To further clarify: The Matias website <http://www.matias.ca/tactilepro/> shows the model with the two USB ports. However, in the upper right quadrant of that page, there is a link that states "The Tactile Pro has been replaced by the newTactile Pro 3". This takes you to the page showing the three-port unit.
My unit is stamped FK302. IMO it leaves the latest Apple keyboard for dead. Vlad On 16/09/2010, at 9:31 PM, Bill Parker wrote: > > Maybe not.
