Does anyone that has this run it with their Linux system? Most keyboards don't list Linux but still plug and play without fail.

I have several windows wireless keyboards and they work fine both with Ubuntu, Mint (a derivative of Ubuntu) and Android 4.2.2. I just received the keyboard and plugged it into an Android tablet and it works fine.

Yes. I purchased this for use with my Ubuntu system. Plugged it in, and it works right away.

I use this with 2 ubuntu machines, a windows machine and my raspberry pi. It's a great little keyboard.

I had to use an Hp keyboard for setup but it works with Duo duo and linux mint

Yes, so far this works with any pc I've thrown it against. Xp, win 7 and 8 work fine. I have yet to try it with a Linux box or Mac.

Yes, it does. As far as I can tell it works as an additional "keyboard," so it works exactly as if you pressed corresponding keys on the main keyboard. It should work with no effort in all modern linux distros (I tried a couple). Denis.

The unit definitely works well with Linux. I'm running a Mint (Mate) 17- 32 bit OS installed on an old DELL laptop, and the unit worked right out of the box. Never used or needed the driver disc. It is driving a 5.1 speaker system from Logitech.

It works perfectly on the latest Ubuntu. I have not tested on other distros.

It does work with Ubuntu out of the box. I can't speak to other distros, but I know Schiit has put effort into this product working with Linux. They've marketed it a few times and demonstrated it running on Ubuntu and as the M&M stack being good sound that young people can actually afford. And it running on Linux was a big part of that. So I would assume that anything called "Audiophile Linux", which I have previously not heard of, would be right up their alley for this product.

The keyboard doesn't come with a driver disk so it's basically compatible with anything. It's a plug and play type keyboard.

I plugged mine into a Linux Ubuntu Minimal install and it worked without issues. No software install required, no special drivers. It just works.

I have not used it with Linux. I have used it with Win7 and Win Server 2008. It uses "Realtek" technology, if that helps. It should work with Linux.

The description says it is supported by the Linux kernel 2.6 and above. The 2.6 kernel was released in 2003 so Ubuntu 13.04 is 10 years newer. It's kernel will definitely support a generic USB keyboard and mouse like this.

The answer to your first question is yes, it is MIDI USB so it should run in Linux just fine. The answer to your second question is it is USB powered, but it can also be powered through a brick. The brick is seperate from the LaunchKey, though.

Any USB keyboard that doesn't require that drivers be loaded. Currently using a HP keyboard from a prior system, but any should work.

Don't know about Linux. I've only used it with Windows 7 & 8.1 & it works fine with both of those.

The keyboard and mouse pad work with Linux Mint 17 64bit with no drivers installed. Some of special keys need a little customization if you want to launch the corresponding programs but all basic functions work with no setup.

It works fine with Ubuntu and I see no reason why it wouldn't work OK with CentOS etc. Is there a particular flavour you want to run on it?

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.
