MacallyFull Size USB Wired Keyboard for Mac and PC - Plug & Play Wired Computer Keyboard - Compatible Apple Keyboard with 15 Shortcut Keys for Easy Controls & Navigation of Macbook Pro/Air, iMac

I've tried a couple of other keyboards that are not made by Apple and claim to work with a Mac. They always have problems. This one ACTUALLY WORKS! I plugged it in and the typing keys and number keys all worked perfectly. It comes with a prompt when my MAC found it as a new device, that asked me to do a couple of things (hold down the COMMAND key with a specified number key to make some of the functions work correctly). I have not had a single problem with it, and have removed it from my MAC to travel and then reconnected (not having to always put it in the same port) and it's worked flawlessly.I do like the feeling of typing where I have to actually push the keys down instead of a slight tap. I'm a touch typist and work on typing words most of the day. I'm not a gamer so cannot speak to that. My only complaint is that it is noisier than using a membrane keyboard. But the feedback to my typing is worth that little bit of noise. If there is someone in the room working alongside me, they might find it problematic. However, 99% of the time I am alone in my office. Good price, good value, and does everything I need.

Plugged it in and it worked right away. Only 'complaint' is that it feels much more flimsy than the original Apple keyboard. Other than that, can't beat the price!

Keyboard works well, good value. Keys are a bit clunky in comparison to other Apple keyboards but you get used to it.

Connect keyboard to Mac Mini and it works great. Key response is very good and easy to use.

Using this off-brand keyboard for a few days fixed the official name-brand keyboard. I know this is a ridiculous claim, but here's what happened:At work we have an iMac for secondary purposes (such as making sure stuff also works on iOS and watching Netflix). It doesn't get used much, but it is beyond its warranty. The $50+ official Macintosh keyboard that came with it one day suddenly stopped responding to presses of the spacebar. (Everything else still worked.) I removed, cleaned, and reattached the spacebar a few times, and also rebooted the machine several times, but the spacebar would not start working again. (Apparently spacebar failure is very common in official Macintosh keyboards.)For the sake of typing the space character, I hooked up a for-Windows PC USB keyboard that I bought at the second-hand thrift store for a whole dollar. I also reattached the original Mac keyboard for the usefulness of its extra buttons such as the volume controls. This was an acceptable arrangement for a while, but then the Mac spacebar started to get and remain "stuck," even after I fully removed the physical key. (The experienced effect was that web pages would scroll all the way down, because that's what typically happens when you hammer the spacebar when no input field has focus. Netflix playback also experienced seizures because the spacebar pauses and resumes videos.)I detached the fancy-pants aluminum keyboard because of its latest malfunction, leaving us with just the plain ol' PC keyboard. Again, this was a mostly acceptable solution, but we eventually decided we should get an operating-system-appropriate keyboard since the Windows key doesn't behave like the Quatrefoil key and the PC F[unction] keys don't do any of the extra stuff that the Mac F[unction] keys do, so we ordered this one for $20.After a few days of use, I was about to put away the old Mac keyboard when I thought of trying one more test: I went to keyboardtester-dot-com, plugged in the old keyboard and started mashing keys. To my surprise, the spacebar was working properly again!We put this new keyboard back in its box and we're holding on to it as an emergency backup, but unless the official Mac keyboard craps out again, we'll probably never ever use it again (for lack of need).By the way, this "Macally 103 Key Full-Size USB Keyboard with Short-Cut Keys for Mac" isn't really full-size; it's about an inch narrower than an actual "full-size" keyboard, which is achieved by smooshing the arrow keys and the six above between the main keys and the num pad, so its actually a "compact keyboard (with num pad)."The keys are comfortable to press, but one person said she kept getting confused by the compact arrangement of the arrows and the six above. I should knock a star off for this, but this product earns an extra 10 stars for A) having a functioning spacebar, B) fixing the other keyboard, and C) not being *incredibly* overpriced like everything else for Mac is.

I put this on my mac with no issues. Works great!

terrible - the command button on bottom left is so annoying. shift key and control key are so damn stiff / difficult to push - keys are so loud - i hate this damn keyboard.

Good parts of the keyboard:- $14 is quite a good price for a basic keyboard. At that price, it's fine that it's just a USB connection.- It does have Mac keys on it (albeit not in the right order anymore).- Fullsize num-pad- Normal size arrow keys (many mac keyboards will make Up/Down arrow keys only half height since vertical navigation is only half as important ;)).- It has media keys so you can control music right from the keyboard. Huge timesaver & a relatively hard feature to find on an entry-level Mac keyboard.The problems with this keyboard are:- The keys don't always fire an event, you really have to type hard (I'm already a hard typer so that's saying a lot). You will often have to hit a key twice (seems to mostly be the case with the function keys on top). This is fairly rare though, so it's not awful.- The caps-lock and num-lock lights do not light up. The caps-lock key actually works to toggle it, you just don't get to see the light. The num-lock button doesn't actually serve any purpose on this keyboard as far as I can tell because with the light off, the number-pad is supposed to work like arrows and that is not the case on this keyboard.- The whole reason to use a "Mac" keyboard is the different special keys... but if you look closely, they're not in the same order as a Macbook or "Magic Keyboard". I don't know if Apple has recently changed the order, but the current (2017) Macbook Pro and Magic Keyboard are: "fn", "control", "alt/option", "command" [SPACE BAR] "command", "alt/option". This keyboard is "control", "alt/option", "command [SPACE BAR] "command", "alt/option", "control", "fn" so this isn't that much closer than just a normal Windows keyboard (Windows key functions like "command").If the keys on the bottom were in the right order to match current Macbook/Magic-Keyboards, I'd overlook all of the other drawbacks in a heartbeat. The way it is, I get all of the drawbacks above and I don't get the benefit of the keys matching what I use at the office, so I'll keep looking for a different keyboard.Seriously disappointed... I wanted a cheap keyboard for a Macbook (this is almost as inexpensive as a basic Windows or Linux keyboard). While the USB connection needs an additional adapter to connect to the new USB-C ports on the Macbook Pro (thanks Apple ;)), that was manageable. Wish this could have worked. Thanks for the effort Macally!
