> 3 dayGot this over the weekend and love it so far!! Bluetooth works great for my Macbook. I am not be too great at reading through instructions, so it did take me a while to figure out how to setup the pairing in the mini manual they provide. Just in case this might help for others, Ill leave it here. These are primarily for standard/office use functions and might not be applicable for gaming functions. Bluetooth Paring for Mac 1. Turn switch to ON position on back 2. Press Bluetooth Mode button on keyboard to ON (blue light should turn on) 3. Press FN + Q keys (Q=1st device; When you want to connect other devices, you can use W (2nd device) or E (3rd device)) 4. Press FN + P keys for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode 5. On your Mac, open bluetooth settings and connect. I also went to my System Preferences > Keyboard > Setup Bluetooth Keyboard to make sure it was recognized. Then, viola! Youre connected. Other adjustments: Using FN keys: Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Unclick Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. When its unclicked I can use most of the functions printed on the keys (from F3 to F12). When its clicked, the F keys do not work for me, even when I also press the Fn key. Modifier keys: Under System Preferences > Keyboard > select Modifier Keys... button > In Select Keyboard dropdown, select the AJAZZ keyboard > I adjusted my keys as listed below. I tend to use a lot of the apple command key shortcuts. This configuration works best for me. Caps Lock Key: Caps Lock Control Key: Command Option Key: No action Command Key: Option FN Key: FN function ---- Other thing I want to mention is that I definitely recommend a keyboard wrist rest pad for this keyboard. Most mechanical keyboards tend to be high, so this one is no exception.

Greater than one weekOverall the keyboard is a pretty good value but has some issues. Wired/wireless. Backlit keys. etc. However, mine will need replaced after only six months. Epomaker website says their warranty does not apply to Amazon.com. Heres the problems I have: - My s and . keys are already malfunctioning after 6 months of daily work use, requiring multiple pushes to activate. - Settings/modes are lost after it turns off. I must switch it from Windows to Mac mode every single time. - Some of the keyboard special characters are difficult to read. For the characters to be backlit, they made the key caps clear plastic, and painted them with stencils. You cant fully close a loop in a stencil, thus the beraks in the characters. - Its a little noisy for a brown switch keyboard.

> 3 dayGreat keyboard, for BOTH windows and mac computers, and it can sometimes be picked up for a VERY low price (when on sale). Unfortunately some reviews/questions imply the keyboard does not have a mac function... however it DOES (though it is NOT via external switch, and is instead by KEY commands). To toggle into mac mode (which adjusts the alt key to become the apple command key) simultaneously press fn + A. To toggle back to Windows mode press fn + S. Hopefully this will be of benefit to someone. cheers!

> 3 dayThis is awesome! My first mechanical keyboard may be after good old days.... I got the red switches. The switches are factory lubricated it seems. I will put an update after few weeks.

> 3 dayVery nice keyboard. Lighting modes are very bright and nice. Had to return it because I missed the number keys but loved it so much and wish I could have kept it. Very nice and heavy weight. Really like the bluetooth feature.

Greater than one weekThis was the best purchase I ever made for my WFH setup. I always loved high profile keyboards and LOVE how satisfying this keyboard feels and sounds. I also love that it is hotswappable and works both with bluetooth and with a wired connection. Others have mentioned that it is hard to plug in but I honestly have not had any trouble with that. The scroll wheel for sound is so unique and handy! I’ve use this thing literally every day for almost a year for work and fun and it’s one of the best parts of my setup.
