Ergonomic Keyboards Microsoft 5050 Mac

Pretty, and feels better than the mac keyboards.

I've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard (4000?) for years. I've found that I need to see the keys more often and thought the old keyboard quite large. While looking for low-vision keyboards I found this illuminated model. I thought I'd never adapt to or like a flat keyboard like this but I was so wrong. This is the best keyboard I've ever used. Easy strike, silent, and I can see the keys without bright room lighting -- even without my glasses! A full numbers layout, easy extra function keys, great configuration, easy setup, and a sophisticated appearance. Love it. Highly recommended for everyone at all skill levels.

The ergonomic, lighted keyboard is everything I have been looking for. For years I bought other forms of lighted keyboards. One just had lights under the key section but the keys themselves didn't light up. One lit all the spaces between the keys but nothing ever lit up each letter on the keys. None of the other lighted keyboards were ergonomically shaped. This board gives you varying intensity of the lights, three colors of lights, lights on and off switch and is ergonomically configured. Somebody really put some thought into this keyboard.

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.

After employing a Microsoft keyboard for some years it is very nice to have a keyboard designed for the Mac.� The Microsoft keyboard is also top rate, but because it is designed for a PC system the keys do not always match up with the Mac.� The Das Keyboard 4 Pro for Mac is an excellent tool I would not hesitate to purchase again.

I have been using both Microsoft and this mac keyboard. However while the keys on the surface keyboard are excellent. This keyboard is AMAZING! great for all day use strait out of the box. The magic here is in the keys them selves requiring very little to no force needed to trigger a key stroke. This keyboard is a pleasure to use and can see using this for years to come.

We use the MAC version of these keyboards at my job. Needed a Windows version for the Premiere Pro system we're using to work from home and this is great. Comfortable and responsive, and good layout of Premiere Pro function keys.

CM Quickfire Rapid is the ten keyless mechanical keyboard I could find that worked with Mac out of the box. All multimedia keys work with Mac. A lot of mechanical keyboards I researched had some sort of issue with Mac or required some software to be installed. The CM Quickfire rapid works right out of the box. The most you would have to do is update your modifier keys in OSX and switch your key caps for option/command. I own two of these keyboards now, one with blue and one with brown cherry mx keys. I used the blue version for over a year and wanted to get a quieter version for use at work. I tried adding o-rings to the blue keyboard and it greatly reduced the sound by preventing the keys from bottoming out. The main problem I had with this solution was that the click of the blue key switches is still very audible and the o-rings decreased the travel of the keys. Making it feel too short in my opinion. The brown key switch version is much quieter since there's no audible click. To prevent bottoming out, I removed the o-rings I put in the blue version and put them in the brown. Making the brown even quieter than it already was. Perfect for an office environment shared with other coworkers. The brown key switches are nice if you like the the blue keys, but need to do without the audible click. The brown keys have a noticeable bump when you press down on them. Cons: Lack of backlit keys. I don't have a need for the backlit keys, but would be a nice to have. All of the other ten keyless with backlit keys were about double the price of this one. No USB hub. While not needed, would be nice if it also had a USB hub like some of the other mechanical keyboards I researched.

This keyboard is the best! I still like wired connections and the keyboards for Mac Books are all wireless. I wanted something as close as possible, since that was what I was used to. This Satechi is it! Very quiet, similar touch and feel. The first one I had worked very well for a couple of years, till I spilled my tea all over my desk a few weeks ago. I am so grateful this Satechi is still available and I could get a new one! And so grateful to the B&H salesman who suggested it in the first place!

I just bought a new Mac mini, and planned on using Apple's full-size Magic Keyboard 2. But once I tried it out, I was super disappointed—the keys were loud and had very little travel. I did some research and finally landed on this Logitech model. The travel in the keys is phenomenal, and I prefer it even to the older Apple keyboards. Pros: mappable keys (with the Logi Options app), multi-device switching, comfort and key travel, price Cons: the spacebar is six keys wide instead of five like on most keyboards, making it considerably louder than the other keys; the only “fn” key is under the “shift” key I would absolutely recommend this keyboard and plan on buying another if this one ever goes out.
