The adapter is too resource-limited to have full implementation. Instead, it relies on a simplified operation mode of a keyboard called “boot mode”. In this mode the keyboard uses a fixed report format to communicate with the host. Most keyboards support boot mode. How do you know yours supports boot mode? If it can be used in PC BIOS, then it supports boot mode. PC BIOS is a firmware user interface to change motherboard settings before the operating system boots. To enter it you usually press a key (like F1, F2, DEL or ESC) after the power is turned on but before the operating system is loaded. So if your keyboard can be used to enter BIOS and change the settings, then it will work with our adapter.
My other computers are a Mac Mini (which also doesn't use any sort of regular BIOS) and an iPad.
I'm fairly sure i have used my keycool in the Bios at home - I will check tonight when I get home from work and let you know.
