One of the very few mac dedicated black keyboards produced, the Macally Icekey is good quality for a good price. The slim design gives a full extended keyboard without taking up much room. from Buy.com The keyboard looks great and works well. I have been searching a long time for a black usb mac keyboard and this is it. You'll need the driver to use the extra Apple style volume and eject keys, but that was no issue here, the driver runs fine on os 10.5 Overall a great keyboard for a great price. from Buy.com I should also point out that I am using this keyboard with Windows Vista, even though it is suppose to be a Mac keyboard. It installed flawlessly and did not even require the driver disk. I also like the fact that the keyboard has USB ports on either side so I could plug in my mouse and whatever else might be needed. The only thing I miss from my other keyboard is having a back and forward button for going between pages, but loosing that feature is worth the trade off. from Amazon.com This is big step up from the keyboard included with my G5, which originally I liked okay. But once I got my MacBook Pro in 2007, I realized how much nicer scissor-switch keys feel. This MacAlly IceKeyB is the perfect keyboard for a desktop Mac (or docked laptop). Make sure you put the driver CD in the computer before swapping keyboards, because the volume and eject keys don't work until you've installed the drivers. from Amazon.com My BenQ low profile A800 broke and got very difficult to find the right replacement. Those clunky Microsoft and Logitech, sorry absolutely no wireless, just don't do it. Finally, found this Macally and felt right from the first touch. Bought 2 and love it. from Amazon.com If you are looking for an alternative to the Apple keyboard then this keyboard will not disappoint. I do favor the Apple aluminum keyboard over this one but due to a compatibility problem I am unable to use the Apple keyboard. Unless you must have a black keyboard I recommend you get the white version of this keyboard and save about $9. from Amazon.com I bought this as a replacement for the aluminum keyboard that came with my new imac. The Macally is definitely easier to type on and better matches my imac's black trim. Keys are a bit stiff but I think I'll be able to adjust in short order. from Amazon.com This keyboard has a very nice feel which was my most important feature. But one thing I don't like is that the USB ports are NOT USB 2 so you really don't want to use them for plugging in your camera or photo card reader. I plugged in my remote mouse and got a nice USB 2 hub from Apple store that gave me what I needed for my iMac. from Amazon.com This is just the most comfortable, intuitive, easy-on-the hands keyboard I've ever had. I'm confident that as long as it holds up (I'm a very light-touch, fast typist), so will my wrist tendons, fingers and joints. With two USB ports, it's almost second nature now to plug stuff in without digging around behind my iMac or scrambling for a free space in the USB hub. It's a marriage of laptop-type scissor-action keys on a lightweight "regular" full-featured keyboard. from Amazon.com However, it turns out that that model only runs on OS X 10.4. I wasn't going to get the previous generation of Apple keyboard (giant lint tray with some keys drizzled on). The ICEKEYB was a wonderful, affordable alternative. It's got a very nice touch and sturdy build, as mentioned in other reviews. from Amazon.com
