Connect Apple Bluetooth Keyboard To Imac

[USB-A (2.0)] I have an iMac from late 2009 and by bluetooth was not totally compatible with the Magic Track Pad 2. Before ordering the trackpad I researched on the internet, spoke to people at Apple and B&H. What I got was varying opinions. What I concluded was that I should spend the extra money. When they arrived I paired by trackpad to my iMac without the adapter. It worked initially. But when the iMac went to sleep, the pairing was lost. I hooked up the adapter and since then the trackpad and iMac are happily paired. One last comment. Since I bought from B&H and live out of New York State, there was no sales tax. That combined with the lower price for the trackpad at B&H, I saved money versus driving to the closet Apple Store. Thank you B&H!

[3] Being a long time PC extended keyboard user and even Apple II mechanical keyboard, I was having a hard time using the chiclet-style, no number pad, no DELETE key Mac keyboard that came with my iMac. The Das Keyboard solved all those problems. It is heavy (built like a battleship) and doesn't slide around. The click and feel let me know when keystroke is done. Easy to feel the edges of the keys and know where I am on the keyboard. Extra CTRL key on right is nice and both left and right CTRL keys are in the same relative position, not getting confused with the FN key as on the Apple keyboard. Having a DEL key in normal PC location is great. The round sound volume knob works fine for me. I don't have any problem with the 6+ foot cord to connect to the iMac - glad it is not short. The 2 USB3 ports also work fine for me and are appreciated. The only downside for me is the sharp edge at my wrists and no wrist rest. That is easily remedied at the store. A less expensive, PC keyboard would also have worked functionally and you have to decide what is best for you. Having the keys (CTRL, OPTION/ALT, CMD) labelled correctly makes the transition from PC to MAC easier. For me, the weight and feel and click of the keyboard was worth the extra cost.

[0.31 lb] Bought this to connect an Apple Cinema Display A1026 to an iMac 2017 Retina. It’s not an easy item to find. B&H delivery came right on time. Reasonably priced, especially considering the great info and service you get from them.

[Mac] If you're debating this keyboard, I recommend it. Here are some minor benefits I've enjoyed: - Backlit keys when color grading in a dark room - Sturdy and doesn't slide on the desk - Bluetooth and wired work seamlessly The surprise benefit is that this keyboard works in Bluetooth mode to enter my password after a complete shutdown and power-up. None of the other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards I own will do this. They work after a RESTART but not on POWER-UP. I was very impressed that they got this right. NOTE: The following was true when I wrote this review on September 5, 2024. This might sound very nitpicky, but the insert card that came with a keyboard directed me to the following website: Logickeyboard.com/shortcut There is no guide for FCPX. I emailed to inquire about this and was sent a link to the Apple website containing the 900+ page user manual. The shortcut guide is more of a nice to have, but I thought I would call it out anyway.

[iOS, Mac] Other than not having the touch ID function that Apple's Bluetooth keyboard offers, Satechi does an immaculate job. Even Apple's magic keyboard doesnt have backlit keys, like this one! It's recommend it in a heartbeat over the other one. Well built!

[Membrane] I've used this for just 2 weeks, but it's the perfect replacement for my Apple wireless keyboard. It's virtually identical except it lies flatter on my desk since it obviously doesn't have the battery compartment (they did include optional sticky rubber pads to tilt the keyboard forward). I replaced my old wireless keyboard since I bought the new 2020 M1 Mac Mini and immediately had the bluetooth issues others have complained about. Weirdly enough, I could solve my keyboard issue by turning my Apple mouse off and on, but it got annoying. Right now, this wired keyboard is perfect, buttons all work as they should, choices of backlighting or not, controls sound levels as well as all the other functions I'm accustomed to using. Plus, no cost of feeding AA batteries to the wireless. Time will tell, but right now, I am satisfied, even if Apple finally does resolve their bluetooth issue.

[3] I can't believe it too me this long to realize I've been handicapped by the Apple bluetooth keyboard all these years. The Daskeyboard too about four minutes to get used to before I started writing with greater efficiency than I imagined possible. I'm impressed with the materials, the build and the promise, delivered. The cost is well worth it.

[0.9 lb] I had same set of keyboard and mouse with my old iMac-2013, but now these are further developed- they work with rechargeable batteries and since to connect through usb-c. amazing tools

[0.42 lb] I'm very pleased with purchase. It works perfectly and I like the quality of this keyboard. I bought this model because I wanted the option to connect with the wire in case there was Bluetooth connectivity issues. Bluetooth works well, no issues and easy to connect.

[Pink] I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard to connect to my laptop and found this package.  I loved the idea that it could be paired with up to 3 devices.  I tried to connect a desktop using a cheap Trendnet Bluetooth adapter but couldnt get it to work, so I used the supplied Unifying Receiver.  It works great.  I may add a third device just for fun.  You do have to switch both the keyboard and mouse, but I find it pretty easy and have had no problems so far. Im very happy with this purchase!
