Mechanical Keyboards That Are Compatible With Mac?

[cantalOPe]

This is kind of a dumb question, so prepare yourselves for noob-ness.

 

A lot of mechanical keyboards that I've seen (Corsair Strafe, K70, K95, Logitech G810, etc.) says it is only compatible with Windows; does this mean it will not function at all on Mac, or only the macros and such will not function? The reason for this is that I don't want to buy a separate keyboard for my school computer (a Macbook Pro).

 

Thanks in advance.

Just to clarify, the keyboard itself will still work, just the software features won't work?

As far as I know, any USB keyboard will function as a basic keyboard in Mac OS just as it does under Windows. You just won't be able to use any of the additional features that require software drivers unless there is a Mac version available.

The Logitech G810 has Mac software support. When I visit this page on my work iMac, it shows me Mac versions of the driver.
