 Completely love it January 30, 2010
D. J. Walters (Glendale, CA, USA)
Originally, I bought this keyboard for my 77-year-old dad. His vision is such that he had a hard time seeing the "gray" type on the white keys of the original Mac keyboard.
I bought this one specifically because it was black with white letters.
I like the keyboard so much, I bought TWO MORE of them for myself. I have one at my desk at work, one at my desk at home.
Now, people who walk into my office want one, so now I'm buying a FOURTH one, as a present to a nice lady in the office :-)
 Awesome August 31, 2009

This is a really great keyboard. This keyboard is definitely geared towards Macs but I'm using a Windows computer and it works almost perfect. The only thing that doesn't work is the volume controls which is no big deal for me since I have controls on the speakers.
This is one nice keyboard! June 4, 2009

I just recently purchased this keyboard from Amazon and after having used it for a few days, I felt compelled to write a review on it, I normally don't write product reviews.
I am a webmaster, so I spend a lot of hours everyday typing on my keyboard and since the keys on this keyboard are just like a laptop keyboard, I can type so much faster and efficiently.
I should also point out that I am using this keyboard with Windows Vista, even though it is suppose to be a Mac keyboard. It installed flawlessly and did not even require the driver disk.
I also like the fact that the keyboard has USB ports on either side so I could plug in my mouse and whatever else might be needed. The only thing I miss from my other keyboard is having a back and forward button for going between pages, but loosing that feature is worth the trade off.
I would definitely buy this keyboard again, but some how I don't think this one will break for awhile because it feels so solid when you type on it.
The best feeling Mac keyboard yet! May 22, 2009

This is big step up from the keyboard included with my G5, which originally I liked okay. But once I got my MacBook Pro in 2007, I realized how much nicer scissor-switch keys feel. This MacAlly IceKeyB is the perfect keyboard for a desktop Mac (or docked laptop).
Make sure you put the driver CD in the computer before swapping keyboards, because the volume and eject keys don't work until you've installed the drivers. Driver installation was quick and easy.
I'm pretty sure this keyboard is manufactured by Precision Squared, based on its layout and feel (I also have a PSK-5700 for my PC):

What's really strange is that my PSK-5700 volume keys worked in OS X without any drivers, while this Mac keyboard requires driver installation to make the media keys work. (Then again, I tried the PSK-5700 on a 10.5 MacBook Pro, while my IceKeyB is connected to a 10.4 G5.)
Pros:
* Scissor-switch keys feel great!
* Full-size keyboard with perfect Mac key layout.
* Very slim and looks sleek.
* One of the few Mac-layout keyboards that's available in black.
Cons:
* Requires driver installation to activate volume/eject keys.
* Caps-lock indicator light is not on the caps-lock key.
* Side-ports are USB 1.1.
* Extra key next to right control isn't usable.
I know I listed as many Cons as Pros, but all of those Cons are very minuscule. For example, if all you plug into the keyboard is a mouse, USB 1.1 is sufficient. I highly recommend this keyboard.
Works great! April 21, 2009

It works great. Tougher to type on in low light situations than I thought. It works great, though sometimes I accidentally hit the CAPS-LOCK key and don't notice it for a few minutes, but otherwise it's a great inexpensive replacement for that Apple crumb-catcher white keyboard.
