On the down side, while it is more GUI-friendly, it requires a lot of handwork to map the entire keyboard. It is intended to be used with MIFI devices, gaming devices, and etc. Several posts I’ve read also recommended ControllerMate for its utility. The settings I’ve made does NOT map the entire keyboard past F4 volume control, but only the calculator key. In theory, you can customize all of Windows specified keys and then some.

But it is a solution with finer details and broader control.

I would personally recommend using Karabiner, as it is the only free option. Now I would argue those aren’t even features in the first place.Īt any rate, I’ve prepared number of ways to make it work on Mac. It won’t work, because the keyboard is specifically designed and assigned for Windows 8 exclusive features, and Microsoft has no plan to release Mac drivers. Again, it works, but not as it was promised by bloggers or tech-journalists who had written pre-release reviews. I wrote a simple -but ridiculously long- review on Amazon on using MS sculpt keyboard on Mac.
