Oops! is this keyboard compatible with mac computer?

I purchased this keyboard for my PC but have recently replaced the PC for a Mac Book Pro. The keyboard works great with my Mac. When I first connected it I got a message that the Mac didn't recognize the keyboard, (probably because it's not one of the better known makes), this was followed by a drop down list to select a country for the keyboard. Clicked United States and it connected immediately! Great keyboard!

We were told at the Apple store that it is. We haven't set up our new Imac yet but will do so after Xmas, and hopefully the new keyboard will work with it. My hubby is legally blind with RP. He was stoked when I bought the EZsee a couple of years ago. The letters jump out at him as he can see white on black, but not black print on a white background. I will report back when I know for sure.

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.

Yes, it works with Macs. Not all functions, but the basic stuff does. These are my favorite keyboards, nice soft, quiet feel. I even prefer them over the thin mac bluetooth keyboards.

don't know. I work on a MAC but I bought the keyboard for my dad (windows8) plug in and play! perfect for his diminishing eye sight

If it's just a usb it should work with an iMac. I had to return this keyboard 3 times because the illumination button and several other keys did not work. So I would personally not recommend this product if you are not okay with risking the chance and losing a lot of your time. I ed ed up just getting another keyboard

If you are running XP on a Mac and using this keyboard, then it should work.

I don't have a PC to compair the keyboard to but I would assume that this keyboard would not work for you. It has very specific keys for macs and the sizing of the stickers are for Mac keys. If you want a similar keyboard a would suggest looking at Etsy or something of that nature. Even if you don't find a seller on Etsy that makes these keyboards for PCs you could possibly talk to the seller directly and they could specialize one for you.

Yes, the keyboard is compatible, it will work on you Mac. The only thing you will miss is the cd-eject button. To get around the lack of the cd-eject button you need to create a command which will add an -eject- button to your desktop toolbar: Open Terminal and type: sudo drutil eject Press the Enter key Give your password when it is requested.

Yes, it works fine on a mac. As with all PC keyboards, the position of the command and alt keys (windows and alt keys) is physically swapped. You can use Keyboard settings to swap the modifier keys to be in the mac-like position or leave them as they are.

I've returned this item because it was the wrong keyboard for the the mac I own. Sorry if I couldn't be of more assistance.

Sorry ... I have no idea if it is compatible with Mac books as I don't use a Mac ... but I must say I do love this keyboard - it may be worth the money to order it and see how it works out? ;)

The alphanumeric keys will work. However, you will not be able to perform basic Mac keyboard shortcuts. I returned this keyboard after speaking with Kensington customer service about this issue. The representative told me that Kensington does NOT claim Mac compatibility for this keyboard.

i bought my lighted keyboard for a windows operating system but i believe it will work on a mac as long as you have a usb port.

Yes. It is MAC Compatible. I own a MAC Desktop and have used this mouse with OS X

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.

It is. And you can change the alt and control keys to match what you would normally use them for on a mac. This keyboard also comes with a disc that has the drivers for mac or windows.

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.
