Review on Macally Small USB Keyboard Wired (Mac/PC): Space-Saving 2 Zone Design | Slim Compact Keyboard for Laptop with Metal Base and 5ft USB Cable | Apple Compatible Keyboard Small - Silver by Brian Unruh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Compact 2 " design

This keyboard is 14-1/2" wide instead of 16-1/2" like Apple's number pad keyboard. This is accomplished by removing the upside down "T". Arrow keys and the home button stack and move keys. The arrow keys move down to the right of the space bar. "Function" moves to the lower left corner. The "Forward Delete" key becomes a modifier for the function of the "Backward Delete" key. "Home", "End", "Page Up", "Page Down" keys become modifiers for the control keys on the numeric keypad. If you use these keys a lot, it will take some time to get used to them. you probably won't have any problems. If all you want is a number pad and basic keyboard, then this is a great way to get it. The keys have a slightly "springier" feel than Apple's OEM keys. Otherwise the keyboard looks similar. 4 solid stars.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
