Question 1

Is this Mac compatible?

Accepted Answer

I bought this keyboard to use with my Samsung Smart TV and it works just fine. The keyboard comes with a small USB pod that connects the keyboard wirelessly to whatever device you want to control. To answer your question, I pulled the pod from the TV and plugged it into my MacAir. The Mac recognized it immediately. Both the keyboard and its embedded touchpad work with the Mac, but with a caveat. The touchpad doesn't have all the functionality of an Apple touchpad. Things like multi-finger swipes aren't recognized. The touchpad functions at a basic level just as a mouse with left/right buttons.

Question 2

Can this keyboard control or switch between two different computers?

Accepted Answer

Not really.  The keyboard uses a unified receiver dongle on the computer.  The unified receiver can talk to multiple devices, but the keyboard can only talk to a single receiver.  So you could move the receiver between two computers, but you cannot get the keyboard to switch between two receivers easily.

Question 3

does it need   a battery ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It takes two "AA" batteries. Battery life is very good too! We have used this keyboard all day, every day, for the past couple of years. If this ever goes bad, I will buy another one just like it. Hope this helps.

Question 7

I do not have a Chromebox so I can't answer directly.  However I know it works on PC's with USB.  I tried it with a USB dongle on an Android Tablet.  The tablet recognized it, but it would not work.
