keyboard relocates these keys to two arrays of thumb-
operated keys.

thumb keys with your index fingers.
Changing key actions with “instant configuration”
The Advantage USB MPC keyboard has three pre-configured layouts, each optimized for a
different platform:
Windows , PC (non-windows) , and Macintosh. The keyboard is shipped
with the configuration set for Windows.
Configurations consist of groups of individual settings which may also be toggled on and off
individually. To change to the
Macintosh configuration, for example, hold the = key (above
Tab ) and tap the letter m. To change back to the Windows configuration, hold = and tap w. See
