Macally Mac Mechanical Keyboard

I've been using a MacAlly keyboard for a few years but recently switched to PC so no longer needed the same keys. Then the MacAlly started having major issues. I use an older version of the KM5221W keyboard at work and I've replaced the battery once in 4 years, so It seemed like a good option for the home office. As a bonus, I got rid of a dongle as the mouse uses the same one as the keyboard. It's nothing special, but works as expected and the price was right. Happy with the purchase!

I have been using macs for a long time. I used to love genuine Apple keyboards, but their latest designs just don't have the feel that I enjoy. I have tried Logitech, which seem better. I have also used other Macally keyboards in the past, yet haven't found one that was right for me until now. This new Macally keyboard seems perfect for me. I love the feel of the keys and the overall solid feel of the keyboard.

It gives you the nice, clean feeling of a mechanical keyboard, but it's silent!!

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

Great mechanical keyboard. Love the preset lighting options.

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.
