Full-Size USB Wired Keyboard for Mac Mini/Pro, iMac Desktop Computer, MacBook Pro/Air Desktop w/ 16 Compatible Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Rubber Domed Keycaps - Spill Proof

I have a 2018 iMac 21" Desktop that had a "magic" keyboard failure.... alpha keys on right would not work... tried to replace it with a bluetooth keyboard.... same thing happened... so that was returned... then I bought this Macally Full-Size USB Wired Keyboard for my iMac Desktop Computer, plugged in the USB to the back of the computer, and an APPLE Setup Window came up, followed the simple instructions, and it works perfectly. This is a wonderful, old-school keyboard... with raised keys vs flat keys, but I'm adapting easily, and all the Apple Keys work perfectly, without issue and there is even a light that goes on when the CAPS LOCK is pressed. THANK YOU, MACALLY.

This is a really nice keyboard. It has a nice feel to the keys, nothing sticks or drags and it's a pleasure to work on. I got it to replace a Mac keyboard that was losing it's bluetooth connection repeatedly, so opted for a plug in model. Should have bought this sooner, it's making my work a lot easier. Also like the extended keyboard. It doesn't have a lot of fancy bells and whistles - no silly lights or anything, just a nice solid working keyboard. Well worth the money.

This keyboard works fine, and was worth the price for what you get. The issue that mine has is the caps lock and num lock lights don't function. They just don't light up at all, even though they are suppose to. Caps lock and num lock functions work fine, it's just that you don't know when you have either locked on since the indicator lights don't work. Might just be the one that I got, but I didn't bother to send it back since I usually only hold [shift] to make a capital letter and I always leave the num lock on. So although I definitely preferred that they work, it's manageable to work with for me personally. I'm sure I could have returned it for a replacement one with working lights if I wanted.

The single most reason I bought this keyboard is for mac compatibility. Apple discontinued their support for my iMac 2015 which I think is too early. Especially because I spent $3000 buying the iMac. When I lost the space bar functionality on my Mac keyboard, I went to the Apple store, and they told me that my iMac is "too old". And that the new magic keyboards don't care for my iMac. So I decided to look for a keyboard that works with Mac. In the meantime, I have had problems with bluetooth keyboard, for getting completely locked out of my own Mac if the keyboard fails for any reason. So I have been increasingly leaning towards USB wired keyboards. My first trip to Best Buy resulted in nothing other than gaming keyboards, which happen to be very expensive, and secondly do not work, unless you install some crazy key mapping tool software like Better Touch. I am totally against spending money to mask out a problem originally created by Apple itself. Sell me a bad keyboard, then ask me to spent money to buy software that fixes it, and this software has a recurring fee. For this reason I do not recommend the Better Touch tool. This brings to my journey that ended with ordering the Macally keyboard which I should I have done in the first place. But I did not know it existed until I searched for it on Amazon. As per Best Buy, most USB keyboards work only with Windows. But Macally works with Mac too, and that is the main reason to buy this keyboard. But there are a few other reasons. The main reason is that the function keys work! I do not need to install any software to make the function keys work. I am mainly interested in the brightness and volume keys. I tried everything they mentioned on fixing this with the other keyboards, and ultimately had to use the Better Touch tool to make it work. I do not support this purchase of additional software just to get basic keys working. It's honestly a Mac problem and not my problem. I call it poor design and also greed on the part of Apple to keep selling you new devices and make you get rid of your 5 year old iMac. However Macally solves all these problems. You do not need to change any settings on the Mac to make the keyboard work. It works right out of the box. Just hook it up to your iMac and you are ready to go! The placement of the keys is also consistent with the original Mac keyboard which is good. It's much easier to communicate and work with others when your keyboard has the same keys that they do and in the same location. The Macally keyboard even though wired is not noisy like a mechanical keyboard. I think it is a very superior technology. I have used many keyboards, and I love the Macally keyboard. In fact, I am using it to type this review right now, so you can trust my instinct that this is fine technology. The third reason I like this keyboard is that the keys have a definite positive deterministic click snap spring feedback. So even the visually impaired can be fairly certain they have typed the key. It might take a few minutes to get used to the keys. But after that you are flying through the keyboard like you have never been. I am not a fan of the Mac color schemes, but I do like the Macally keyboard arrives in the white color, which does not make it stand out as a different device. The reason for the low ergonomic rating though is that this keyboard is not backlit. I really needed that feature. How much does an LED cost, they could have just done that. As far as brightness I am not sure what they mean, but it is white if not bright. Yes, there is no backlit keyboard for sure again, so it is not bright. The other reason for the ergonomic rating is that the keyboard definitely is not flat. It rocks back and forth as you type. It may not be leveled correctly. So I have to use a padding underneath to soften the noise it makes while I type. There is no Fn key, but you do not need it for most cases. You could use a Mac setting to fix it perhaps. I also get the Numeric keypad which is about $40 for the Apple magic keyboard. You could get two Macallys for that price. Don't waste your money on a "magic" keyboard. You don't need it especially if it is not working for you.

I have a Mac mini, and the bluetooth feature on my computer gets weird, therefore I was having a difficult time using wireless keyboards and mouses. They would randomly disconnect, which would slow down my work progress significantly. Thus, the search began for a wired keyboard. Boy, I had no idea how hard it would be to find an affordable wired keyboard that was Mac compatible. First off, doesn't seem that they're popular anymore, and secondly, the ones I could find were all expensive gamer keyboards with a bunch of extra bells and whistles that I just didn't need. I finally came across this keyboard, and the price had my a little nervous about the quality of product I would receive. But, I read the reviews and decided to give it a try... And I'm so glad I did!! I actually LOVE this keyboard! I'm using it right now to type up this review! I purchased the black one (just a preference thing, don't like the way white keyboards show dinginess and dirt more quickly). The touch of the keys are great, not too soft, not hard and clunky. It's not too loud, but not too quiet either, so I get the satisfaction of the "typing sound" without it being overwhelming. The ergonomics are good, the ten key works great, and I'm happy as a clam. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I haven't had any issues at all. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone who's looking for a good basic wired keyboard.

I pretty much work on the computer constantly. I do it for my job, and I do it for hobbies at home. So the keyboard is very important. There are very few keyboard with mac layouts available, so we poor mac people have few choices, and apple's own keyboards suck (imo). So here I am trying this one. I'm not really a fan. It's a great price, it's pretty sturdy, it looks nice, and because it's full-sized, it lets you un-bunch your hands (which is healthier), but the "feel" of the keyboard is pretty poor imo. The key-presses are "sloppy" and the feel of the keys isn't good. Just really cheap-plasticy feel with no real "texture". Not a fan of this keyboard unfortunately. Anyone know of a good one?

I ordered this keypad to replace the iMac keyboard which was too small for my liking. It is a wonderful keyboard and works well. My only issue with it is that some of the letters are wearing off of the keys. Specifically the "E", "R", "A", "S", "D", "F", "C" and "T." I don't think this should be happening to a keyboard that is less than three years old. I only gave it three stars because of the fading letters on the keys. I just wanted to update my review on the keyboard in light of recent events. I had written the seller who responded to me on the next day. He was very apologetic and asked me for picture of the keys in question. He received the image and said he would send me a new keyboard free of charge. I give the seller credit for standing behind his product. He told me he would send the images to the supplier to have them correct this issue. I will now revise my review and bring the seller back up to 5 stars. Again thank you for your swift response and corrective action. I would have no problem recommending you to other buyers.

Initially, upon receiving this keyboard I was fairly pleased; it was clean (uniform white with grey key text), relatively lightweight (though I'm not traveling with it), and my MacBook Air (Mojave 10.14.6) quickly identified it. Almost immediately upon typing I noticed the clunky, somewhat spongy mechanical feel to the keys, but didn't think too much of it, since it was brand new. The best way I can describe it is that the keys are off-balanced and if you don't hit the keys dead-center, they just don't feel right. (If you examine the top of any key you'll note you can see the plastic injection molding prongs still attached, which is just a small example of the lacking quality.) After only a few minutes of typing a discussion post for school, I noticed the unusual amount of typos that were filling my screen. In particular, I was missing a lot of spaces, and when I backspaced, I had to made sure I was hitting the CENTER of the key in order for it to register. Once again, I sucked it up, and figured "It's new, I'll get used to it." 2 or 3 days later, while typing up a paper for school, I noticed the LED indicating the CAPSLOCK function is BURNT OUT. Wow, that's some CHEAP garbage quality! *I'm going to return this junk and buy a better quality keyboard before the whole thing fails and I'm stuck outside of the return window. @Macally, you dropped the ball with this one. I'll be sure to avoid purchasing from you again.

Works perfectly fine

Good solid and well built product. The keypad is nice and responsive and comfortable to use over a period of time. Highly recommended.

The keyboard has a good feel to it. The keys are not as low as some, but not clunky, full-sized keys, either. I like it. I was hoping for USB-C, but the USB-A will work fine.

Teclado compatible con Mac mini, suena mucho las teclas, no prende el fico de indicador de tecla de mayúsculas. El cable usb muy largo por si esta lejos la mac. Por el precio me parece buena opción.

Excellent keyboard, same as Apple but a fraction of the price.
