ProtoArc KM110-A Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse for Mac, Space Gray
A full size backlit Mac keyboard and mouse set that will not work with Windows.
The short version
- Mac users who want a full size, backlit keyboard and matching mouse in one box
- People who move between a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone through the day
- You need the keyboard to work with a Windows or Linux PC
- Your Mac is older than 2013 or runs macOS earlier than 10.12
- You want Touch ID on the keyboard
What owners like
- Full size layout with a number pad, which Apple's own compact keyboards lack
- Backlit keys, a feature Apple's Magic Keyboard does not offer
- Mac specific function and media keys work as expected on macOS
Common complaints
- Mouse tracking can be unreliable on glass or very smooth desks; the maker suggests a mouse pad
- Keys can lag or repeat when the battery runs low
- Keyboard and mouse pair separately, and connection problems may need the Bluetooth record deleted and re-paired
- Not usable with Windows PCs

What it does
A full size aluminum Bluetooth keyboard with backlit keys and a matching rechargeable mouse, built for Macs, iPads and iPhones.
- Aluminum keyboard body in space gray that sits alongside a Mac
- Three level white backlight for typing in dim rooms
- Switch between up to three devices such as a MacBook, iPad and iPhone
- Keyboard sleeps after 60 minutes idle and wakes on a key press
- Both pieces recharge, so there are no AA batteries to replace
- Mouse has three DPI settings for cursor speed
A fit for Mac users who want a full size keyboard with a number pad and backlighting, plus a mouse in the same finish, and who switch between up to three Apple devices. The main trade-off is that it is Mac only: the maker says it does not work with Windows or Linux, and there is little independent testing of this combo yet.

Questions
Does the ProtoArc KM110-A work with Windows?
No. ProtoArc says it is not compatible with Windows, Linux or Windows running on a Mac.
How do you pair the ProtoArc KM110-A keyboard?
Hold ESC and 3 while powering on until the light flashes and then holds steady. The mouse pairs separately by holding the scroll wheel while powering on for about 3 seconds.
How long does it take to charge?
ProtoArc lists about 3 to 4 hours over USB-C. The light turns green when full and flashes red when low.
Is the keyboard backlit?
Yes, with white LEDs and three brightness levels.
Why is the mouse jumpy?
ProtoArc says glass or very smooth surfaces can affect tracking and suggests a mouse pad. Cleaning the scroll wheel with an alcohol cloth can help with scrolling issues.
