I can’t find an answer anywhere. I use multiple mechanical keebs with my iMac M3. I found one that I LOVE but it’s wired. It comes with a coiled USB-A to USB-C cable. What kind of cord do I need? I’ve scoured Google, Reddit and YT and can’t find the answer.

Great video, Thanks so much. I do not have to buy a new keyboard.
