WASD Keyboards Mac Mode

I'm planning to order a WASD keyboard soon; however I'm curious on one of the features.  The DIP switches allow you to enable "Mac Mode" which "Switches the default position of the Command and Option keys".  Does this mean that when this mode is enabled, it sets what is normally Ctrl to Command and what is normally Alt to Option?  I ask this as I will be often switching this keyboard between my Mac Pro workstation and my gaming rig; so if this keyboard does in-fact allow me to keep my modifier keys in the CORRECT place (not the ass-backwords place Apple puts them); that'd be sweet.

 

If someone who owns a WASD keyboard wants to be awesome and try setting their DIP switches to SW1 on and SW2 off and let me know if it does in-fact swap alt and ctrl, that would be even more awesome!

I believe that it does that.

Currently roaming the forums in boredom

I like mice and keyboards and the sort
