I get a message saying that my system doesn't support the keyboard. I have a macbook air (Mac OS X). Is the keyboard compatible? Thank you

Yes, the keyboard is compatible, it will work on you Mac. The only thing you will miss is the cd-eject button. To get around the lack of the cd-eject button you need to create a command which will add an -eject- button to your desktop toolbar: Open Terminal and type: sudo drutil eject Press the Enter key Give your password when it is requested.

It is yes, I have an Air as well. I just followed the bluetooth set up and it started up for me.

Hi, yes it is compatible. The only problem I have seen is that the first letter entered does not work. You just have to enter it twice.

It did work with my mac air. I have given it to my son to use with his MBP. So far there has been no complaint.

Yes, it is, I have no problems at all pairing both this keyboard with my Mack book air, I have the latest Mac OS , not sure what it is. I hope that you can make it work.

im typing on it right now with my 2012 macbook air...i have my macbook hooked up to an external monitor and whenever i put it to sleep and then turn it back on its not connecting with the keyboard and i am unable to enter my password. so for now i need to open up my macbook and type the password on the laptop keyboard to log on...but once logged in the keyboard connects and works fine.

I don't know about a MacBook Air but I tried it on my wife's MacBook Pro and the keyboard works after syncing.

The alphanumeric keys will work. However, you will not be able to perform basic Mac keyboard shortcuts. I returned this keyboard after speaking with Kensington customer service about this issue. The representative told me that Kensington does NOT claim Mac compatibility for this keyboard.

There is a guide to getting it to work under Mac OS X... but it's not officially supported, and doesn't have any OS X specific keys...http://5thirtyone.com/archives/751

Hello Tommy; Really sorry I can't. I have Finale 2013 and just upgraded to Yosemite OS and my keyboard works fine. But I'm really not good at why or why not. Sorry.

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

I believe this keyboard will work just fine for your version of OSX, I am currently using 10.10, works fine.

Not compatible with MAC yet. Spoke with Technical support this morning. They mentioned the next model would be MAC ready. They are currently working on the MAC compatible updates.

I have a Mac book air and it was compatible with the Mac. My suggestion is that you use it for one purpose and not to keep using over and over as they are very flimsy.

I assume you mean apple, I have it on a mid 2011 model Mac Air and it works wonderfully; I love it! have no clue about the others models but would suggest visiting an apple store if there is one close to you and asking if there are any keyboard differences.

I have a MacBook Air but since the keyboard connects via Bluetooth, I believe it works with Windows. Indeed, it is larger as the fold is required to have the number pad. Doesn't fall quite as readily to hand as a regular keyboard, but I use the Matias for travel; at home I have a regular wired one.

I personally removed it from my desk top pc and plugged it into my MacBook PRO 2010 (OSX 10.8.4). The MBP saw the mouse as a external keyboard and requested a driver. I checked and found no support for a Mac (mouse) driver. So this mouse did not work for me with a MAC. If one of the others who replied could explain how they tested and made it work, that would be more helpful.

The keys ARE NOT BACKLIT. I assume that the keyboard (Apple) will work seamlessly with the Macbook air since it should be fully compatible

The keyboard will work with a Mac, however the software is only for a Windows based PC.

10.9.1 is what I have on my Mac mini. It was pretty much plug and play. It did have, a few questions and promos when I plugged in to the USB port. I was told by others this was a plug and play keyboard . After all the Macally folks are pretty much MAC friendly when it comes to hook up. Try reboot after plugged in. Can you upgrade your OS? I agree that the website is not to helpfully. With that said I really like the feel of this new keyboard.
