I have a mac. For starters I can't get the @ to function. Does anyone have a keyboard translator for Mac's? Thanks

@ should work fine on a Mac. Might be a faulty unit. Windows key corresponds to the Cmd key on Mac keyboards.

I don't use a mac so I don't know for sure. But it's a standard USB keyboard so, if macs have USB ports, I don't know why it wouldn't. The little button keys on the top (volume up and down, etc.) might not work as expected, I suppose.

Some of the specialized keys don't work on the Mac (like the Calculator key or the Menu key), because Microsoft doesn't offer custom Mac drivers. But for normal use it's just fine, and I don't miss those keys at all.

Wish I could help, it looks like this is App designed for MAC and iPads, and it has a version for PCs, but I don't use the software. Looking at some of the information on the Web, it only mentions that it can be used with USB keyboards, but doesn't mention anything about compatible keyboards. I'd suggest posting a comment on one of the Apple forums pertaining to this App/software. Sorry I could be more helpful.

The keyboard is great, the bluetooth sometimes does not work, i get repeated keystrokes etc. This never happens on Mac. This has to do with bluetooth device drivers than the keyboard. The keyboard, itself is really awesome. However, I really miss the "delete, page down/up" keys etc. I wish someone comes up with the keyboard like this for windows.The Delete key even after mapping does not work with Outlook, you would need to press "CTRL+D" to delete emails.

I had success using a KB Covers Arabic keyboard overlay. I did briefly use windows on my MacBook Pro, but never in Arabic. My Arabic use was on the Mac OS partition only.

Dear Bruin, Kindly please be advised, the keyboard is mainly designed for Windows Devices, thus most of functions for Windows cannot be used on Mac. Thanks.

To be honest, I don't know for sure, but I strongly suspect you can use with mac. It just requires a USB port. Plug in the dongle and it loads a generic keyboard driver, at least with Windows, but I don't know why it would not work with Mac too.

Thanks for the info but by clicking stowaway keyboard icon and connect to keyboard command doesn't work. And when I use the connection manager from BB menu it detects te keyboard but I couldn't pair it because it won't accept my password. I think I'll have to use this only for my Sony micro pc.

I use mine on a mac, but had to install a program called WINE to translate. Reduced functionality (buttons), but still worth the $5. Good call quality on both ends.

What keyboard adjustments do you need to make in order to use this keyboard with a Mac? I am confused with this? Which is the Option and which is the Command key?

Yes. To use this keyboard on your Mac Open "System Preferences" . Click on the keyboard icon. When menu appears, in the lower left corner click on "Change Keyboard Type" then follow instructions. This keyboard works fine with a Mac.

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!

I don't know about Mac, but it does work on Windows. I have it on an XP system, and it was plug and play. I think it emulates a keyboard - you put the cursor in a text field where you want the data, and when you scan, the data appears right there.

For some reason the keyboard did not work for me. I would suggest taking the Mac to a Mac service centre.

I, like Sandy, am using this keyboard on essentially the same machine. I just plugged it in, and everything worked fine. All buttons seemed to be already configured (email, calculator, etc). It was truly "plug and play".I would suspect a faulty keyboard. Do you possibly have another computer to try it on, or perhaps a friend or neighbor who would let you try it out on their computer? Just a thought...Good luck!
