it might happen with 3.0 but for now you can get it working by jailbreaking your iphone.

I guess it will work under the iphone 3.0 update in early summer, let's hope it happen.

Yes, this works with versions of IPAD's that have the original wide adapter. I have also used this on my IPHONE 3S in the past, it may also work with the IPHONE 4 but I haven't tried that myself. One thing it does give me the message "not charging through this device" so even though you plug it in to power keyboard, your device may not actually be charging while plugged into the keyboard.

It does work on Mac OS X. Including the F-keys, Audio Volume, Page Up/Down, etc. Some of the obscure keys I've never tried. The keyboard's mouse navigation buttons work when you slide the little slide-switch to the left (and the regular standalone BT mouse continues to work simultaneously) By far the biggest difference from all other keyboards is location of the 'Apple' key in the center of the palmrest below the spacebar. Aside from training my hands to be clumsy on normal keyboards, I actually like this novel location. A friend and I have been using the Entertainment 7000 Set on our Macbook Pros for a few months. His is a 2 yr-old MBP, mine was new in Nov 2007. Both of us are pretty happy, and have upgraded to the 12/13/2007 release of the Microsoft Intellipoint 6.2.2 Drivers for OS X available from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/intellipointandintellitypepro.html However, all is not perfect. Sometimes the Keyboard and Mouse "lose connection" for a few seconds. The mouse pointer sometimes skips inexplicably. Since both of us are not big mouse users, we can get by. But I look forward to a driver update that reduces these problems... (but I'm not holding my breath) It may be that these problems could be reduced by using the included USB - Bluetooth transceiver key. But we continue to use the Bluetooth transceivers built into our Apple laptops just because it's convenient not to fool with a plug-in key.

The keyboard will work with any bluetooth enabled Apple device. I've have used it with my iMac so it should work with the mini (assuming it has bluetooth).

I had problems using this keyboard with my MacBook Pro. The Mac kept dropping the keyboard and with the Mac you lose the function keys. It may work with other computers with Bluetooth.

I found it confusing that the product description under the photo of the USB adapter (the one you have to buy separately) says the adapter will make it work with your iPhone and iPad. That's backwards. The adapter is for devices that don't have Bluetooth but do have a USB port. IPhones/iPads are the exact opposite -- they have Bluetooth but they don't have a USB port, so the adapter would be be both incompatible AND pointless.

I can't speak for anyone else but me personally, was NEVER able to get the keyboard to work with the micro USB Galaxy Tab 3. I plugged it into a regular USB port on my PC, it worked instantly so I was able to rule out it being the keyboard itself. I think this may have more to do with Galaxy Note NOT being able to recognize a device that is connected to it, its probably designed to only work with bluetooth type keyboards. If your device does NOT have a regular USB port (not micro USB). Hope that helps! :D

Yes this keyboard is compatible with PC. I use this keyboard as my primary PC keyboard. The Function keys don't work with the apple specific purpose unless you pick up a free application called autohotkey(AHK) and the associated script to make them work. It's not perfect, but I just use it with the standard windows drivers and it works fine as a regular keyboard. The Command key works as the windows key on PC. You can still use it for windows key+F for search, and windows key+D for desktop. It works like any other keyboard, but it has a few extra keys that will be MAC specific. The only key related issue I have is the location of the Alt key is unusual, but that is easy to overlook. If you like the way it looks, I say buy it. I particularly like the two extra USB ports you get at the bottom, they come in handy. The only problem I have ever had with this keyboard is one that not many will ever experience. If you have poor grounding in your building like I did in one apartment, don't be surprised if the aluminum surface sends a jolt through parts of your body that aren't your hands. Parts like an exposed leg when you are wearing shorts and typing on your lap. Read up on it, you may find I'm not the only one to report this. Besides that, it has been a great keyboard for me for nearly 5 years. I love it.

I have this keyboard, just updated to iOS 7.1 last night, and now keyboard will not pair. Anyone know any tricks? 4th gen iPad with retina.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Does NOT work well with iPhone, November 12, 2007 By cafehenri "cafehenri" (New York) - See all my reviews If you are like me, looking for a headset that lets you control your iPhone, listen to music, and answer calls without taking the iPhone out of your pocket, this is NOT it. I am sure this is a great headset with other devices, but NOT with iPhone. It pairs to the phone, but not the ipod on the phone. I found out after buying this product that it's because Apple's bluetooth support is pretty weak. When pair with a Macbook Pro, everything is in mono (not stereo, wow, amazing Apple support of bluetooth). From reading online I found out it's not the issue with this phone, but Apple's lack of support for wider bluetooth products, but still, I wish the product description would have said "doesn't work well with iPhone at all."

I own this keyboard, a PC and a Mac. It is NOT compatible with the Mac. I find it fascinating that a Mac user is looking into a hardcore gaming keyboard because it was unfathomable 10 years ago.

yes, I can't get the keyboard to pair to my computer, iphone, or ipad via Bluetooth, nor to my computer via wired connection.

Works fine with my 4S. It should work pretty much with any device that supports Bluetooth. It's a great little keyboard, but a lot of overkill for the phone. Because of it's smaller size, it works well as a cover/keyboard combo for the iPad mini, but it's not a great all-around keyboard. As someone else noted, you might do better with a case/keyboard combo for your phone.

I have been unable to get my iPad to recognize the unit in the settings window although it may work if you have a bluetooth keyboard as well. I'm really not sure but it works well with my MacBook Pro.

I am typing this reply on my iPad (1st Gen.) using my just-unboxed keyboard. So, the answer to your question is "Yes"! (You will need the CCK USB adapter and to move through the message you'll get initially that this is an unsupported device, which apparently comes when any USB keyboard is first connected.)

Does it work with iPhone 3GS, however?Some products that work with the 3G don't with 3GS.....thanks.

As far as I know, iOS doesn't provide mouse compatibility. I have used it with no problems with my Galaxy Note but it runs Android, which has mouse compatibility. I believe that you can only pair bluetooth keyboards to iOS devices, including your iPad.
