Let me tell you, I've been around the block with keyboards, and the Macally Ultra-Slim USB Wired Keyboard is a real gem, especially if you're rolling with an Apple Mac-Mini Pro. First off, the build quality is solid. It's got that no-nonsense, dependable feel that takes me back to the good old days when products were built to last. The keys have a tactile response that's just right, not too clicky, not too mushy – perfect for extended typing sessions. Now, the number keypad is a game-changer. It's not often you find a compact keyboard that offers this feature. For those of us who crunch numbers or work with spreadsheets, this is a real blessing. It's like having the best of both worlds – a streamlined keyboard and the convenience of a full-sized layout. The USB wired connection is a reliable choice, and there's no need to worry about batteries or connectivity issues. Plug it in, and you're good to go. Plus, it's Mac-compatible, so it syncs seamlessly with your system, just the way you'd expect. In a world of flashy, overpriced tech accessories, the Macally Ultra-Slim USB Wired Keyboard stands out as a practical and affordable choice. It's a real workhorse, and it gets the job done without any fuss. So, if you appreciate simplicity, reliability, and functionality, this keyboard is a timeless addition to your classic Mac-Mini Pro setup. Read more
Works great, looks great. Quality product. Read more
Good keyboard. My only gripe is that they put the all-caps light at the top of the board, rather than IN the caps lock key. Since I forget to look at the screen as I type, I forget that my caps are on, and have to retype. But that's a pretty minor gripe. It's way better than the clunky old one I was using before!

I am very pleased with this keyboard. The CTRL key quit working on my mac keyboard. I purchased a magic keyboard for 3X the price only to find that it is not compatible with my IMac. I am so happy to find this one for a fraction of the price and it works beautifully by simply plugging it in. No setup required. The Function keys work beautifully and there's even a copy/paste key, which is super helpful. Very happy with this product. Read more
When my original Mac keyboard broke, I needed one on short notice. So far, this one has been working seamlessly, though the quality isn’t exactly what the original Apple keyboard was. But then again, does that really matter? Read more
This keyboard is still working after 10 months of use. However, the letters on the keys are wearing off on the A-S-D-F keys, probably because they are the most used keys. Also, the little protrusions/bumps on the F and J keys are wearing down, so it is often hard to situate my hands without looking at the keys. When those protrusions/bumps are finally worn down, this keyboard will be less useful. I am actively looking for a replacement USB wired keyboard for mac. Read more
This is a good keyboard if you're looking for a low price and don't mind that it doesn't have touch id. The touch id on my much more expensive Apple keyboard didn't always work, so it's no great loss. I like the number pad, which makes it much easier to type long numbers. The only downside is that I have not yet been able to find a keyboard cover that fits. It appears that Macally doesn't make covers for their keyboards. Read more
PS since I modified my review I’ve gotten nothing but runaround from these people. I have to check my product manager I have to check with this one I have to check with that one. Then I asked for a tracking number and exactly what it is if they’re sending and gets told to wait for an email follow up.. That’s not an answer or response that’s a bunch of BS from an irresponsible company that obviously cannot support their products and doesn’t care about the customer. I'm leaving my original review below, but providing an update: A few weeks ago, it started not showing the caps light (come to think of it, th3 others never came on but I digress,) and the number pad was non-op. I wrote them, they gave me an elaborate software fix, but it wasn't necessary... (I tend to think there's a short somewhere.). The number pad came back on of its own accord... intermittently. I wrote them asking for replacement. Took forever to get reply, then a song and dance, try this, try that, which OS , etc. Well it WAS on my very upgraded Cheese Grater, now on a M1 doing EXACTLY the same things, so ... Finally get another reply, more excuses, then I'll. have to forward this to my product manager, who will send a follow up. (Follow up??? How about a f-ing replacement? It's $40 bucks new!). Still nothing. So here's the deal, Macally: You refund my money, I toss this in a recycle bin, and go buy a real keyboard, and return the review to the original, since you were eventually honorable. Give me any more run around and you'll find you've got a very aggravated tiger by the tail. I don't have time enough as it is, and this writer's pen can wield a very sharp scalpel. I imagine that will be lost on you as well... but you get the drift. REFUND MY MONEY. I don't want another anymore. It'd be a stall too. I'll buy from Logitech (never got a hassle from them when purchases had issues) or Apple rather than tolerate this pathetic excuse for customer service again. The original review was as follows: Very mediocre but less expensive than Apple I was expecting and hoping for more and better from this company. Read more
