Benq wireless keyboard: works with Mac too…

As a Mac-switcher (and still using/owning some Windows PCs) I’m always looking for stuff I can use on my Powerbook G4 and iMac too.

Benq keyboard model X530 got my attention while walking in one of those retail stores for its sleek design and, quite clear, its low price, less than $20.

A wireless keyboard with optical mouse just like thousands others you may have seen; light keyboard with a good touch with USB connection and a split PS/2 connector for older PCs.

Strangely enough the box says it’s just for Windows 9X/2000/XP: funny I bet on this error and won.
Plugged it in the Powerbook and boom (just like Steve says) it worked. No driver, just a dialog box asking what kind is the detected ‘external keyboard’.

I’m still arguing why most products never state they work with Macs too.

Check Benq web pages for more details.
