will this converter function to convert an old mac keyboard for use with a new mac computer?

Im sorry I do not know the answer to that. I used it to connect my old Omni Key 101 keyboard by Northgate Computer Systems to my new HP Windows 8 computer.

I do not know if it will work with a Mac. I do know that it did not work with some Window computers. It is probably a driver issue.

not sure how it would function on the mac. I would check around for the specs. It works real well converting the code from the windows keyboard to the windows cpu.

Any USB keyboard will work with any Mac; in most cases, ditto for any bluetooth keyboard as long as it conforms to the bluetooth standards. That said, modifier keys on these boards are geared towards Windows users and, as such, you'll not find the niceties that you may be used to in an Apple board (eject key, volume modifiers, etc.). And you can change basic key mapping in the Mac's "System Preferences" as found under the Apple logo in the menu bar. But rest assured that, if you plug a USB keyboard into your Mac, you can use it.

Yes but it has to be formatted. It won't work with data from both windows and Mac

Not really. This is a PC item although the description suggests otherwise. it can be used on a mac but requires some jerry rigging. I returned the keyboard and purchased a Macally which has proven to be very god for the money.

I have yet to attach mine to recover files from my old Linux box, but since Sabrent lists the converter as compatible with MacOS X (which is a flavor of BSD Unix under the hood) this should work with Linux without difficulty.

I think that depends on where your Macbook malfunctions. If the input system and USB ports function well then this keyboard will work. If the input part is down, then it wont work.I suggest you borrow your friend's USB keyboard and try it on your mac, and then decide whether buy this item or not. Hope it helps.

Janet, it is a USB connection, will work PC, LINUX or MAC. I assume you have a USB keyboard already on the MAC, if so it will work. They keyboard makes a world of difference for low vision users. Again, if your existing keyboard is USB it should work.

I do not have a mac but I fail to see why it would not be. Any usb supporting computer should make use of it.

No! I had to buy another mini converter in order to get to use my keyboard!

On page 3 of the User Guide it says "Compatible with all USB Keyboards (including Linux & Mac). You might want to check their website www.keelog.com

I would think so. The MacAlly keyboard and mice are standard USB. I'm not sure about the power button though, it might not work as Apple changed the ability in OSX.

Probably, but I have not tested to confirm. It is made for Windows computers. You are probably better off with a keyboard made for Mac with the Mac specific keys like Command, and such.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

I'm not sure. You'll have to check the company's website for Mac driver compatibility. If they have drivers listed for it then yes but it's not a plug-and-play model like some standard keyboards. But last I checked there were no Mac drivers available.

If your keyboards have standard USB connections it should work the leads of this cable are rather short so you may need extenders . Will you be able input information to both computers at the same time ? I do not know .

Alberto, the keyboard is Mac compatible. I'm using it to type this answer!! FYI I have an iMac from mid 2008 running OSX Mavericks.

It will if you have a Unifying mouse. Look on the bottom for a small reddish square with a star shape in the center. If your mouse is corded you may still use it with the new keyboard.
