Apple releases Keyboard Update 1.0 for Intel-based Macs

CNET staff

Apple has released a keyboard/mouse/trackpad update for Intel-based Macs.

The cryptic release notes state that that the update -- labeled 1.0 -- "addresses reliability of keyboard and mouse functionality."

However, initial in-house testing and reader reports indicate that this update improves keyboard responsiveness MacBook Pros -- potentially eliminating an issue where the left Shift key does not respond.

Unfortunately, a handful of users also report this update undoes some of the potential fixes for the extensively covered whining noise issue associated with some MacBook Pros.

The update applies to the MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.4.6.
