Best for Fans of Mechanical Switches: Macally Backlit Mechanical Keyboard for Mac.Best Mac Keyboard for Traditionalists: Logitech MX Keys Advanced.Best Mac Keyboard for Heavy Typists: Das Keyboard 4 Professional.Best Keyboard for Apple Purists: Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad.Best Compact Keyboard for Mac: Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac.Best Overall Keyboard for Mac: Logitech Craft keyboard.Most of the keyboards on our list don’t have quite the polished look and feel Apple products are known for, but the trade-off is that they are far more comfortable and fun to use. But if you’re already stuck with the smaller keyboard and looking to replace it or you’re just in the market for something different, there are many great keyboards from other companies that are compatible with Mac.

You do, at the time of purchase, have the option to upgrade to the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, which is nearly half a dozen inches longer. The keys on the stock Apple keyboard are shallow and uncomfortable to type on, and the keyboard is only about 11 inches long-about the same as the one on the 16-inch MacBook Pro laptop. The Apple Magic keyboard is sleek and nice-looking, but those are the only good things I can say about it. Your Mac deserves a better keyboard than the one Apple includes with your purchase, and I say that as a longtime fan of the company’s products.
