Hspice stateye. Has anyone tried the new Kanex Multi-Sync Keyboard (BTKey)? Besides the MacAlly BTKey, this seems to be the only full-size Bluetooth keyboard I can find. It looks nice except for one thing: the search and iOS home buttons are way too big, especially on the left side, pushing the modifier keys much farther over than they should be. The Kanex premium slim keyboard has all the qualities you’ve been looking for in a wireless Mac keyboard. Premium features include adjustable backlit keys, a rechargeable battery and the ability to connect up to 4 devices. This compact keyboard includes Mac shortcut keys.

Kanex's MultiSync Aluminum Mac Keyboard ($99.95)looks the part, while offering more functionality than Apple's Magic Keyboard.

The canadian regime ebook. The Canadian Regime is a clear, concise, and accessible resource that thoroughly covers the complexities of Canadian political institutions, making it an invaluable resource for students and instructors alike. Lucid and comprehensive, The Canadian Regime. Provides a unique analysis of Canada’s political regime by challenging readers to think of the political system as an organic entity where change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system. The book’s focus on the inner logic of parliamentary government explains the rationale for Canada’s relatively complex political system. Now in its sixth edition, The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible introduction to the institutions, processes, and principles of the Canadian political system. The book's focus on the inner logic of parliamentary government explains the rationale for Canada's relatively complex political system, which the authors encourage readers to think of as an organic entity, where change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system.

Kanex's keyboard sports a brushed aluminum finish with black keys like the Macbook. Apart from looking great, the black keys should be less susceptible to the grime that inevitably builds up on Apple's white keys.

Set up of this Bluetooth 3.0-sporting keyboard is painless and typical of any Bluetooth device. The kicker here is that the keyboard can pair with up to four separate devices. So if you have a Mac, iPhone, iPad, and maybe a laptop paired with an external display, switching between devices is as simple as pressing one of four quick-switch keys above the full-sized numeric keypad. Unfortunately, despite how advanced this keyboard is, it lacks a rechargeable battery—meaning if the two AAA batteries used to power the keyboard bite the dust, you're out of luck unless you have some extras on hand.

Typing on Kanex's keyboard feels, to me, marginally better than Apple's keyboard. It sits at a comfortable angle. There is a small but noticeable increase in key travel, while the keys themselves are a little more 'clicky' than Apple's. Keys are spaced out well and sized slightly larger than Apple's, which makes using it feel less cramped than using Apple's keyboards. In addition to having the same function keys that you would find on an Apple keyboard, Kanex's offering provides a few iOS-specific functions like Home and Search. Touching back on the full-sized numeric keypad; it's a pleasure to have. Doing any serious number input with Apple's top-row numeric keys is such a hassle and the inclusion of the numeric keypad is more than welcome.

Mac Keyboard Kanex For Mac

Pros:

  • Looks like an Apple product
  • Black keys
  • Easy to setup
  • Quick-switching between devices is simple
  • Comfortable to use

Cons:

  • No built-in battery

Final Verdict

Kanex's MultiSync Aluminum Mac Keyboard is an elegant, useful alternative to Apple's offerings, but lacks built-in power options.
