💻 Macally SLIMKEYPRO Ultra Slim Keyboard for MacBook Review

A key on my five year old MacBook Air started to fail. I was told that this indicates that the entire keyboard is starting to deteriorate and the repair would require replacing the keyboard, which would cost more than the old Mac. So it was suggested that I just get a remote keyboard and I went for it. I've been using it for less than a week, but so far it's working well. Easy to set up, connect and start working straight away. I've seen some comments in other reviews about the lid light…

I had a Macally mouse for about 4-5 years and then it broke. I was trying to figure out if it was a mouse or a plastic Macally keyboard I had it plugged into. When I found out it was a mouse I went to my local store to buy a cheap mouse as a quick fix. In doing so, I pulled out my original Apple aluminum battery-powered keyboard. I really missed the feel of these buttons compared to my plastic buttons. no matter! but i hated wasting so many batteries and using bluetooth. Now Apple makes…

I bought this keyboard to leave at the office so I don't have to take my Apple keyboard with my MacBook Pro when I'm at the office (I mostly work from home). When I opened the box I was amazed by the look. It looked well built and very much resembled an Apple keyboard. Unfortunately, that's where the similarities end. The keys feel soft and make a quiet but annoying clatter when typing. Another major disadvantage of a keyboard is that it is very flexible. It has (probably) an aluminum look to…

I bought this keyboard because of its price and features. But when I got it back, the Cap Lock indicator wasn't working properly. I spoke to tech support and they said to return it for a replacement. I did and when I got a replacement the problem came back. Customer support told me that "the Apple AC adapter is a problem on the MAC" and the CAPS LOCK light on the keyboard doesn't work properly unless you unplug the keyboard and plug it back in every time you use it . . But I could not get a…

This keyboard worked fine on my desk for about 1 year, connected to my MacBook Air. After that many keys stopped working (yes , the keyboard is clean etc.). So now it's practically useless. I have other Macally branded products that work well (mouse, computer stand, etc.). Revain couldn't help as it's been over a year now. Difficult/long time to reach customer service (particularly due to delays due to Covid) and I don't have time to wait. I have sent a message to the seller and also emailed…

Ever since my Apple wired keyboard failed I have been looking for a suitable replacement as Apple no longer makes wired keyboards. I have no idea how Macally got away from me, but whatever. I tried two wireless keyboards, both of which had intermittent connectivity issues. (See my previous reviews.) To this day, the need for a wireless keyboard eludes me for most purposes — eh, you'll be typing from across the room? But, as they say, different touches. Either way, this Macally has all the…

Of all the Mac clone keyboards, I chose this one because its key layout most closely resembles a traditional full-size Mac keyboard. The left Control, Option, and Command keys are more or less the right size and in the right place, uninterrupted by the annoying "fn" key. The forward delete button is also in the right place, which was important to me. In general I am satisfied. The touch is fairly light and responsive, and the keyboard looks nice. Most Mac keyboard shortcuts are there: monitor…
