 Excellent choice April 13, 2008

This keyboard has a very nice feel which was my most important feature. But one thing I don't like is that the USB ports are NOT USB 2 so you really don't want to use them for plugging in your camera or photo card reader. I plugged in my remote mouse and got a nice USB 2 hub from Apple store that gave me what I needed for my iMac.
 Mac owner - this is the best keyboard I've ever had March 26, 2008

I do a lot of writing, and I'm very careful to avoid carpal tunnel. The SECOND I whipped this puppy out of the box and gave it a test-drive, I felt relief. This is just the most comfortable, intuitive, easy-on-the hands keyboard I've ever had. I'm confident that as long as it holds up (I'm a very light-touch, fast typist), so will my wrist tendons, fingers and joints.
With two USB ports, it's almost second nature now to plug stuff in without digging around behind my iMac or scrambling for a free space in the USB hub.
It's a marriage of laptop-type scissor-action keys on a lightweight "regular" full-featured keyboard. (My iMac came with the new Apple wireless aluminum mini-keyboard, and I kid you not, the key placement is ever-so-slightly off-kilter. It totally threw me for a loop, and I was glad to scavange its batteries for my TV's remote control - hey, they're lithium double-A's, I'm not going to waste 'em), and if you're thinking about trying something that isn't made by Apple, I can assure you this baby is what you want.
Very pleased February 8, 2008

I work on a Mac G4, running OS X 10.3.9, and when some keys on my Apple keyboard started to stick I thought of getting the keyboard that ships with the Intel iMacs or MacPros. However, it turns out that that model only runs on OS X 10.4. I wasn't going to get the previous generation of Apple keyboard (giant lint tray with some keys drizzled on). The ICEKEYB was a wonderful, affordable alternative. It's got a very nice touch and sturdy build, as mentioned in other reviews. The accompanying USB cord is not ridiculously short either. I did have to download the newest driver from the Macally site in order to get the Eject and Volume keys working, but that took less than five minutes. The ICEKEYB is not as stylish as the newest Apple keyboard but it's attractive enough and, most importantly, functions well. Overall, a very nice deal.

I bought a white model back in February of this year and later bought a black model (July) for a backup, both from Amazon. Since I'm a typical "guy", I'm not much into color coordination. Anyway, to me, the black model is slightly better as I like the way the space bar feels better.
But trust me, both models are superb!!!
While the "touch" is "similar" to a laptop, it is just better. Short throw, but a very noticeable tactile feedback. Plus it has all the standard keys. Very rugged and solid, somewhat heavy, indicating good build quality.
Naturally, I dumped the standard Apple keyboard quickly after using these "pup's" for a while. The Apple KB's just get to sticky and grindy after a few weeks of heavy use. Their keys and receptacles are just plastic on/in plastic and eventually the wear is evident. YUCK!
The only keyboard I've found that comes close to this is the Mattias "Tactile Pro". And yes I had one. Great "feel", but unfortunately the case cracked and two keys "stuck" after about 4 months. Now that Mattias wants $150 for these guys, I would say no! Just get this MacAlly and don't look back. I doubt you will be disappointed.

I now own two of these. I am a programmer and these are a pleasure to use, they get even better as they break in. Excellent build quality, they feel solid as a rock.
