Review on πŸ’» Effortless Typing: Cimetech Ultra Thin Wireless Keyboard – Boost Your Computer Experience by Major Callaham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Mac takes a while to get used to, but it's surprisingly easy to use.

I got this mainly because I was tired of not having a dedicated keyboard. I teach math and with the standard Mac keyboard it was giving me a huge headache. I think it's good value for money. I'd definitely prefer a real Mac keyboard, but for the price I'd happily buy one again. I wish it had the option to increase the angle because the flat is a little heavy on my hands. My kit didn't include a mouse, which wasn't listed anyway, but it doesn't interfere with my Mac mouse at all. So far there are only a few adjustments I've had to make and they're not too bad. Instead of a command key, you have a win key, but that was done in less than a minute. I want it to be in the same order, which takes some getting used to as I use it to copy/paste/screenshot a lot. It just means that when nothing happens, I look down and realize I pressed the wrong button. Thank goodness it doesn't seem to do anything else I can say otherwise I'd be in a mess lol. I'm thinking about putting a command sticker on it so that at least it sticks in my head at some point. I also found out that there are multiple options to make the screen lighter and darker. These are buttons that appear automatically on a Mac keyboard, but are now used to control volume on that keyboard. Hold down the Win and Option keys and then press the F1 key to decrease the brightness or the F2 key to increase the brightness. You can also just darken with the ScrLK key and lighten with the Pause key without having to do finger gymnastics. Otherwise it works fine. Getting started was easy, just plug in the USB, insert the batteries, then press the buttons on either side of the cog buttons when prompted and you're good to go. A good buy for the money and functionality, I would buy again.
