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 Gary Konduru

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Affordable wired USB-C keyboard. Suitable for little-used purposes, definitely not as a main keyboard.

I recently bought a very small Android phone because I didn't want to take a rock with me wherever I went. While the on-screen keyboard proved surprisingly functional, an external keyboard seemed preferable at home. McAllee is enough. FYI, "mini" refers to the keyboard, not USB C (at the moment there is only one USB C port as opposed to USB A/B). The keyboard works fine. However, very cheaply made. A button looks like it's about to pop out. While this is just aesthetics, and the key works well. To be clear, this keyboard is made of cheap plastic throughout. The metallic look is just a facade. There's also high passive power consumption, probably because the LED is active every time you connect (even when the phone is in sleep mode). There's no USB-C daisy chain jack (which would be handy given the power consumption, so I could charge my phone without having to keep switching plugs). Overall very cheaply made, but (so far) works.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Only available in black
