Designed for Mac, the Ultra-Slim USB Wired Keyboard from Macally features a 110-key US English layout that includes a 10-key numeric keypad and 20 Apple shortcut keys. Also featured are two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, which may be used to connect and charge other devices. Connectivity with your host system is achieved using a plug-and-play USB Type-A cable.
The choice between membrane, low-profile, and mechanical switches determines typing feel and noise. Consider ergonomics and layout sizes (full-size vs tenkeyless) based on desk space and numpad reliance. Available from $57.99.
Keyboards are passive peripherals with almost zero cost of ownership. Wireless models may require occasional battery replacements, but energy costs are negligible.
