Review on πŸ–₯️ Macally MKEYECOMBO 104-Key USB Wired Keyboard and Mouse Set with Apple Shortcut Keys for Mac, iMac, Macbook, Windows PC - White by Anthony Shields

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The two additional USB ports on the keyboard are great, but hard to find.

I bought this keyboard and mouse set mainly because I wanted one with extra USB ports (my PC ports are exhausted). It's really hard to find this feature now, especially at a reasonable price! It's a good keyboard, but it takes a while to get used to the layout of some keys. For example, all my other keyboards had a backspace key, but this one is marked as a delete key. It also has a small button labeled "Del" to the right of it, and a "Home" key below the Delete key. I kept pressing the home button because my other keyboards had a delete key. Also, the alt/option key (which I use a lot) and the command/windows key are in the opposite position to what I'm used to. It's the little things that I have to get used to. I like the fact that the keys fit snugly in their holes, which should help keep crumbs and dust out of the way. The mouse was very fast when I first used it - the cursor would fly all over the screen at the slightest touch, but I was able to adjust this in the Windows settings and have good control over it now. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this set UPDATE 2/13/2018 I had to return this keyboard and mouse due to software bugs so I've removed a few stars from the rating. In Microsoft programs, the keyboard shortcut for "Soft Return" (Shift + Enter) worked fine. But in Adobe InDesign, this combination inserted a column break. And in Windows Explorer, the Delete key didn't work to delete a file; it only brought me to the top of the file list, so I had to use my mouse to click the delete (X) icon in the menu bar. I contacted the manufacturer directly for help and was told they were aware of these issues and were working on a fix, but they recommended that I return the set before it was too late for a refund. The return process through Revain was very easy but I was charged $10 for shipping.

Pros
  • Keyboard and Mouse Combos
Cons
  • Not as thick as other sets
