This highly durable, top-tier Das mechanical keyboard will satisfy all your click-clacky needs while still offering excellent performance and long-lasting, coat-protected keys. There are also great extra connections, including a two-port USB 3.0 hub for transferring files quickly.

Das offers dedicated MacOS keys for specific functions, and a lavish media control dial in the top corner for mastering your music. You can even remove the footbar and use it as a ruler (if you’re into that). There’s also a version with entirely blank keys, but that’s really only good for showing off.

Keychron claims its K2 mechanical keyboard combines the best elements of full-sized models and compact tenkeyless boards. Its space-saving design will keep things tidy on your desk, but it still manages to cram in a full row of function keys, as well as a few useful extras, like Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down. There’s even a dedicated button for switching the RGB lighting.

You can connect to three devices at once, and it works both wirelessly and wired using the bundled USB-C cable. There’s also a huge number of customization options, allowing you to choose the switch type, backlighting, and frame design before you buy.

Macally Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard

Most convenient iMac keyboard

Macally’s wireless keyboard is a great alternative if you want a slightly different design and more features.

Like Apple, Macally uses scissor flexors for its thin keys, but you may find the Macally to be more affordable. It can sync with up to three other devices.

This model provides 20 shortcut keys as additional preset keys. These presets include 16 Apple-specific commands, iTunes controls, and other useful abilities for working on an iMac.

The battery, rated for around three months on a single charge, takes around an hour to recharge via a USB cable.

The strip at the top of Logitech’s advanced keyboard will help you keep the battery charged. Basically, if you work by an open window or in a similar situation, you shouldn’t have to worry about charging the battery at all (otherwise, a full charge lasts about three months). The panel at the top right will show you how the solar charge process is going, too.

But solar power aside, this is a great, ultra-thin keyboard with Logitech’s concave key design. In addition to the numeric keypad, there is also a hotkey for automatically launching MacOS’s LaunchPad for fast commands.
