Great value, works well, strange power issues.
This combo is great! I bought this for an old iMac 8,1 C2D as modern BT replacements are not usually backwards compatible with 2000s era BT. The keyboard features a USB-A and a USB-C slot for accessories. The A will likely be consumed by the mouse to reserve space and power on the ports on the Mac. For an older computer, this leaves a low-power USB-C port on the keyboard connected to USB 2.0 on the iMac. I have noticed limits to the power output of ALL the USB ports with this keyboard and mouse attached. The USB-C on the keyboard is understandably only powerful enough to drive the simplest devices, or self-powered ones. The keyboard also seems to sap power from the other ports somehow as well because with it connected, my iMac is unable to output enough to an external 2.5” HDD to mount the drive. This is not a deal breaker for me, as the solution is to power a drive externally, but it should be noted that the power draw of this keyboard may not be appropriate for older computers with multiple peripherals and limited USB function.
