About This App

Microsoft Keyboard is a system preference pane for macOS that allows users to configure settings for Microsoft-branded keyboards and input devices connected to their Mac. It lets users customise key bindings, adjust mouse/trackpad behaviour if a Microsoft input device is present, and manage other hardware-specific preferences. The preference pane integrates into macOS System Settings and is typically installed as part of Microsoft's device support software.

Microsoft Keyboard is a system preference pane, not a standalone app — it is a component of Microsoft's broader input-device support software. Preference panes are not separately updatable through the App Store or a generic vendor download. Instead, you need to update the parent Microsoft input-device support package (or reinstall Microsoft's keyboard driver / control software) through Microsoft's own installer. Check the Microsoft support site for your specific keyboard model to download and run the latest version of their device support software for macOS — this will replace or update the preference pane automatically. If you cannot find a recent native Apple Silicon build of the keyboard support software from Microsoft's site, contact Microsoft support directly to confirm whether native builds are available and planned, especially as the late 2027 deadline for macOS 28 (when Intel-only components will stop working) approaches.
