This is NOT Apple quality. "Crapple " is more appropriate

I think I expected too much from what appeared to be a genuine Apple product. Half of the buttons don't work with my X-Plane. And because of the obviously poor quality and design, characters kept skipping. I absolutely certainly typed the letter "a" in the word "quality" and it didn't transfer. yes it is light ok So light that it hardly sits still while typing. I think you get what you pay for. UPDATE: I'm about to break this keyboard on my knee in disgust. Of course it will work great if I…

Pros
  • Complete Set
Cons
  • Zero

This is definitely trying to look like an Apple keyboard. But the keys require a firmer press despite their island-style form factor. I still find myself missing letters since I replaced my Apple keyboard with this one. For some reason, the function key (which needs to be pressed to activate the F keys) is larger than the command, option, and ctrl keys, which I use a lot more. (How often do you cut, copy, and paste every day compared to opening the Control Panel?) Unlike other Macally wired…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • No instructions

Good price but keys changed a bit

I've been using a Macally keyboard for 2.5 years and wanted to replace it (few issues - maybe my old iMac but I'm a keyboard novice). These keyboards are a great value compared to Apple's expensive ones. I got a metallic finish for it - great! This is a matte finish to match my iMac. The keys are not smooth and have a light texture that feels good. The button press and action is very similar to the Apple board. As others have said, there is no way to lift the keyboard to tilt it to a different…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Amazing Lightweight durable quiet keyboard Amazing

I bought an ultra thin full aluminum silver keyboard with numeric keys to work with my Microsoft Surface Book 2. I need a wired USB keyboard so I don't have to mess around with bluetooth issues or wireless. The cord is white, smooth, and tucks away easily so you can't see it. I don't like the look of the wires but I like their reliability. The keyboard automatically syncs with my Surface Book and matches the color - polished aluminum. It's metal because my Surface Pro has a magnet at the base…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

I really like this keyboard.

I wanted an Apple aluminum keyboard but it was too expensive for me so I bought a Macally Ultra-Slim wired USB keyboard. I'm pleasantly surprised - the keyboard response is nice and clean. I just wish it had a USB port so I could connect my mouse to the keyboard (like I do with other Apple keyboards), but that's not a deal killer. The keyboard color matches my 2012 Mac Pro Tower and works well. No problem. Had to go through a simple keyboard setup but it was easy. There are 4 rubber feet on the

Everything went wrong after 1 day / Customer service was great

Update: Macally customer service took care of everything politely and quickly. Very good problem solving experience. Original: Caps Lock Light went out in less than 1 day. At the start of the second day, keyboard input just stopped. No keystrokes are registered. Plugging and unplugging fixed these issues, but after a few minutes it started working again. Both of these things happen regardless of whether it is connected to the computer directly (the new Mac Mini) or via a hub. Contact CS to see…

Pros
  • Keyboards, mice and accessories
Cons
  • Good but not great

Update from previous review

Although the manufacturer claims that this keyboard resembles an apple, this is not true. Mind you, that's not bad, but I spend a lot of time correcting missed keystrokes. I'm kinda having to get used to the other keyboard, but all I know is that it's not as smooth and fluid as the Apple original. NEW: In addition to my previous review, I had many problems. The keys are stuck or duplicated, and in both cases I have to go back and make corrections. My productivity is in the tank. The keyboard…

  • Electronics

Troubleshooting and Causes of Problems with iMac

Ever since I got this keyboard, my iMac has had problems. The keyboard stops working at all times. The cursor freezes and nothing can be done to fix the problem. Luckily, the mouse can at least open System Preferences, but to reset the keyboard preferences, you need to press the button to the right of the Shift key. However, since the keyboard isn't working, you can't reset it. This is a self-defeating question. I was able to turn off the whole computer and somehow the keyboard would reboot…
