Hello Eugenia. Please tell me how you got your Focus Blue working on the Mac Via Blue Tooth as I tried it sometime ago and it would not do it and so reported it to the accessibility team who were investigating it. Not tried it since. I have the Focus Blue 40 and plan to buy the Focus blue 14 next month to use with my I phone and sell my Apple Wireless Keyboard as I have two of them.
