Has anybody had any problems with this keyboard when plugging the dongle into a USB hub rather than one of the USB ports on the back of an iMac?

If the USB hub is 2.0 and not a 3.0 it should work fine. I had mine plugged into a 3.0 port which Logitech told me was not compatible with this keyboard. They sent me, free of charge, a USB extender cable which seems to have taken care of the problem.

I had trouble connecting my MacBook with Sentey's 4-port hub. My Logitech mouse (M325) never worked through the hub. The K750-Mac sometimes worked, but lost connection so much that I bought an Apple bluetooth keyboard.

None at all, using both powered and un-powered USB hubs. The keyboard works flawlessly on both a MacBook Air and a Mac Mini using even daisy-chained hubs.

Yes, we had problems with the wireless connection on a new 2013 iMac. Couldn't solve it, rebooted twice.

I have the dongle plugged into a belkin powered 6 port USB hub and the keyboard works fine, except I can't boot into Bootcamp unless I attach a wired keyboard. Whether on not I could boot into Bootcamp with the dongle plugged into the back of the iMac instead of the hub, I haven't tried.

I've been using mine with a USB hub since I got it and haven't had any problems at all.

You won't have problems with this Logitech 750 Keyboard until about 2 1/2 years is when the battery goes dead. I replaced my battery from Amazon...Maxell ML2032 Rechargeable 3V coin cell lithium battery. When you remove the battery it will have a sticker that says " Do not replace battery" Why? When you can purchased the same battery here on Amazon! Remove the sticker and you have your Maxell ML2032 Rechargeable 3V coin cell lithium .

I use mine with a MBPr and a Cinema Display (which has a built-in hub). I leave the dongle plugged into the back of the display, since I don't need the keyboard, when I take it with me. I can't wake the computer from the keyboard. Once it's awake, I haven't had a problem, though.

I have been using this keyboard without incident for 5 years with a 2009 27" iMac as well as a MacBook Pro at work. There are absolutely no issues using this keyboard with a Mac. You'll need to go into the System Preferences &gt; "Keyboard" &gt; "Modifier Keys..." and swap the "Windows" (option) and "alt" (command) keys so it will function just like a Mac keyboard. Please ignore all the Windows users' comments who have no first-hand knowledge.

Hi SGC,As S. Endres has said, the keyboard should be compatible with a mac. I'm not 100% percent sure as I have a Windows laptop that I am using the keyboard for, and I don't have a mac around to test, but as far as I know, it should be a simple plug and play. I didn't install any drivers or the sort when I was first using it, and it has been working great so far, no complaints.

Christopher, I'm currently using this keyboard with my WinXP Boot Camp install (20" Core Duo iMac), and it works pretty well. I've only had one problem--whenever I accidentally engage the caps lock key, the keyboard locks up (i.e., input isn't getting to the XP machine), and so I have to open the battery compartment (to shut the keyboard off), close the compartment, and re-push the power/connect button on the keyboard to make XP take input again. This isn't a big problem for me because I don't use the caps lock key intentionally. As far as setup is concerned, I'm not sure how easily you'll get the drivers for this keyboard on Windows (sans Boot Camp, anyway). Maybe there's a generic BT keyboard driver that would work?

I use it with both my iMac and MacBook Air (both bought this year). Had to download the driver software but no issues.

None. But I've used a cheap, unpowered multi-port hub with a mouse, headphones and this keyboard without any problems. Might struggle if you want to run an external DVD drive or something though, in which case plug the power-hungry thing directly into your computer and use the hub for weaker things. Or get a powered (AC plug-in) hub - they aren't that expensive.

The keyboard comes with a 30-pin apple adapter, but no apple lightning adapter is included. I use the keyboard with an Apple iPad that has a lightning adapter. No USB hub is required.

I own 2 Das Keyboards (Professional and Ultimate) for work and home and have used them both across Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, and Ubuntu and have never had any problems.

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.

Yes, when plugging in a flash drive. I couldn't get a USB keyboard to work.

if plugging it into a different usb port doesnt work then you got a defective keyboard. ive had mine for a year and no problems

There should be no issues with using this on almost any device that takes a USB plug. That said I have not used this particular keyboard with that particular operating system

Hi Chopanda, The wired keyboard commonly used with iMac has built-in USB ports for easy connection for things like wired mouse and USB memory stick. However, these USB ports do not provide enough power, so you need to connect the VIDBOX directly to one of the USB ports on the back of the iMac. We generally recommend that you do not use any USB hub or extension cable and connect the VIDBOX directly to a USB port on your Mac to ensure that the VIDBOX gets enough power to function properly. Thank you, Honestech, Inc.

Am typing with this keyboard on a macbook pro right now.I had to use the Ctrl+alt+shift+N shortcut for it to be recognized properly everytime i plug it in however, otherwise it just types gibberish

So far I have had no problems using it with my desktop. Response time is the same as if I was using the plugged in keyboard. Please let me know if you have any specific concerns and I will test them out.

A few questions: Are you using this with a Mac? Are there usb 3.0 hub drivers to install for Mac? Are you referring to the physical plugging-in act or the device plugs in but doesn't charge or get recognized by your computer?

Yes. I just put the USB into mac and the mouse immediately started working. The keyboard also starts working after going through the standard wizard with simple screens - which is a typical thing on any mac device when you connect an external keyboard.
