Review on πŸ’» Macally USB Wired Keyboard: Space-Saving Aluminum Design for Mac and Windows PC - Travel Friendly 78-Key Apple Compatible Keyboard with LED Indicators by Maurice Cunha

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you like responsive, crisp keyboards and little space, look no further!

My study has a desk with a keyboard drawer and ergonomically my mouse pad/mouse should be here, so I can only fit in a narrow keyboard profile. I've used Logitech in the past, which I liked, but it was only accessible via Bluetooth, not wired, and my work laptop's stubborn security software kept causing problems. Eventually I gave up and found a wired keyboard with a small profile. About a year ago I found one that worked but didn't print well and was soft as a sponge. I hated it but lived with it for a year until (fortunately) it broke recently so I decided to look around for options again and found this keyboard. very subjective) - Well-made aluminum body - Small profile works great in tight spaces - Did I mention the amazing key feel? :-) Minuses. I'm using this for PC and it's a "Mac first" keyboard so all the special keys are in non-standard places. For example, it does not have a dedicated Delete key (the Backspace + Fn key is used for this). The control key has also been replaced by the FN key on a standard PC keyboard. Since the strange key bindings for PC users are keys that are rarely used for about 2 days, I was able to relearn. As such, it's a well-made keyboard with excellent, clear typing, with a few dedicated keys in an unconventional location for PC users. I still gave it 5 stars because I think the key feel is great and that's what your keyboard life is all about.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
