Macally Wireless Keyboard, 2.4G Wireless White Keyboard - Ergonomic Full Size Computer Keyboard with Numeric Keypad for Laptop, Desktop, Surface, Chromebook, Notebook

For under twenty bucks this is about the best I've seen in it's class. Is it perfect? No.and I'll point out the imperfections as well as the high points. Fortunately none of the imperfections are deal breakers so if you are impatient and don't want to read this entire review just stop here and go ahead and hit the buy button.COMPARED TOOkay I'm not an entry level user, let's get that out of the way right away. I am a career photographer and graphic designer and practically live in front of a keyboard when I'm not out shooting pictures. I use a high end workstation at home and I am also a writer so the feel of a keyboard is extremely important to me. I'm going to be making an unfair comparison here, my everyday keyboard is that iconic (and impossible to find used) Logitech K-740. It has been called the best keyboard ever. So I've got my house up for sale and there is a tremendous turmoil around home, but my work can't stop so I have had to reduce my workstation down to a 50" wide glass desk, which I bought simply because my realtor told me it looks nice when he shows my home to clients. I dragged my pretty curved white monitor from storage just because it looks pretty. And I feared something happening to my now very rare and precious keyboard with people in and out of the house so I decided to pack it away and get something cheap. I never expected it to even be remotely acceptable, I got it just because it's white and looks good on my glass desk.SURPRISEWhen I opened it I was surprised that even though it's fairly lightweight it doesn't slide around thanks to excellent rubber feet. Being wireless I now have more flexibility with my reduced workspace than I had before. This is a fullsize keyboard with full-size and full-travel keys. If that doesn't mean anything to you, it means this does not have the flat membrane keys that barely move. This are very tactile, you know by feel that you have pressed a key. Most low price keyboards have flat keys, this one borrows a premium feature from some of the best in that the keys are cupped deep enough that when you lightly lay your fingers on the keys you know they are centered on each key, which adds tremendously to typing accuracy, and because the layout is completely standard they is no learning curve, I was typing even faster than I was on my prized Logitech, with fewer errors. And while most full-travel keys I've tried have some sort of click, these are as silent as the best I've ever heard. With one exception, that I'll mention below.WHAT ELSE I LIKESetup was instant. I plugged in the RF dongle, pulled on the battery protection tab (a battery comes preinstalled and thankfully it is a standard AAA size). That's it. The Num Lock was already set with a blue status light, which incidentally let's me know the keyboard is powered on. There is also a blue status light for the Caps Lock. Surprisingly though, at this low price point, there is also an easy to read on-screen status indicator for both of those and you don't have to download any large intrusive drivers to get it. After an hour or so now of typing there is no finger fatigue at all.THE DOWNSIDESNot everything is perfect. Here I have a few minor requests that would improve this otherwise fine product. One is I wish it had a power switch. It DOES power off when you turn your computer off and the good news is if not used for a while it automatically goes to sleep and turns itself on in a split-second as soo as I touch any key. Related to that, is it really necessary to have the Num Lock light stay on? I never shut that feature off and having it on must use some battery power. Next is an unusual one - as I type the heel of my left hand naturally falls ever so lightly on the Ctrl key and when that happens and I press some other key in combination some totally unexpected result happens. In other words the large Ctrl key is too close to the bottom left corner. Yes I know it has to be there, it's just that there is no wrist pad and the key itself is very close to the corner. And finally, and maybe I just got a bad one, all of the keys are silent except for the Space Bar which of course is used non-stop in normal typing. It has a click to it as it bottoms out that isn't annoying, but does destroy an otherwise virtually silent operation.YES NO MAYBEI don't look at the keys while I type but psychologically I find it easier to type on a white keyboard and if I do have to look the lettering on this one is excellent, not too bold, not to fine, though not illuminated they are fairly easy to see under dim lighting. Other than that, I expected this to be a throwaway after I move but no, I think I will keep it and save my classic for special occasions. This is a surprisingly well made and excellent feeling keyboard.

Most everything that I expected when buying a wireless keyboard. It worked immediately after taking it out of the package.

Excellent alternative to replacing your keyboard because the letters have faded. Makes typing even more enjoyable then tapping hard plastic. Cheers!

Connects automatically. Wish I had purchased one without the side numbered key pad as I do not use it and makes it difficult to center the keyboard for typing purposes

I like the feel of the keys. Nice price.

Love this keyboard. It really is silent, very comfortable to use.

Works great.

Easy to set up. I like the size and how the buttons feel. I’m waiting to hear back from tech support on why the 10 key side stopped working after just a few uses.
