The Modern Keyboard is an all-new aluminum keyboard, styled after the one that Microsoft ships with its Surface all-in-one. It’s wired or wireless depending on your preference, has practical. Dec 28, 2017 I checked the compatibility disclaim, the mouse says yes, but found many reviews on amazon that the mouse won't work with mac, regardless what Microsoft says. So just want confirmation from real people and real use case. Mar 19, 2020  Mac Compatability for Mircrosoft Arc Touch Mouse I'm a Mac OS user who's interested in Microsoft's Arc Touch Mouse. I would like to know whether the mouse can work on Mac or not. The one thing I really like about that mouse is the metal mouse wheel. That feels more premium than the rest of the product. The right mouse button click sounds and feels different than the one of the left mouse button. The click is not as bright sounding as a brand new micro switch of a brand new product would suggest. The left button sounds new.

Microsoft has quietly posted two new accessories onto its online storefront, called the 'Modern Keyboard' and 'Modern Mouse' (via Engadget). Both devices are built to visually match the company's line of Surface products and connect to Windows PCs, but the Modern Keyboard will also connect to any macOS and iOS device that supports Bluetooth 4.0.

The Modern Keyboard has a low profile with an aluminum frame that Microsoft says is 'virtually indestructible,' while still remaining sleek. It can also be used wirelessly through Bluetooth 4.0 or with a wired connection, includes a rechargeable battery that can last up to two months on one charge, and weighs about 14.79 ounces.

Notably, the Modern Keyboard includes a hidden fingerprint sensor located between the Alt and Ctrl keys that lets users unlock their Windows 10 devices with a simple finger press using Windows Hello. Although the keyboard can be used on a Mac, iPhone, and iPad to type, the fingerprint unlocking feature is not compatible with Apple devices.

Microsoft said that its goal was to seamlessly blend the fingerprint sensor into a key on the keyboard, 'so it would appear to be any other key.'

Microsoft's new keyboard falls in line with a similar product requested by Mac fans since the debut of Touch ID within the MacBook Pro's keyboard last year, which would be a Magic Keyboard for Mac with Touch ID included somewhere on the device. Last week, Apple launched a new Magic Keyboard with a number pad, but it lacks a Touch Bar and Touch ID.

The Modern Mouse is made out of similar metal material as the keyboard and includes 'premium precision pointing and clicking,' according to Microsoft, but it lacks compatibility with macOS. It also uses AAA batteries with a battery life of around 12 months.
