Function Keys On Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 5000

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.

Life is easier with this wireless keyboard especially with the numeric keyboard function.

Bought this to use with a Mac--first time user switching from PC. Plug and play with the new Monterey iOS. This keyboard is solid and stays where you place it, clicky keys are not too noisy, nice spacing between keys, nice contours of key caps, nice having the sound volume control wheel, and the display bright and dimming function keys. This keyboard has two USB A hubs built into the back side. For now, I've plugged in a new Logitech corded M500s mouse also from BH Photo. So, I do not have to recharge keyboard or mouse--both are corded and work fine for me. Great typing experience on this keyboard and boosts productivity. I do have an Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse. Might use them on occasion, but Das Keyboard for Mac will be my first choice. So glad they make this product. There is also a third-party app that I can load, recommended by Das Keyboard, to tweak other function keys. I am fine as is.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have used a microsoft surface keyboard for the past decade or so, but the keys are starting to wear off and since I got a new Lenovo IdeaPad I figured I'd try this keyboard combo too. I am pleasantly surprised by the premium quality, how quiet the keys are, and how quickly I was able to transition to it. So far, so good, and I'm pretty set in my ways.

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.

The Apple Magic Wireless Keyboard w/ Numeric Keypad is one of the best keyboards I have owned. It is very slim and feels reminiscent of the MacBook Pro I used to own. I love having the numeric keypad off to the side, as I use it a lot. Battery life is amazing. When I first got this one, I had forgotten to turn it off at the end of the day and left it on for a few days straight.....only to find that it still has battery life left. It charges quickly, with the included cable, and syncs automatically without requiring you to go through the normal steps like you would bluetooth ear buds or something. The only thing I wish the keyboard had - that it doesn't have - is backlit keys. I'm sure there is an aftermarket option somewhere that would offer the backlit keys, but this one fit my budget and is a very solid keyboard.

I used to own a Kensington wireless mouse because I liked how it looked. But it had lousy wireless connectivity and it constantly dropped its signal for no apparent reason. Seeking to replace it, I came across the Microsoft mouse at my neighborhood consumer electronics retailer. I found this same mouse at B&H for $20 less. I love this mouse. It's got a stylish appearance, the wireless signal is rock solid...no more dropped connections and it tracks great. I also like how I can easily power it off to save battery life. The only drawback is that it requires its own USB antenna so when you're using Microsoft's equally stylish wireless keyboard, you're using up 2 USB ports: one for the mouse antenna and one for the keyboard antenna

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like this keyboard. Very solid feel to the keys. Function keys are used to access the different colour modes.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

Nice keyboard. It is heavy unlike other plastic keyboards. The keys are very responsive. I like that the shortcut keys on the function keys is active instead of having to do a series of actions to use these functions. I would recommend this to anyone. Nice light functions also.
