Not working:
- Brightness keys:
- No idea in how i can fix. Someone has an hint? Standard patching method are not working
- If you long press f6 and f7 they will work randomly.
- Same thing for keyboard backlight, it work but there is no way to change it from keyboard or system.
Issue:
- Airdrop:
- Hope this will be added in AppleIntelWireless Road Map. Actually not an issue for me..
- Battery Status:
- Percentage report is missaligned
- Nothing critical it takes a little more to reach full capability after the system report it as 100% (WIP)
- Just check it with the led you have beside the plug.
- Percentage report is missaligned
