@Safe – since the keyboard is supposed to work with the standard Mac keyboard signals for volume/eject, MacAlly did not release drvers. Unfortunately, we do not have the review unit anymore, so I cannot confirm of any additional updates, but I’d suggest contacting their customer service email/phone number.

I used to love the icekey but since it won’t work on my g5 anymore I got a new Macally iKeySlim but …. i can’t get any of the 3 volume buttons to work anymore; this is my second one that I tried. It worked for a while and stopped. Do you have any idea how to fix this? thanks!

This keyboard is an absolute steal! Just try to find a decent {apple} keyboard that has TWO USB outputs. Yes, after you plug it in it gives you 2 useable USB ports. I use one for my mouse and the other for my iPod. The critique above states twice that the flat keys are mushy. Yes, they aren’t quite as responsive as more expensive keyboards. But, then again, this is an inexpensive keyboard. I never notice the keys responsiveness actually. I’m used to it. Basically, I don’t understand the arguments against this keyboard. The arguments above remind of the guy who can’t afford a new Mercedes going to the Toyota lot and complaining about how the Camry isn’t a Mercedes. No, it isn’t a mercedes, but you can afford it and it will perform beautifully. Take my advice. If you’re buying this, you might be getting a keyboard for your Mac Mini, which didn’t come with a keyboard. You got a Mac Mini because you couldn’t afford the iMac, probably….. Well. you know where I’m headed with this story.

I’ve had two of these so far and both don’t work. Letters are missed out and some letters are transposed when typing. I’ve got to type slowly to avoid this problem. Let the buyer beware!
