It works on a Mac, but...

Kensington has a long history with Macs and this works fine. But the layout is all PC. This is really a problem when I am used to having the Command keys next to the space bar. On this keyboard, the Alt keys are there and the Windows keys (which work like the Command keys on a Mac) are just outside of them on either side. I couldn't figure out a fix for that. Also, the Kensington Keyboard utility shows up in the Preferences panel under 10.2, but I could never get it to recognize that there was a Kensington Keyboard hooked up to the computer. I gave up and bought a Matias USB 2.0 keyboard with a dock on top. It's great and works like a real Mac keyboard.

Works Great

Haven't had a problem with it, learning curve was < 1 hour of programming.

love at first touch

I found this keyboard by walking around MicroCenter and sitting down and trying keyboards. They are all pretty much the same, or really weird (I'm used to the good ol' standard keyboards).

When I got to this one, the first thing I noticed (and I am a touch typist) is that I never missed my keys. On normal keyboards, I sometimes hit two keys or miss keys because I over or under reach. At any rate, I'm sort of used to falling into the valleys between keys, and on this keyboard, it was crazy. My fingertips kept finding the keys.

Another feature to love or hate is the soft touch. It is a seriously soft touch, so if you like hammering your keyboard, this is not the one for you. The space bar is the only noisy key.

And oh yeah, they moved one key, and maybe they did it for copyright reasons? I mean, otherwise, why do it? but the |\ key is below the big Enter key instead of above it. I haven't yet run across a nasty habit of typing Enter instead of backslash, but we'll see.

Love this keyboard. Bought it to program with and use Linux. Think it's gonna be my favorite. And it is quiet. My previous keyboard was the Dell QuietKey (what a riot!)--a keyboard so noisy that during one of my oncoming migraines I realized I had to get rid of that thing.

This is super-cheap, ultra simple. No media buttons.
