EJECT button for Mac users? Does this keyboard have an EJECT button like a standard Apple keyboard does?

I doubt this keyboard has a Mac eject button, but you can add that button to right end of your Mac menu bar by double-clicking this file: Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Eject.menu

The top left button is the escape button. The top right is the eject (one of my two issues with this cover is that the top right shows as a power symbol).

Hi Janet, I am sorry I cannot answer your question as I never tried it on a Mac. But it didn't hold up at all. I looked on MaxiAids for you and it seems they carry the same brand. Google large key keyboards and see what you come up with. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I don't think a Mac has window's, that's only for Microsoft users, but I did have this keyboard for two years and it's great on my MacBook Air 13 inch, and never had issues what so ever...Hope this helps!

Yes it fits all mac keyboards. Be cautious however with retina macs, as the eject button switched to the power button. I believe this is the same with the air.

There is an 'eject' button right above the delete key. The iMac has no DVD drive built in, but there is an external drive that I bought and rarely use. When there is a disc loaded into the external drive, you can press that button and the disc will eject from the external drive. You can also right click on the drive icon and select 'eject' to accomplish the same thing.

What keyboard adjustments do you need to make in order to use this keyboard with a Mac? I am confused with this? Which is the Option and which is the Command key?

It does, I have a Mac myself and my only problem was the shift key doesn't work with Mac so you have to use the control key as a shift button. Other than that it's a great key board for Mac.

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.

It fits the new 11 inch macbook air power button. The original keyboards with the eject button were 13 inch. We have a macbook pro in the house, but this doesn't fit that keyboard in general. They also pucker after time.

I saw this question which is one I had as well. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer elsewhere so I did some tests on a recently purchased Mac version of the keyboard. I connected the Mac version to a Win7 laptop. 1. Where the typical insert key resides (mid-right, next to "Home" and above "Delete"), the key is labeled disk eject. Even though the button is in the same spot as a Windows insert key, it does NOT perform the insert function in Windows. However, the long "0" button on the numeric keypad performs insert as it would on a PC keyboard. Num-lock just has to be disabled. 2. There is no num-lock light. The "clear" key performs num lock, but you don't get an LED to let you know it is enabled. There is only a blue caps lock indicator light. 3. There is no scroll-lock function and no Pause/Break. Where the scroll-lock and Pause/Break keys are located, these are brightness adjust keys for the Mac. Neither key performs its PC keyboard equivalent. So this also means you cannot hit "Ctrl-Pause/Break" to interrupt a process like you can on a standard PC keyboard. 4. If you use the "Print Screen" key in Windows to take screenshots (I do Alt-PrtScr a lot), hopefully there is a way to remap it because the Print Screen key has been replaced by an F13 key and it doesn't do the Print Screen screen grab function in Windows. These answers assume you are just plugging a Mac Das Keyboard straight into a Windows 7 PC with no tweaks. I haven't researched if there's a way to remap keys in Windows to regain the omitted functionality.

It has an Fn key. When you connect it to mac, it asks you to enter the keys next to left and right shift keys. Based on that mac automatically detects the keyboard and assigns the alt and option keys at appropriate places.

Sorry, we do not operate this on a mac. But it is a standard keyboard, so if you can add a keyboard without any extra steps, I assume this will work.

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.

Go (on your mac) to System Preferences...Keyboard and unchecking the box named "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

There are quite a few reviews that mention using this keyboard on a Mac. It works well on my Mac. Other than some slight alternates like the Return vs Enter, everything is comparable.

Yes, similar to detached Apple iMac keyboards. Has good feel to keys, not a cheap feel. I am happy with this keyboard which I have now used for over 6 months. I read many complaints about space bar but have had no problems myself. Touchpad works great, I think earlier reported problems were software related, I've had no problems.
