Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Macally Ultra Slim Laptop Keyboard for Enhanced Notebooks Experience by Ricardo Fast

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent keyboard but not for me

There are no serious complaints about this keyboard. It looks good and appears to be well built. Goes well with the Mac's gray color scheme. However, I decided to return it for a variety of reasons. I didn't like the feel of typing on the keyboard, which is very different from the standard Apple keyboard. The keys also felt too smooth. MacNally also played around with the keyboard layout a bit. It's basically the same as the standard Apple keyboard, but to add an extra key on the bottom row, the Ctrl key has been made smaller. If you're used to a standard keyboard, this often resulted in me hitting the wrong key combinations. Also, McNally turned one of the function keys into a dedicated push button; In the short time I've had a keyboard, I've accidentally pressed that key five or six times. Although I know I could get used to it, the placement was still annoying. The functions of other buttons have also been changed. for example turn one of the function keys into a "copy" key and the other into a "paste" key. Not a bad idea, but it's still faster to use the basic keyboard we're all used to.

  • Regular price
