Computer Keyboard With A Play Button

I have to tell you so many people are quite to put this presenter down because they say it will not work with MAC. They are completely wrong. If you know anything about computers don't always assume it will not work. You just have to make some configuration adjustments and it works fine. It's a MAC not a PC. So for those who have MAC and don't know what to do I give you some instructions below. The first time I plugged it in, a Keyboard Assistant ran since the Mac didn't recognize the keyboard. I simply quit the assistant, and there was no problem. The forward, back, and black screen buttons work fine on both Powerpoint and Keynote. However out of the box, the play button works on neither. With some configuration in the system preference, I was able to get the play buttons to work on both powerpoint and keynote. To configure Powerpoint for the play button, go to the Keyboard system preference and pick Keyboard Shortcuts. Then scroll to Application Then hit the + key to add a shortcut. Pick Microsoft Powerpoint for the application (you may need to hit Other... to find it, since it's in a subdirectory in Applications). For Menu Title type in, exactly, Slide Show (without the quotes). Then in the Keyboard Shortcut, simply press the play button on the remote. That sets the shortcut to F5, which is what the remote sends when you press play. Now the play button works for Powerpoint. You can do the same for Keynote, with the menu title Play Slideshow. you may have type in keynote in the search to find it. However after you do this Both will work fine. Also this works for the Logitech R400 as well which I would rate as a 5 star as well

I use this on a Macbook Pro and it works, mostly. With a little configuration, it works completely fine. Those who are quick to put this down that it does'nt work on MAC they are completly wrong. You just have to know a little bit about computers below I explain what you need to do. The first time I plugged it in, a Keyboard Assistant ran since the Mac didn't recognize the keyboard. I simply quit the assistant, and there was no problem. The forward, back, and black screen buttons work fine on both Powerpoint and Keynote. However out of the box, the play button works on neither. With some configuration, I was able to get the play button to work on both. To configure the Powerpoint for the play button, go to the Keyboard system preference and pick Keyboard Shortcuts. Then scroll down to Application and then hit the + key to add a shortcut. Pick Microsoft Powerpoint for the application (you may need to hit Other... to find it, since it's in a subdirectory in Applications). For Menu Title type in, exactly, Slide Show (without the quotes). Then in the Keyboard Shortcut, simply press the play button on the remote. That sets the shortcut to F5, which is what the remote sends when you press play. Now the play button works for Powerpoint. You can do the same for Keynote, with the menu title Play Slideshow. (And just a note you might have to type in the search to find keynote.app) Then all the buttons on the remote work on the Mac for both powerpoint and keynote. Enjoy and go buy it this is an excellent price

Its great to be able to switch from one computer to another just with the touch of a button.

Great product for a kindergartner learning to play her keyboard.

The switch works great. I just press one button to switch my printer from one computer to another.

This is the second Zagg Case/Keyboard I have owned. It’s the only keyboard that I have found that allows me to type as I would on a full sized computer keyboard.

This IOGEAR GCS110-4 4-Port KVMP switch is my first purcahse of this type of gear...should have bought one years ago. I had checked out one of the other brands, but the manufacturer's web-site had the same photo and description for two models, very confusing. I am using this switch with three computer, Win7, Win8.1 and a Linux rig. I keep the fourth port open for testing other computers, no need to connect one being tested to a separate keyboard and mouse setup. This switch allows me to easily switch between computers via keyboard shortcuts. I have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which share a single wireless USB dongle, plugging the dongle into the keyboard USB port of the monitor area of the switch allows me to use the keyboard and mouse on all computers. I did have to uninstall the Logitech software which allowed for custom keyboard layout (volume up/down, next track, etc.) as it seemed to conflict with the way the KVMP switch emulated Keyboard and Mouse Control...not an issue for me in this case. I am not a hard-core gamer, thus do not have a mouse with 92 buttons on it..more of a FPS and Flight Sim guy here. I like the fact that I can switch the keyboard/mouse, Vidoe and USB separately from the audio, that is I can have music playing on one computer, switch the Keyboard/Mouse, Video, and USB to another computer and still hear the music from the first computer. I have all my external drives and printers connected directly to the Win7 computer working as a server for all my data. I have a USB hub connected to the KVMP input which is accessed by whichever computer I am using for such things as my web-cam, joystick, multimedia card reader, and ID CAC Card Reader. I started taking IT classes and now I can easily do remote access, learned how to access Windows Shared Folders from the Linux box...and more, having the computers side by side with one control system is a Godsend. I would recommend this switch to anyone considering such a purchase.

Great buy, but it doesn't have bluetooth and it doesn't play from my computer.

Amazing computer. I play games, and use a daily system.

Turn your tablet into a computer with this great keyboard/case!!
