What is the button in the upper left corner and can I remap it to escape for macbook pro?

It is used as the "Home" button found on iOS devices. When connected to a MacBook Pro it does not have a default setting but if you use the Fn+"Home" key combination it will become the escape key you are looking for. Hope that helps.

Yes, there is a Windows button left of Space and between Alt and Ctrl buttons. I can't tell about functionality because I use Linux OS.

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?

It has an Fn key. When you connect it to mac, it asks you to enter the keys next to left and right shift keys. Based on that mac automatically detects the keyboard and assigns the alt and option keys at appropriate places.

There are two control keys; one is on the bottom left and the other is on the bottom right. There are also two "alt" keys and two "command" keys.

I've ended up mapping the control key on my keyboard to the Delete key. That puts the Alt, Option, and Control keys all under my left thumb. I've never learned to use the Alt key that is located under the right thumb, but it is there. My right thumb seems to only be good for the Space key and Enter. I've been productive with the Control->Delete key mapping for quite a while now.

It's easy to use with mac. The windows key behaves like the command key and alt is option by default. If you go to system preferences -> keyboard and click the 'modifier keys' button, you'll be presented with a dialog that allows you to remap the modifer keys as you see fit. I adjust mine so that option becomes the command key and command becomes option. This way, the windows key functions as Option and the alt key functions as command and you have a mac keyboard layout.

There is a home/escape button in the top left number key row. I really love this keyboard and would recommend it.

The "delete" key label is also standard on a Mac US-English keyboard, not "backspace"... so their label is in keeping with that found on other Apple products.

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

Great! Thank you both so much for your responses. It was the one thing I used a lot on the old one I'm replacing, but the documentation and photos do not show that button.Thanks again!

The side buttons do not work out of the box. However, in the Systems Preferences&gt;Accessibility&gt;Switch Control side bar&gt;Switches tab, there are 4 built in system commands: Restart from top, Select item, Move to next item, Stop scanning, as well as executing Apple scripts when a side button is pressed. If you want more commands or don't know how to program in Apple script, I recommend downloading BetterTouchTool (Free). You can bind the side button to any keyboard shortcut. In my case, I bind them to command-[ and command-], which is the command for back a page, forward a page respectively for almost all apps (Chrome, Safari, Finder etc.)

Not that I am aware of. It shows up in Device Manager as an HID keyboard device and uses a Microsoft driver. I took a quick look and cannot see where you'd be able to remap the keyboard to the USB input device. However, turn off the num-lock (upper left key) and the pad acts as your arrow keys would. I've used it in Excel a few times and found it faster to switch modes and operate from the pad than from both the keyboard and pad.

I don't know about the Retina's keyboard. Mine has an eject button in the upper right hand corner on the keyboard.

I do not know about Mac OSX but it does not require drivers. I just plugged it straight into my computer. There are a couple of "misplaced" keys that you need to get use to: There is a "home" key right next to the backspace key and a lot of times I will hit the home key instead of the backspace key. Also, the delete key is way up0 on the top row on the right side.

1234567890.000-+=/*. That was typed with the iHome USB Numeric Keypad and now I'm typing with my bluetooth keyboard on my MacBook (no air) so now we both know the answer - at least the most likely answer: YES. The only button I'm not sure about is "Clear" at the top left of the USB keyboard. I don't really know what its function is or in what context it is functional. That's my best answer. Hope it helps.
