Anyone succeeded in configuring this keyboard to control iTunes on OS X?

shpoontIn MacOS you can set up F keys to behave either as F keys or media/brightness/whatever keys. The problem with this is that there is no MacOS Function key on Poker II like there is on a Magic Keyboard or Macbook's built-in keyboard. So if you choose that F8 is play/pause (press FN + 8 on Poker), there is no way to actually use F8 as the actual F8. Pressing FN + 1/2 changes brightness and now you can not use F2 to rename files in some text editors.
The solution is to place MacOS's Function key somewhere on the poker. To do that you must change your keyboard layout in the OS by using Karabiner and/or Ukelele. Karabiner will let you map MacOS's Function key to any key on your Poker. I put Function key to right alt, next to Poker's FN key. So if I want to play/pause, I press FN+8. If I want to change brightness, I press FN+2 and if I want to rename a file in my text editor, I press Right ALT (Function) + FN + 2. You can also use Ukelele to create your own custom keyboard layout for MacOS for some more customisation.
