The akbd driver provides support for all keyboards attached to the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB).

The akbd driver supports the following sysctl variable for configuring the Fn keys:

dev.akbd.%d.fn_keys_function_as_primary
	Set the Fn keys to be their F-key type as default. A value of 0 causes the F-keys keys to work as special keys by default ( abtn(4)) and a value of 1 sets them to behave as F-keys by default.

The akbd device driver appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 .

The akbd driver was written by Nathan Whitehorn <Mt nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>.
