MacallyBacklit Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac (Upgraded, Bigger Battery) - Compatible Apple Keyboard Wireless - Multi-Device for MacBook Pro/Air, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini/Pro

** quick update to my review: I expected to write this update a few weeks ago, when they batteries finally ran out, so I could comment on how long they lasted. Then another week passed without them running out. Then another. AND ANOTHER. I've used this keyboard for well over a month now (closer to 6 weeks, actually) and FINALLY this morning the lights started flashing to let me know it needed a charge. I'm extremely impressed with the life on this! I'm not using it for 8+ hours every day, but I did use it for at least 1-2 hours most days. Absolutely recommend this keyboard, no hesitation.I've been using an older, full-size Apple "Magic Keyboard" for the last 5+ years, which has given me quite a bit of "muscle memory" when it comes to typing. When my old keyboard finally died, I went looking for a replacement that was full sized, wireless, had the apple keyboard layout, and wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. There's not actually all that many options that check all of those boxes, but I was fortunate enough to find this one.When it arrived, I tried absolutely everything I could think of to get it into pairing mode and just couldn't make it happen. I ended up reading through Macally's website and then calling their support department, and after walking through some troubleshooting with me they determined the bluetooth module was bad. Since I bought it on Amazon they said I could either return it here and order a new one, or process an RMA directly through them. The downside to doing it through them was that it "might take a bit longer to get to you" since they obviously don't have Amazon's logistics infrastructure, but they didn't require me to send it back to them either. I filled out a short RMA form via email, and a few days later my brand new keyboard arrived via UPS. I think it only ended up being one, maybe two days longer wait at most.Now, not only do I have a working keyboard again, they sent me the most recent model (USB-C charging instead of micro-usb) too! Pairing this new one took me all of 10 seconds, and it's been working great ever since.They keyboard doesn't feel "quite" as good as my old Apple keyboard, but the difference is negligible and absolutely not worth paying literally 3x more for. If my old keyboard was a 10, this is a solid 9.5. I'm entirely happy with it.I haven't used it long enough to comment on battery life or longevity yet, but given how easy it was to resolve a problem with them I'm not worried about either.I'd absolutely recommend this for anyone looking to replace a magic keyboard (or to avoid paying 3x the cost to buy one in the first place)!

Works as advertised. Easy setup. Very comfortable feel that is equal if not better than the apple version. Great value!

I have had a Macally keyboard before and liked it a lot. This model with backlighting and 10-key is truly amazing and the price is right. This is really a great keyboard!

Had this keyboard for a few days and I didn't like my experience. I have a MacBook Air and love the keys. I decided not to get a magic keyboard because they don’t have the backlit keys and I wanted that. Fast forward to my purchase, the battery life did not hold up well after being fully charged. The keys feel bulky, and need to be pressed down with some force. I ended up returning this and buying a Magic Keyboard. It may not have backlit keys but I’ll take quality, fluid key presses, and battery life over a Macally keyboard any day.

Love the feel of the keys and backlighting. It feels very comfortable to use. I was surprised about two minor issues. First, there was no little indicator light to tell me that the caps lock was on. It only is an irritant when typing in the opening password. It also takes a moment to warm up, so either I need to pause for about 2 seconds or the first few letters I type will need to be re-keyed. Still really love it.

I bought this keyboard largely because of its backlit keys. It's good looking, ergonomic, smooth key function. It's a great keyboard with one glaring problem -- the battery dies very quickly. Even though I've started keeping it connected to a charger and turn it off when I'm not using it, the battery does seem to last more than a few hours at most. In fact, this morning when I turned if on it was already dead and it took a while to charge enough to connect to my Mac. The battery is a huge disappointment to what would otherwise be a great keyboard.

Very good Keyboard for My MacBook. For the price it can’t be beat. I don’t use it all that much so the battery is just fine to me. It paired easily with my MacBook.

Exceptional and excellent functionality
