For what is worth, I have this keyboard and find it to be excellent. With respect to the app on both the Mac and Windows, and my experience while the app would fail pretty much any accessibility standard, I have found a way to use it with both JAWS and VoiceOver. It requires a lot of use of the JAWS touch cursor and VoiceOver commands to activate different items and it is far from efficient. In addition, you have to get familiar with a couple of nameless buttons to recall which one does what task. I’m by no means suggesting I would consider the app usable, unless you are willing to go through all of these hoops.
Typing on the device for me is excellent and aside from checking battery status I don’t use the app regularly. ________________________________ From: 'Kliph Miller Sr' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2024 8:54 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Anyone using a Logitech MX keyboard for Mac?

I ask because it looks like the only way to disable backlighting on the keyboard is in the Logitech app, and it looks like doing that significantly extends battery life. That would be really convenient for me since I’ll be traveling.

If this is the one you have then you have the one I am currently using. And it is totally accessible. In fact I like it better than the one I am using on my windows 11 Pro machine which is for both Mac and windows. When using it on windows 11 Pro there are a couple of keys that do nothing. And windows keeps trying to install a Logitech app that is 0% accessible. And the only way I know it is even trying to install it is because my 32GB i7 Carbon X1 Extreme starts revving up like it is ready to take off on a runway. The Mac version gives me no issues and does not try to install anything. And works great. I use the Mac Only Logitech MX on my M1 MacBook Pro but since it allows me to connect up to 3 devices I also have my iPhone 14 Pro Max paired with it as well. It works great with my iPhone as well.

Anyone else using one? One thing I’m wondering about is the Logi Options app. From what I can find, it’s for Mac only. Can anyone confirm or deny? Second, if you’ve installed it on a Mac, how accessible is it? TIA, Donna -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
