Not quite clear what you are talking about, but any ADB (not USB)
keyboard should work on the Apple IIgs, and the F keys should be
programmable in the same way as you would for the standard IIgs
keyboard, if it had F keys. I used the USS Saratoga (nickname), and a
later model full keyboard with my IIgs for years, and even used TAPL to
program the F keys for complex scripts in AppleWorks (Classic of
course). Some of the later Mac ADB keyboards may have had extra keys
that were not usable by the IIgs, but I would guess that the standard
keys would not have been affected. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm
wrong.
