Hey guys.

What would you recommend as a good keyboard for the Mac that's not too expensive? By not too expensive I don't really want to spend more than $20-$25... I looked on new egg and hardly saw any that were mac compatible.

It doesn't have to be too fancy, but I would like the media buttons. I bought the Logitech Media Keyboard but I'm not sure all the buttons will really work.

Here it is:

Something like that that's mac compatible and around the same price would be perfect but I'm assuming this is a can't have your cake and eat it too, thing...🙁
 
look at the logitech S530 setup. It comes with a mouse and logitech has mac drivers for it.

I use one and it is great.
 
check out macally's mac icekey keyboard on amazon. it's about $22 and is modeled after the last mac keyboard.

The mouse and keyboard both look great but I just don't see myself wanting to spend that much extra.

I see two keyboards from MacAlly on amazon:
The ikey 5 slim as seen here:
http://www.macally.com/EN/Product/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=144

Is at a pretty good price on Amazon as well ~$17. I might have to pick that one up as it is pretty damn close to what I was looking for! Plus having 15 function buttons would be pretty nice. I could bind them to all sorts of fun things. Right now I have the 12 on the macbook, but this one has special buttons for volume and one of the Fkeys is num lock, so that means it essentially is giving me 7 more function keys. That'll be great!!!
 
^I have a Macally iKey Slim keyboard that I really enjoy using. I've even brought it with me to plug in to an HP at work.

The key board I bought came as a package deal with the Macally ECOMouse.
I cannot recommend this mouse. The action is nice, but the two grip inlays on either side of it started shedding glue and it became non-practical in a hurry.

Good thing the keyboard is sold separately.
