Digital camera reviews of Macally USB Slim Keyboard - ICEKEY
Digital camera Review: Better than previous gen Apple keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
My old white Apple keyboard broke and I wanted a cheap Mac-specific alternative to the aluminum keyboard. The Macally keyboard fits that criteria and works great. The keys are responsive and require less effort to type compared to the Apple model. Also comes with a 3 year warranty, although I doubt Macally's customer service will be as good as Apple's.
Good: Cheaper than Apple or Logitech's Mac keyboards. Keys allow for fast typing.
Bad: Unsure about Macally's tech support in future. Power light stays on even if computer goes to sleep. Media keys not plug and play (requires restart after driver installation.)
Digital camera Review: Better than the original
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best, most elegant, reliable keyboard ever.
I love it's dependability and most important, the "feel"
Excellent for those who must spend many hours typing.
I like it far better than the Mac keyboard that came
with my iMac and that's saying a lot. Plus you
cannot beat the price.
Digital camera Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, after purchasing and returning 2 other keyboards in the past week, I've finally found an excellent piece of hardware to go with my iMac.
Here is a quick summary for those looking feverishly for a fantastic keyboard:
[PROS]
1. Fantastic style (especially for those looking to compliment their Apple computer - iMac et al)
2. Slim design that's very ergonomic - typing is comfortable and "snappy"
3. The scissor-key switch design is brilliant - typing is swift, and little pressure is needed. Tactile feel is also excellent, and I'm rather picky.
4. 2 additional USB ports.
5. Mac-oriented layout of the keys.
[CONS]
1. Although pretty negligible, the USB ports would be better oriented if they were located at the back of the keyboard, rather than the ends - if you happen to use your mouse close to the keyboard on either side, you may have some interference with anything that happens to be plugged in.
2. It's nice and white, so you'll notice dirt collecting more so than on a dark keyboard. One little trick to keep this to a minimum: keep a bottle of Purell (the hand wash that evaporates) next to your machine, and use it before you sit down for a session - works great for me!
Overall, I love the keyboard, although it took me three attempts to find the "perfect" one, I'm completely satisfied with it and would highly recommend it (especially to anyone who happens to own an iMac G5).
Enjoy!
Digital camera Review: Buy This Immediately
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the greatest keyboard ever made, and quite possibly the greatest creation in all of human history. (Yes, it's that good). The action is suberb, the key size and texture is perfect, and your fingers dance and glide over the keys like hippos doing ballet. My typing speed practically doubled overnight. Its look is futuristic yet subdued, and unlike a lot of third party keyboards, there aren't a bunch of junk buttons and extraneous labeling smattered all over the keys. You have to try it to really see how wonderful it is. It may not be wireless (yet), but it's worth another cable to have this, the keyboard of the gods.Digital camera Review: Can't beat the price for mac compatible
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my folks who upgraded to a Mac Mini.
I wanted super easy install and use and my mom just loves it.
Great 'feel', quick and easy install, totally compatible with their computer.
Plug in to the usb port, you're done; install complete and you get to play 'computer genius'.
Plus, trim and slick looking - great overall value!
