Questions and Answers
- How do I pair the BTSOLARKEYSG with three devices? Press and hold the Fn key. While holding the Fn key press the number 1, 2, or 3 on the number row and let go then press and hold the Fn key, and while holding the Fn key press the letter P and let go of both.
- How do I "quick switch" using the BTSOLARKEYSG? You press and hold the Fn key and while holding it press 1, 2, or 3 on the number row and let go. You do not need to press and hold Fn and press P. That will remove the paired device.
- My number pad does not work and I am on my Mac. What do I do? Go to System Preferences, then click on Accessibility. After that, find pointer controls and disable mouse keys.
- Is the BTSOLARKEYSG battery operated? Yes, it charges by both solar and wired.
- My shortcuts for F1 through F15 are not working for the BTSOLARKEYSG. How do I get it to work? Look in the top center on the BTSOLARKEYSG. There are 5 LED lights. One of the 5 has a picture of a Lock. If that LED light is on, that means that the shortcuts are disabled. You can enable them again by pressing and holding the Fn key and pressing the ESC key and letting both of them go.
- What are the four buttons that are near the Number padded side? The button that has a keyboard, the button with the square, the key with the magnifying glass, and the key with a lock are all for iPhones and iPads.

If you're tech savvy enough to own a Mac, then this is the perfect companion for your device. This upgraded Bluetooth wireless solar keyboard lets you connect with any light source nearby or via wire connection and get typing on your Mac - I am using it between a 2015, 2017,2018 Macbook Pro.. It works great with the Zero-Lag Bluetooth and switching is a breeze.
Multi-Sync Bluetooth Capabilities
Whats better than one keyboard? Two or more keyboards, of course! With this upgraded Bluetooth Wireless Solar Keyboard you can connect two devices simultaneously and quickly switch between the two with a simple flip of the switch.
Mac Specific Layout
MacBook Pro Air laptops, iMacs or even Mac Mini. You won't experience that tiring moment where your finger fails because you've hit wrong key out of habit!
Review and Score
Our Score: 79/100
I recently got this Macally Bluetooth Wireless Solar Keyboard, and to be honest Im overall impressed with it. The keyboard is slim and light which makes carrying and transporting it very easy. It connects quickly via any light source or wire and pairs within seconds so no long setup process needed! In addition the solar charging capability ensures that your battery runs for months without needing a recharge - perfect for on-the go people like me. The backlight system also works quite well making typing in dark rooms easier than ever before. Moreover, taking a look at customer reviews online there were generally positive comments about the product except one minor issue regarding a slightly mushy feeling when pressing down some of the keys but nothing major that should hold you from buying this otherwise excellent wireless keyboard from Macally . Based on my experiences using this laptop as well as looking through numerous customer feedbacks give me sufficient reason to rate this product 79 out 100 - an above average score !
Conclusion
Overall, the Macally Bluetooth Wireless Solar Keyboard for Mac is a great choice if you need a high-quality and convenient keyboard. With its reliable bluetooth connection and solar powered capabilities, this Macally keyboard has something to offer everyone. It works seamlessly with all Apple devices, so whether you're looking to replace your existing MacBook Pro Air laptop or iMac keyboard - this one's an excellent option!
This one is LEGIT. Never lags, always very quick key response, like one would expect. Truly bluetooth and connects with my laptop seamlessly. It does put itself to sleep after about 10 minutes of inactivity, and it takes a couple keystrokes to wake it back up. I'm not bothered by this, but it doesn't appear there's a way to edit its sleep behaviors, so if you're the type who may get annoyed at a keyboard for taking a few seconds to revive after it goes idle, be aware that this keyboard does that.
Overall love its design, construction, comprehensive key layout (always love a full numeric keypad!). Worth the price.
Pros:
1. Wireless keyboard is great when working in an environment where I am often moved away from my screen.
2. Solar charging. I hate having to make sure I have batteries around for my wireless mouse already, so was happy to see this works on solar. Have not had a problem with it yet in the several months since receiving it. My computer sits in an office where most of the light is fluorescent, so apparently that is enough.
3. Responsiveness on the keys is great.
Cons:
1. This is not really a con, just takes some getting used to. To power save the keyboard goes to sleep. You have to hit a key to wake it up before you can start typing. As long as you get used to and remember that you are golden. I still forget sometimes and just start typing my password to log in to my computer and then my password is wrong. Just hit one of the arrow keys a couple times to wake the keyboard, wait a moment then start typing.
Update 2/24/2020
I came in to my office this morning and the keyboard is completely dead. It will not work at all. So, while I really enjoyed this keyboard for the past 4.5 months. It is now nothing more than a paperweight and I had to go buy a USB keyboard to get me working again this morning. So, I previously had given this keyboard 5 stars and have now dropped it to 1 star because this keyboard should be able to last more than the 4.5 months I have had it.
Update 3/2/2020
I contacted the seller and they replaced the keyboard for me at no cost which is incredible customer service. I now have a working keyboard from them again so I upgraded my star rating to 4 now. I guess I will see how long the replacement lasts.
Update 7/17/20
I am dropping my review to 1 star now officially. I have just had the 2nd keyboard from Macally die on me in a matter of 10 months. I do appreciate that the company replaced the 1st one at no charge to me, but I cannot in good conscience give this product any more than 1 star when I have now had two fail within the 1st year.
Top reviews from other countries
The keys are good for touch-typing, and the Bluetooth pairing to my macbook pro worked seamlessly. Reconnection when waking up is quick.
My office isn't super bright, but even so, I haven't needed to recharge it.
Heartily recommend.
