AFAIK, it should. I"m using it on a PPC eMac. However, generally speaking, USB devices should be interchangable. The best bet to definitively verify this would be to consult the Tech Specs sheet for your computer (goto http://support.apple.com/specs/ Once there, enter your machine's serial number into the appropriate field. You'll find the SN by clicking on the apple in the upper left corner of your screen, and going down to "About This Mac". You'll see a screen with the Mac OS X logo with the version number under that. Click on the version number twice. This should show your machine's SN. The spec sheet will definitively show your the appropriate Apple keyboard which should work. AFAIK, it should.

Janet, it is a USB connection, will work PC, LINUX or MAC. I assume you have a USB keyboard already on the MAC, if so it will work. They keyboard makes a world of difference for low vision users. Again, if your existing keyboard is USB it should work.

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

It should be fine. I have a similar, quite old (&gt; 5 years old), keyboard that works perfectly with a late 2012 iMac.

According to system requirements it works on Mac os x 10.4.10-10.6 G3, G4, G5. I hope this information is helpful.KC

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

yes however the software to do so doesn't with it. Depending on you OS and version you will have a 50/50 shot in finding something that works with your setup. While this keyboard is a cool idea, the execution software-wise is not worth the trouble IMO.

Yes it will. The bad thing is the art key, Windows key, and the control keys don't work the same way on the Mac as Windows. The keys are labeled for Windows. Otherwise it works great.

It'll work for the most part. There are little things about it that won't work with mac...some hot keys, the num and caps lock won't light up, etc.

As long as MacPro has a standard QWERTY keyboard, then you should be fine. There is no software to install, so you don't need to worry about the OS. I think the new ones are USB. I have two of these and one is pre-USB, so I have a pigtail (available at Radio Shack and ..rarely.. Best Buy) on the older one.

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.

Hi Josh, This keyboard will not work on a Mac do to no driver support for OSX. There are linux drivers that might work but you would have to do some research. If you are looking for a gaming keyboard I would recommend Razer they fully support OSX and Windows for all of their products.

We use ours with the Mac mini. One of the keys sticks so it's kind of cheap but it does the job.

I do not know specifically if it will. Most USB keyboards will work with Apple products, but some functionality may be missing (special keys). Here is a page from the Max keyboard website that talks around the issue:http://blog.maxkeyboard.com/faqs/does-max-keyboard-nighthawk-x7-x8-x9-compatible-with-mac-os-and-linux-operating-system/. Amazon does have a search feature for "mac compatible" keyboards you might want to check out. Good luck.

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

Probably too late to help, but yes, it will. I use it with my plain Macbook and it works fine. However, the function keys are different.

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.
