Is it compatible with mac?

RoccoPelaI recently purchased one of the regular minis and it is a pain to use on a mac without a significant amount of key mapping in OS X.
The gist of it is that there is no native way on the keyboard to put the command key next to the space bar. So you switch it with the option key in system preferences. Here comes the hilarious part. The ducky advisor uses the fn key + the keys next to the space bar. That means that when you hold down function to use the arrow keys, and then hold down command to perform a shortcut, that it doesn't work and goes straight to the ducky advisor. It's pretty moronic really. I personally use the command+arrow shortcuts for almost everything. I ended up rewriting the entire function layer on the software side. Which worked out fine because the default arrow locations are pretty stupid.
One further gripe is that when you change the caps lock to another key, the LED for the caps lock never lights up! So you can make the whole board light up except for the massive caps lock key.
Once it is set up it works fine and it is definitely beautiful. It looks much better in real life than in pictures.
