Macally Slim USB Wired Keyboard for Mac - Compatible Full Size Apple Keyboard with 104 Key Layout & 16 Shortcut Keys - Scissor Keycaps for Tactile Typing

I am very pleased with this keyboard. The CTRL key quit working on my mac keyboard. I purchased a magic keyboard for 3X the price only to find that it is not compatible with my IMac. I am so happy to find this one for a fraction of the price and it works beautifully by simply plugging it in. No setup required. The Function keys work beautifully and there's even a copy/paste key, which is super helpful. Very happy with this product.

Let me tell you, I've been around the block with keyboards, and the Macally Ultra-Slim USB Wired Keyboard is a real gem, especially if you're rolling with an Apple Mac-Mini Pro.First off, the build quality is solid. It's got that no-nonsense, dependable feel that takes me back to the good old days when products were built to last. The keys have a tactile response that's just right, not too clicky, not too mushy – perfect for extended typing sessions.Now, the number keypad is a game-changer. It's not often you find a compact keyboard that offers this feature. For those of us who crunch numbers or work with spreadsheets, this is a real blessing. It's like having the best of both worlds – a streamlined keyboard and the convenience of a full-sized layout.The USB wired connection is a reliable choice, and there's no need to worry about batteries or connectivity issues. Plug it in, and you're good to go. Plus, it's Mac-compatible, so it syncs seamlessly with your system, just the way you'd expect.In a world of flashy, overpriced tech accessories, the Macally Ultra-Slim USB Wired Keyboard stands out as a practical and affordable choice. It's a real workhorse, and it gets the job done without any fuss. So, if you appreciate simplicity, reliability, and functionality, this keyboard is a timeless addition to your classic Mac-Mini Pro setup.

Out of all the Mac clone keyboards out there, I chose this one because its key layout most closely resembles the traditional Mac full-size keyboard. The left control, option and command keys are more or less the right size and they are in the right place, uninterrupted by a pesky "fn" key. The forward delete key is in the right spot, too, which was important for me.Overall, I have been pleased with it. The "touch" is quite light and responsive and the keyboard looks pretty good. Most of the Mac shortcut keys are there: monitor brightness, volume, eject, etc. One shortcut key that is missing that I use all the time is the Mission Control key (F3 on a standard Mac keyboard.) You can, however, set up your own shortcut for Mission Control in System Preferences, if you want.Some cons: it is noticeably flimsier than a Mac wired keyboard. You can notice the entire keyboard flexing in the middle as you type. This doesn't bother me much or impede my typing, but I can see that it might drive some people nuts. As many others have noted, there does seem to be a major flaw with the caps lock LED light. The key itself works fine, but after a day or two, the white LED caps lock indicator at the upper right stopped working, so if you accidentally hit the caps lock key, you won't know it UNTIL EVERYTHING YOU TYPE IS IN ALL CAPS. I guess if you are prone to this, you might want to reconsider buying this keyboard. So far for me it hasn't been an issue.

I loved my MAC keyboard until I spilled coffee on it and ruined it. I contemplated paying Apple prices to get another because no other keyboard is SO low-profile and "key" quiet. Then I saw this knock off and thought I'd give it a try. It's close enough to the original keyboard that I didn't mind keeping it. It's been a few weeks now that I've been using it and I've had zero issues. I love that it's practically identical to the original so I don't have to get used to anything new. It can be difficult to find keyboards like this with the 10-key pad included, so I'm really quite pleased with this keyboard so far!

great product works great with my aMINI

Apparently a design flaw with MacOS. The Caps Lock key works, but the light is mostly inoperative, working occasionally. According to Macally support, the problem is due to Apple changes in the software, and "all 3rd party keyboards that do not have auto OS detect will experience this issue now".They recommend ordering the BLSLIMLINEPROA keyboard, which is supposed to have auto OS detect. I have ordered one, and if it works, will return this one. Otherwise will return both and find another manufacturer.UPDATE: Received the BLSLIMLINEPROA and the Caps Lock light works fine. I am running Ventura 13.6.9. Although it is $10 more, I'd recommend the BLSLIMLINEPROA over this one.

I've used the bluetooth Apple numeric keypads (I have two that I rotate based on charge) for 5+ years, but in the last few months they have both started suffering very annoying connection issues. Keystrokes glitch, typos galore, and no amount of PRAM resets would fix the issue. 2020 MacBook Pro with M1 processor so by no means ancient, and a new laptop is not in the cards. This keyboard is positively fantastic!! Nearly identical in size, very smooth keystrokes with an only slightly deeper stroke than the Apple version. For $40 you cannot go wrong. I now have two very expensive paperweights but I was about to throw them out the window anyways due to frustration. Buy this without question.

Very close to the original Mac Keyboard at a fraction of the price. This is a good quality durable keyboard. Apple doesn't even make the USB A version anymore. You have to buy them used on eBay. Or you can get this brand new good quality keyboard. The newer version of this keyboard that Apple makes is a really nice USB C keyboard but it's $179. Ouch! I am really happy with this keyboard.
