Digital camera reviews of Macally USB Slim Keyboard - ICEKEY
Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Have used this product for a couple months. It works fine. No problems so far. Nice touch sensitivity. Beware that some Macs require enclosed software driver for a few functions that are included on Mac keyboards.Digital camera Review: Good alternative
Summary: 4 Stars
September 2010 Update:
I initially purchased this keyboard as an alternative to the full-size keyed Apple keyboard (the one before the current slim aluminum one). However, I would probably be fine with using Apple's new slim one.
As for functionality, it's a great keyboard that feels pretty solid for being slim. My only gripe is that the driver to make the volume/eject buttons seems to make a few subtle things in OS X act odd (such as expand/collapse). Other than that, it's a great slim keyboard and cheaper alternative to Apples.
Digital camera Review: Good for a keyboard, but usb is not useful for today.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good keyboard. I bought it for my old powerbook G4 with OS 10.3 because I knew it would be compatible. It works great except for the USB ports- the ports just aren't powerful enough to run most of my newer USB peripherals, which leads me to think that the ports on this keyboard are either USB 1.0 or are just not drawing enough power from my main computer- So those looking for a usb keyboard specifically for more accessible or extra usb ports should go for a newer keyboard that specifically uses USB 2.0. That way you'll be able to run any of today's usb devices.Digital camera Review: Good quality, stiff keys, non-ergonomic
Summary: 3 Stars
The quality is good, but I don't like the USB hook-up. Needs curved shape to be ergonomic. Keys are stiff, but crisp. My wife also thought the keys would build up your finger muscles.Digital camera Review: Good replacement keyboard for MAC
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Apple aluminum keyboard for my Macbook. I found that I was constantly making mistakes and found it difficult to type on the keyboard. The keys did not feel right and my hands were frequently not aligning on the keys correctly. I also have a PC sharing a common monitor. So I ended up with two keyboards,switching back and forth when I changed computers.
I bought the Macally key board and have found it to be a much better feeling keyboard that has significantly reduced the errors when I type. It has a very solid feel making typing easy.
It has the second bonus that it also works with my PC, allowing me to automatically convert to the correct function keys depending on the computer, using the MAC command and control keys on my Macbook, as well as the Option keys with my PC. This is a quality product and the price is very reasonable at about $30 I would recommend it.
