Hi, I’m a longtime Mac user, but just got the Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic key board and am trying to assess whether or not it’s workable for me. I’m struggling a bit with the re-mapping process. I think I’ve successfully done it such that the ctrl c and ctrl v again functions like copy/paste as it does on a Mac keyboard. Also some keys on a Windows keyboard may do different things on a Mac from what they do on a Windows PC. Like the Alt/Option key on a Mac keyboard may not be the Alt key on a Windows keyboard. Not sure, don't remember as I haven't used a Win keyboard on a mac in many months. But you can use other keys or key combo to give you the same functions. Connectivity between your Bluetooth keyboard and your computer depends on your Bluetooth transceiver. If your keyboard did not include a Microsoft Bluetooth transceiver, you must pair the device by using your computer’s built-in (non-Microsoft transceiver) and the computer’s Bluetooth software configuration program.
