Mac compatibility at its best (rise of the function keys and the fall of inconfigurability)

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

The single most reason I bought this keyboard is for mac compatibility. Apple discontinued their support for my iMac 2015 which I think is too early. Especially because I spent $3000 buying the iMac. When I lost the space bar functionality on my Mac keyboard, I went to the Apple store, and they told me that my iMac is “too old”. And that the new magic keyboards don’t care for my iMac. So I decided to look for a keyboard that works with Mac. In the meantime, I have had problems with bluetooth keyboard, for getting completely locked out of my own Mac if the keyboard fails for any reason. So I have been increasingly leaning towards USB wired keyboards. My first trip to Best Buy resulted in nothing other than gaming keyboards, which happen to be very expensive, and secondly do not work, unless you install some crazy key mapping tool software like Better Touch. I am totally against spending money to mask out a problem originally created by Apple itself. Sell me a bad keyboard, then ask me to spent money to buy software that fixes it, and this software has a recurring fee. For this reason I do not recommend the Better Touch tool.

This brings to my journey that ended with ordering the Macally keyboard which I should I have done in the first place. But I did not know it existed until I searched for it on Amazon. As per Best Buy, most USB keyboards work only with Windows. But Macally works with Mac too, and that is the main reason to buy this keyboard. But there are a few other reasons.

The main reason is that the function keys work! I do not need to install any software to make the function keys work. I am mainly interested in the brightness and volume keys. I tried everything they mentioned on fixing this with the other keyboards, and ultimately had to use the Better Touch tool to make it work. I do not support this purchase of additional software just to get basic keys working. It’s honestly a Mac problem and not my problem. I call it poor design and also greed on the part of Apple to keep selling you new devices and make you get rid of your 5 year old iMac. However Macally solves all these problems. You do not need to change any settings on the Mac to make the keyboard work. It works right out of the box. Just hook it up to your iMac and you are ready to go! The placement of the keys is also consistent with the original Mac keyboard which is good. It’s much easier to communicate and work with others when your keyboard has the same keys that they do and in the same location.

The Macally keyboard even though wired is not noisy like a mechanical keyboard. I think it is a very superior technology. I have used many keyboards, and I love the Macally keyboard. In fact, I am using it to type this review right now, so you can trust my instinct that this is fine technology.

The third reason I like this keyboard is that the keys have a definite positive deterministic click snap spring feedback. So even the visually impaired can be fairly certain they have typed the key. It might take a few minutes to get used to the keys. But after that you are flying through the keyboard like you have never been.

I am not a fan of the Mac color schemes, but I do like the Macally keyboard arrives in the white color, which does not make it stand out as a different device.

The reason for the low ergonomic rating though is that this keyboard is not backlit. I really needed that feature. How much does an LED cost, they could have just done that. As far as brightness I am not sure what they mean, but it is white if not bright. Yes, there is no backlit keyboard for sure again, so it is not bright. The other reason for the ergonomic rating is that the keyboard definitely is not flat. It rocks back and forth as you type. It may not be leveled correctly. So I have to use a padding underneath to soften the noise it makes while I type.

There is no Fn key, but you do not need it for most cases. You could use a Mac setting to fix it perhaps.

I also get the Numeric keypad which is about $40 for the Apple magic keyboard. You could get two Macallys for that price. Don’t waste your money on a “magic” keyboard. You don’t need it especially if it is not working for you.

Works well, feels great to type on, but….

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

Color: blackVerified Purchase

like many users have also said, the caps-lock light doesn’t work for mine, so I never really know when the caps are on or not without typing. But since I was in the market for a “wired” keyboard for mac and didn’t want to spend more than $30 for a non-Apple product, this keyboard was the only option. But other than the caps-lock light, the keyboard works great and has a great “feel” and bounce to it so you know when you’ve pressed a key. I was hoping the caps-lock light was a fluke and my keyboard would have worked perfectly, but no such luck and I just didn’t want to go through the trouble of shopping for another keyboard since every other aspect of this keyboard is spot on, hence the 4 star review. So now that I’ve used the keyboard for about half a year, I’ve gotten use to not having the caps light and it’s not too bad, but still couldn’t get myself to award 5 stars given the miss.

Light and has good touch

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

It’s lighter than my old one but that’s because it has no ports. I couldn’t find a plug-in keyboard with ports. So, I bought an adaptable plug-in bar and bought this keyboard, I’m a writer and I wore the letters off my old one. I’ll probably wear these keys out in time too, but the price makes it worthwhile. I like the touch and while the keys are high they don’t make any noise when I type. I hate keys flat to the surface because I type fast and flat keys and my fast fingers don’t always work well. My typing is fast and the keys keep up with me. It is installed easily and it’s lightweight. Due to back problems, I have to sit on a recliner with the keyboard on my lap and this works great with my set-up. I highly recommend this keyboard.

Nice keyboard but some keys failed to function at 14 months (warranty is 1 year). Had to replace it.

Overall I love this keyboard. Old fashioned style. Comfortable to use. One drawback is that there is no light to show when you have CAPS LOCK on. Almost a deal breaker.

Great Replacement For My Mac’s Keyboard!

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

I bought this to replace my Mac’s keyboard as the original keyboard was suffering from so much use LOL. This worked perfectly just as my previous one, no issues at all. It’s nice to have keys with letters and numbers showing on them again and no more sticking!

Works great, but…

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

What can I say. It’s a keyboard, just like any other keyboard, which is all I needed. The sound the keys make is kind of cheap and plastic-y, but I don’t care. The only drawback is that the actual letters, numbers and symbols on the keys aren’t as visible as I’d like, and look like they’ll wear off in short order. (Others have complained as such.)

My favorite keyboard

Second time I bought this keyboard. I wish they have this keyboard, the same key layout with a backlit. The only reason I like this one is because the FN button is at the top and not at the bottom left. Great price too!

Very good value for the money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2023

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

Much as I love the look of Apple keyboards, I’ve never found them particularly good to use. Might be down to me, because I never learned to touch type. Anyway, my keyboard met an unfortunate accident and while it was still just about usable, I needed a replacement in a hurry and I did not want a wireless keyboard.

For the price this is excellent, although time will tell how well it bears up to frequent, albeit not heavy, use. It suits my style – if I dare call it that – of typing much better than the Apple did.

I have two, minor, niggles: it is so light, I had to buy a mat to go under it to stop it sliding about on the desk, and there is no light on the CapsLock key. But at this price, those really are minor complaints.

Excellent keyboard

Great keyboard for Mac OS, it even works on an old 10.4 machine, although I have not tested it fully. The most basic functions work on 10.4 and 10.5. Not keen on the smaller enter key, but I have got used to it now.

I broke the spacebar on day 1.

Reviewed in Canada on October 21, 2022

Color: whiteVerified Purchase

That’s correct I dropped it within an hour of staring to use it and hitting the floor the spacebar would no longer engage. So I popped off the spacebar key and replaced it with the right command key and here we are three months later typing away. It’s an inexpensive keyboard for my decrepit MacBook Pro.
