General
Does this only work with Windows, or will it work with my MacBook, iPad, iPhone or Android phone?
Almost certainly.
Echelon has been tested with Windows, macOS, Chromebook, iPhones, iPads and Android Phones and Tablets and worked well with all of them.
Its keys and shortcuts are designed around Windows, however, so compatibility will vary for other systems. If you’re primarily planning to use this keyboard with a Mac, iPhone or iPad, we recommend using the
Echelon Wireless Keyboard for macOS instead.

Should I use the 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth connection with Echelon?
For most users, there will be very little appreciable difference between Echelon’s Bluetooth and 2.4GHz modes.
Some users find it easier to plug in a USB-A device, while others find the Bluetooth pairing process more convenient.
The 2.4GHz mode is slightly more responsive and suffers a little less signal loss, which can be useful if you’re playing video games or require rapid responses for some other reason.
Can I use Echelon wired?
Echelon devices can be used while charging, but they can’t connect to a computer via USB – they need a wireless Bluetooth or 2.4GHz connection.
