Review on πŸ’» Macally USB C Keyboard - Compact & Mini Plug & Play Apple Keyboard for Mac, Macbook, iMac, Windows, iPad with USB C Port - Wired USB Type C Keyboard by Barb Parker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Defective after one use

I bought this keyboard to use with two 15 inch MacBook Pros both running Catalina. First I plugged it in and it worked fine. After turning it off after about 3 hours and turning it on on my second MacBook, the power light didn't come on. I tried to fix the problem by connecting the device to all USB-C ports of this device and the previous device. The power indicator did not light up. No external device was detected and no other keyboard is visible in the system settings. I made sure the keyboard was plugged in properly, but it must have shorted out the first time it was unplugged. Physically, the keyboard is light, cheap, and nothing special. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. I would be totally fine with the physical aspect if the keyboard worked at all. After just one use, it becomes completely unusable. My general recommendation is to stay away from Macally and invest a few extra bucks in another brand. It ends up being cheaper since you don't have to buy two keyboards after one doesn't work. Very disappointing.
