If Mac is getting keyboard as UK layout but exhibiting the US layout behaviors, there is a good chance ControllerMate is overriding it. The setting I’ve made was made on US layout keyboard. On US layout, Shift+2 yields and Shift+’ yields “. I believe it has to do with the fact that you’re using the UK layout. Updated Oct 15, 2018: fixed the ControllerMate pre-made settings link.

Let me know if there is any questions or concerns, I’ll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Giving it a shot wouldn’t hurt, they also have a demo version available on the website. Also it is known to have memory-hogging behaviors and glitches. On the down side, while it is more GUI-friendly, it requires a lot of handwork to map the entire keyboard. It is intended to be used with MIFI devices, gaming devices, and etc. Several posts I’ve read also recommended ControllerMate for its utility. The settings I’ve made does NOT map the entire keyboard past F4 volume control, but only the calculator key. In theory, you can customize all of Windows specified keys and then some. But it is a solution with finer details and broader control.

It won’t work, because the keyboard is specifically designed and assigned for Windows 8 exclusive features, and Microsoft has no plan to release Mac drivers. Again, it works, but not as it was promised by bloggers or tech-journalists who had written pre-release reviews. I wrote a simple -but ridiculously long- review on Amazon on using MS sculpt keyboard on Mac.
