Will Any Bluetooth Keyboard Work With Mac

Both the keyboard and mouse are easy to set up via Bluetooth and the Logi Bolt Receiver. I love how I could customize the keyboard with the Logi Options + Desktop App. It's also easy to have them switch and work with both my personal Mac and work computer (Mac.) the mouse is also very comfy and I don't even need a mousepad for it to work well which is convenient

Love the feel of this very compact bluetooth keyboard. Great if you're a windows or mac user. Very easy to set up.

I have a 2019 Mac Mini that always had weak bluetooth reception for my mouse & keyboard. I bought is as "refurbished" and this is probably why someone returned it in the first place. Anyway, to get to the point, I ordered 4 solutions from Amazon and this Mini USB adaptor was the only device that fixed my problem. I'm using that same keyboard & mouse to type this review. Even though there wer no instructions on the device, I did plug it in, turn off the Bluetooth reception in the Mac Settings, used a wired mouse to turn Bluetooth back on again and it has worked perfectly for the past 3 weeks. My frustration has ended!!! Thanks StarTech!

Best keyboard IMO. Keys feel nice, Mac or Windows keys, Bluetooth and/or USB connection (programmable to match mouse), 3 device (easy to select) option, excellent battery life + spot to place your phone. Literally everything one can ask for.

I have a few Mac setups, and I have added this keyboard to two of them, they work great and have a great price.

I had read some reviews that say this mouse does not work by bluetooth with the Mac Pro laptop. I decided to take a chance anyways and order. It works great by bluetooth. I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase.

If you're debating this keyboard, I recommend it. Here are some minor benefits I've enjoyed: - Backlit keys when color grading in a dark room - Sturdy and doesn't slide on the desk - Bluetooth and wired work seamlessly The surprise benefit is that this keyboard works in Bluetooth mode to enter my password after a complete shutdown and power-up. None of the other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards I own will do this. They work after a RESTART but not on POWER-UP. I was very impressed that they got this right. NOTE: The following was true when I wrote this review on September 5, 2024. This might sound very nitpicky, but the insert card that came with a keyboard directed me to the following website: Logickeyboard.com/shortcut There is no guide for FCPX. I emailed to inquire about this and was sent a link to the Apple website containing the 900+ page user manual. The shortcut guide is more of a nice to have, but I thought I would call it out anyway.

I've been using clicky mechanical keyboards with my desktop computers for years. I love the build quality, the key travel and that satisfying sound. My only issue's been the thickness because my keyboard tray isn't deep enough to accommodate a palm rest. That meant an uncomfortable wrist angle. This Logi low profile solves that easily. For my purposes, this keyboard does everything I need, want and like. And it does it beautifully. Regarding comments about a slow backlighting sensor, the keys on my unit light up as my hands approach and it seems to be on a par with Logi's MX Keys which I've also used and I did not find it objectionable. As for backlighting going off too quickly, I don't have a problem with that either. It probably helps battery life, which is outstanding. I'm using this new keyboard, via Bluetooth, with one of Apple's new iMacs with the silicon chip and the Bluetooth connection is solid. The Bluetooth settings do show the percentage of the battery charge. If you need to boot from safe mode where Bluetooth doesn't work, just pair the keyboard to the included Logi Bolt USB receiver. The only suggestion I would make to Logitech would be to consider using PBT keycaps since they are virtually immune to fingertip oils and smudges, although a microfiber cloth will work on the existing keycaps.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

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
