Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Kensington Konnect™ is legitimate device management software for compatible Kensington accessories. It may request the normal macOS permissions needed for button remapping and advanced input customization, and some settings can change how your mouse, trackball, or keyboard behaves across apps. Removing it usually stops custom profiles, macros, and device-specific shortcuts from working, but it should not harm macOS itself. If you use custom controls every day, export or back up your settings before making major changes or uninstalling the app.
Recommendation: Keep Kensington Konnect™ if you actively use a supported Kensington device and rely on custom buttons, macros, or profiles. If you no longer use the hardware, removing the app is usually reasonable, but your custom device settings and convenience features may stop working until you reinstall it.
