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

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!

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.

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 bought this keyboard to use in my home office. Since I mainly only use my office when I'm working from home, which isn't all that often, I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an Apple keyboard, but I did want an Apple-like keyboard so that the key positioning would match the genuine Apple keyboard I use at work.This keyboard works, but it is a little flaky sometimes. My biggest issue is that I type fairly fast, and often get double presses that I have to go back and correct. There are also some keys that are placed in non-standard places--namely that "home" key is where the "delete" key would normally be. As I use the delete key frequently in virtualized Windows environments, this poses a constant annoyance for me. Shift-Enter, which I use a lot as well, doesn't always work with this keyboard, so I have to remember to use Control-Enter instead. The function keys are also mapped differently than on a standard mac keyboard, but I rarely use them, so it's not a big deal to me (but might be to you).I haven't experienced any of the other complaints that others report--after two years, all of my keys are still clearly labelled and all of the keys are working, but then again, I only use this keyboard once or twice a week (and I think I may have the improved, laser etched version, that is supposed to resist label wear). Many people report that the Num-Lock light never lights, but this is because Mac's don't have a Num-Lock function--the numeric keypad works fine even with the light off. The keyboard is designed to work with both Mac's and Windows, so some of the labelled features don't work across both platforms--you just need to take some time to understand what works and what doesn't with respect to the machine you have it plugged into.All-in-all, it's a decent keyboard for light use on a Mac. If I were in the market for another keyboard I'm not sure I'd choose this one again and if my work-from-home habits changed significantly, I'd probably invest in a genuine Apple keyboard, but this one is meeting my needs pretty well for now, so I have no immediate plans to retire it.

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