 Going out of style October 28, 2008
When I got the Macally ICEkey keyboard, I thought it was great. Sure it's a little bigger than Apple's aluminum keyboards, but the keys are very responsive and the size issue was worth the savings. Not so sure now... turns out Macally won't be issuing any drivers to make the volume keys (and other features) work with Intel Macs. Kinda pointless if you're making keyboards designed only for the previous generation of Macs... Still, it does work fine. I just hope it doesn't discolor like my old iBook G4 did.
Love the keyboard touch, but..... October 2, 2008
While I think thi i a great keyboard, if you have young children, think twice. As you can tell, I'm kipping letters. That's becaue my 22 month old daughter was able to POP the keys off and break some of them. I've got 5 kids and have gone through a lot of keyboards for one reason or another, but never becuae the keys have been popped off and broken in the process. My s key especially is bad as the entire stem broke and I ave to stick my finger nail or a slim object into the spot where the key should be. Also, even though we installed the driver, the sound keys do not work. Obviously something is not quite right here... Bottomline: if you don't need to control the sound with the keyboard and do not have young children or sensory seeking children, overly curious children, etc., this keyboard will work well for you.
Strangely flawed keyboard September 17, 2008

I bought this keyboard because my Mac and PC friends said it had superior tactile feedback, and it does. However...
I was shocked to get a keyboard that didn't work properly with OS/X Leopard. The volume control keys didn't work at all, and suddenly I had to double-click a lot of screen controls on other apps that previously worked with a single click.
So I Googled it, and found there was a newer driver for Leopard that fixed MOST of the problems. I downloaded and installed it, and sure enough it did fix most of the problems. Now the volume keys work, but oddly the mouse still sometimes requires two clicks in other apps (like closing a tab in Firefox) where before it required just one.
As others have pointed out, there was zero documentation in the box. I suspect the average computer user, who wouldn't know enough to search for a newer driver, would be pretty disappointed with this keyboard.
It was fairly cheap at $30, and does have nicer key feel than the slimline keyboard that came with my 23" iMac, though it takes up a bit more desk space.

This is the MacAlly Apple keyboard. I accidentally spilled coffee on my company's keyboard, so it was incumbent upon me to buy one for them. So, online I went, and found this keyboard. Everyone in my office is jealous! The feel, the look, the performance: it's all here.
