Review on πŸ–₯️ Macally MKEYECOMBO 104-Key USB Wired Keyboard and Mouse Set with Apple Shortcut Keys for Mac, iMac, Macbook, Windows PC - White by Maurice Rivera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product - I recommend it.

Keyboard looks like a cheap PC toy Jnr/Speak n Spell. The biggest problem is that the function keys are pre-programmed and override any function you would normally use them for. For example, the F1 key, when pressed, will cancel ALL previously programmed functions and CLOSE ANY OPEN APPLICATION. It's been about an hour since I plugged it in and tried searching the web and Apple sites to figure out how to override Macally's function keys. If you find those inconveniences tolerable and the feel of a toy keyboard is okay, then by all means go for it. Function keys are now resolved. Apparently it was just a matter of hitting the FN key and the up or down arrows to change the functionality of the function key. I am very grateful to the Macally people for their help. I'm now correcting my review and will recommend the keyboard to you - if you don't have a problem with a cheap keyboard. The keyboard itself works as it should, the keys are flat but give good tactile feedback when pressed. I should also mention that the keyboard comes with a cool Macally mouse that works great. So summarized the pros and cons. Cons: Cheap, toys. The instructions weren't as clear as they could have been - I couldn't figure out from the instructions that FN and the up and down arrow keys toggle functions. Maybe it was my poor understanding but I felt like it could have been made easier. Pros: Good tactile feedback from all buttons. Useful functionality of the function keys. Comes with a 3-button optical mouse.
