Correction: This does appear to be my keyboard. I thought it read K760 to me but I See that K750 is there as well.
***************************Close but not quite. Mine is model K750. I've had a remote session with Apple Care and this keyboard does not respond to the system settings for the function keys. The small keyboard that came with the MAC works fine with the system setting for standard function keys. I bought the Logitech because it is much easier to feel the keys and the spacing is closer to the PC keyboard Ive used for years. He gave me the contact number for Logitech. Guess I'll have to call om Monday. I hate the Apple keyboard or any low profile one. the keyboard was the main reason I bought a desktop rather than a laptop.
I also noted that even the F8 key is wrong. To invoke the VO utilities I have to use the FN key (top right side) with Vo and F8.
Any other suggestions? At 07:50 PM 4/5/2013, you wrote:

I think it is model K750 . The function keys 1 to 4 are set as F14, F15, Control up arrow and F12.
