Is this keyboard compatible with a MAC?

Its a USB based input device. It should work but I haven't tried it. The windows button and control might be confusing rather than having the command button. Its a PC standard so things like insert, home, page up and down, and so on. Control ALt Delete which is necessary for a PC but not for a MAC.

It should be although I'm not sure if the media buttons will work. If you're planning to use the USB port on the keyboard (there is one on the back close to where the cord connects), you'll need 2 USB ports fairly close to eachother on your computer.

Yes - keyboards are generally compatible either way, though they won't have the specific keys you may be used to - and in the case of PC keyboards, they'll have more keys than a Mac keyboard would. Other functions will have different icons - like the Windows key I believe is the Command key on Mac; if you can figure out the differences they're perfectly interchangeable.

Not really. This is a PC item although the description suggests otherwise. it can be used on a mac but requires some jerry rigging. I returned the keyboard and purchased a Macally which has proven to be very god for the money.

In my experience, Mac OS X will recognize most keyboards with no issue, regardless of whether they officially support Mac.

I'd recommend buying a keyboard made for Macs. This keyboard will work with a Mac (like all USB keyboards) but because it's a PC keyboard, the placement of the Mac "Command" key will be different from what you're used to. This can be problematic if you're switching back and forth between the macbook keyboard. However if you're tech savvy you can customize the key placement in settings.

Any USB keyboard will work with any Mac; in most cases, ditto for any bluetooth keyboard as long as it conforms to the bluetooth standards. That said, modifier keys on these boards are geared towards Windows users and, as such, you'll not find the niceties that you may be used to in an Apple board (eject key, volume modifiers, etc.). And you can change basic key mapping in the Mac's "System Preferences" as found under the Apple logo in the menu bar. But rest assured that, if you plug a USB keyboard into your Mac, you can use it.

Well it worked with his Powerbook G4, so it must be Mac compatiable... anyone have any direct experience with using this keyboard with a mac?

It has a USB connection. I run it on OSX 10.6. I am guessing it will work with 10.4. It's a good alternative to the Mac keyboard (a lot less money). While it doesn't have the Eject button that the Mac keyboard has, you can eject a disk by simply hitting Command E.

I think that depends on where your Macbook malfunctions. If the input system and USB ports function well then this keyboard will work. If the input part is down, then it wont work.I suggest you borrow your friend's USB keyboard and try it on your mac, and then decide whether buy this item or not. Hope it helps.

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.

I don't think that this keyboard will work with a mac.You should also really check steel series website on legacy products for that info an any other info for this keyboard.

I would be surprised if it did not work with a Mac. I don't have a mac, and the keyboard does not use any hardware specific drivers, Windows reads it as a standard keyboard.

If you are running XP on a Mac and using this keyboard, then it should work.

Most of the keys will work, but the Mac specific keys will be confusing in a Windows environment. Probably not the best choice.

Yes, this will work with a Mac. You might have to remap some keys in OSX to get the layout to match the Mac keyboard though.

Yes, this keyboard is supported by Microsoft to function with the Mac OS. According to the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000/B2M-00012#overview) it supports Windows 8, Windows 7, and the Mac OS. :o)

It is a Mac-layout, yes. It works with any version of Mac OS that is compatible with USB keyboards. All versions of OS X since 2001 support USB keyboards.
