Macally Ultra Slim Reviews
Good keyboard, lays a bit flat
This is not quite as good as Apple's but it is cheaper. There are no pop out feet in the back so it sits very flat on the table. There are two things that throw me. One is that it has a power light, which stays on. I keep thinking that the caps lock is engaged, but that is represented by a second light. Also, this has a function key at the bottom left. I am used to three keys there, not four, so I keep accidentally triggering the brush selection pallet in Photoshop instead of hitting the option key. One thing that I guess is better is that unlike the Apple board, the characters on the keys have a slight reflective halo around the letters (which I assume is a clear protective overprint), which actually makes them easier to make out when using the keyboard at a low angle. This is unintentional, but it works.
Didn't last long
Nice design: keyboard failed after one day of usage, losing register on about 8 keys in the middle of the board. Not very durable. Also had intermittent outages out of the box; keys would not register, then would after disconnect/reconnect, but only briefly.
