Wireless Keyboard with Numeric Keypad JOYACCESS 2.4G Slim and Compact Silent Wireless Keyboard(QWERTY UK layout) for Computer/Desktop/PC/Laptop/Surface/Smart TV and Windows 10/8/ 7 - Black+Gray

I am not keen on bluetooth keyboards and mice for my Mac. They are fine for an iPad for the occasional times you use them, but on the desktop they are quite frustrating. I prefer to have bluetooth turned off at all times on my Mac. Why? First of all there is a delay before the connect when you wake up your computer. Then there are always the odd connectivity problem. They can also, in the worst cases, cause lag, interference and performance issues. Let's face bluetooth is pants really when other solutions are available. Anyway, the solution on the keyboard front is to either go for wired keyboards (and mice) but the wire is a pain, of course. There is, however, another solution - the 2.4G USB Dongle equipped keyboard. This means all the advantages of being wireless but a much better connectivity and no lag/performance issues compared to Bluetooth. I already use a Logitech mouse with this feature and it is so much better than the previous Magic Mouse from Apple which used Bluetooth - I had no end of issues with that expensive piece of Jony Ive inspired glass and plastic. For Mac specific keyboards, there are not many with this USB 2.4G dongle feature, so one has to start searching for Windows keyboards, where some of the keys will be wrong and one of them will have a Windows symbol on it - how very un-Apple! This one though, has thoughtfully changed the Windows button to a Mac-style Command one. So whilst it still has a few keys in the wrong places for a Mac it is a lot more acceptable than all the other Windows keyboards and Windows users can, themselves, pretend they have a Mac. As Delboy says, "Everyone's a Winner". I also use an app (which I would recommend to every Mac user) call Better Touch Tool. Amongst other things this allows you to re-program keyboard shortcuts. 20 minutes work and this Windows keyboard is working 99.9% perfectly on my Mac - even the media keys work as I have programmed them to control Spotify and the Print Screen button is now programmed for screen capture - all good! So, what else: - Nice feel to the typing action - Not too rattly - Has a Caps Lock light - A good size (between a mini and full size keyboard) - Looks good in grey and black finish - Connection is instant and no drivers are needed (Mac) And the not so good points? Well, nothing really at this price (around £20). It is easily as good as the genuine Mac ones for build quality, in my view, and they cost 4-6 times the price and rely on the rubbishy old bluetooth protocol we are all told we must use for everything. Overall - ask excellent keyboard and one which I now use everyday. I can't comment on battery life yet, but with just 2, easily obtainable, AAs needed as and when, I cannot envisage it being an issue.

I bought this halfway through the pandemic, as I was used to the keyboard on my laptop and found switching to a normal size keyboard caused joint issues - mouse shoulder became more prominent. I've had this for some time now, and can say it is light, reliable and I really like it. Some keys are different but I find I can adapt easily, and it still has the separate number pad that I was looking for. Nearly 2 years later some of the keys are starting to stick, but I would still say it is good value.

In use now for almost 2 years Works well with no issues

I'm a long-time laptop gamer (yes..) so when switching to a PC build was looking to re-create that laptop feel and layout and this does the trick. Keys are buttery soft and also super quiet, the typing experience is very comfortable. The keys are slightly textured, so do not slip and also are not reflective. Battery life - have been using a month, haven't had to charge yet. No disconnections in the signal. Have not had a problem with keys not registering (playing games, you'd notice). My only 2 gripes: 1) build quality feels a bit flimsy - I worry about the longevity of the item, the ESC key for example has 'shifted' and it's stuck in a wonky position which means I can only register the keypress when pressing it from the upper right corner. 2) could do with a backlight option That being said, comfort is everything to me so I'll happily re-purchase if this one fails for any reason.

No idea what sheerness means. Was Fairly cheap, and keyboard is thin. Now I know what I was buying, a condensed keyboard. I didn’t think it would matter but it does, I should have Bought a full length normal sized keyboard (personal opinion, nothing to do with the product). If you touch type or are relatively quick then you will get what I mean. The keys aren’t where they should be as they are condensed. The thing that bothers me more then anything is the quality, it feels cheap. It feels like typing on a sheet of plastic that may break. The space bar is intermittent, it works like a dream then you have to bash it to make sure it works or all sentences run into one. If like me you will use it a lot, I recommend not getting this one. I’m persevering though.
