Good Lightweight Mac Keyboard

This wired keyboard is perfect for our iMac, because it has all the keys in the right place for Mac compatibility. It is so lightweight that it feels like it may break easily, but it is relatively solid.

Yes, it has a numeric keyboard on the right, in addition to the usual numbers across the top (below the function keys) exactly like the authentic iMac keyboard.

A big plus is the fact that the keyboard wire is about 56 1/2 inches long which provides more reach than the roughly 32 inch cord on the authentic keyboard that came with my iMac.

Although the entire keyboard isn't backlit, like the MacBook Pro keyboard, it does have a blue light for Power, Caps Lock, and Num Lock.

The only minus on this Macally keyboard is the fact that it has no usb port on it anywhere. My iMac keyboard came with 2 USB ports on the back. Of course one can get around the need for more ports by purchasing a USB hub.

Very good keyboard, BUT...

I wish there were some plastic tabs to raise the upper part of the keyboard just a little above the surface and, more importantly, I wish there were two extra USB ports like a normal USB Mac keyboard has. I didn't think to look for those in the description of the item, and I miss them. A lot.

It's my fault, since I didn't read the description carefully enough.

Excellent product!

I have purchased a couple of used Apple keyboards for my iMacs, as well as a couple of knock-off brands, in the past for my iMacs, all with limited satisfaction as issues have usually cropped up soon after being put into use... keys going bad, connection issues, battery usage, failed key function, etc.

This keyboard however functioned perfectly as soon as it was plugged in, and has been doing so flawlessly ever since. I do photography and use my iMacs for photo editing, so the keyboards get a lot of repetitive use, for multiple hours each day. This can put a LOT of wear and tear on certain keys / functions very fast. Thus far this keyboard has out-lasted an Apple board purchased around the same time, and has been doing double duty between two iMacs. Thus, I recently purchased another !

Macally plastic Mac USB keyboard is good value

This Macally keyboard is a cost-effective white, all-plastic replacement for my original iMac aluminum keyboard that failed. It has a longer USB cable than the iMac original and it cost about half of the original Apple. The plastic doesn't look or feel quite as elegant as Apple's, hence my 4-Star rating. BTW, it may also work on Windows PCs but mine had the iMac CMD key in the finger position preferred for the Windows CTRL key. The key actually labeled CONTROL was a few keys away. Regardless, each key has a soft touch and a little deeper key-stroke (travel) compared to the original iMac keyboard. It took very little time to feel natural to my touch typing. A good value.Read full review...

Good replacement for a Mac keyboard

This is a good replacement keyboard for the Mac. You do have to use an "fn" key if you want to use the functions, but that was an easy adjustment for me. The board feels a bit cheap and lightweight, but it has been working great. The keys also have a very light tough to them which makes my typing go faster. All around a decent product for the price.Read full review...

It works great, nice and light, easy key stroke action, but I only wish it had a USB port to plug my mouse into.

Macally White Full-Sized Mac USB Keyboard

I bought this durable hard plastic keyboard as a backup to temporarily replace a steel/metal keyboard because the space bar was sticking. This new keyboard does everything the metal one does and is pretty stable on the desk. Most of the functions keys are in the same position as the original Mac keyboard. I highly recommend this keyboard if you either need a new economical replacement or as a reliable backup.Read full review...

Keyboard works well on my iMac

Good product. My old Mac keyboard sticks - this new one solves that problem. Types more easily and accurately.

The Keyboard for people with vision issues

Plug and Play, even though it's meant for Mac, I use this on my Acer! Soft action and 500% easier to see than all those black keyboards! Even though it lays flat, it works well and it's smaller, so it saves desk space... Well worth the price!! My only complaint is, it cannot be lifted to a higher angle... but I'm getting used to the flatness, have no problems typing!!Read full review...

Works fine but you get what you pay for.

It is by far the cheapest Mac keyboard you can buy. It is thin, flimsy and with a cords that will eventually break. That being said, it is so much cheaper than a real Mac keyboard; that it is a good purchase until you can afford a real keyboard with the proper Mac layout and key assignment. Using a keyboard designed for Windows is awkward at best and leads to undesired results until you mentally fully get used to the reassigned keys. So for a few dollars (the you get what you pay for idea) for get a functional keyboard and when it wears you will eventually get a hopefully proper keyboard.Read full review...
