Re: full keyboard for Mac

2016-02-18 Thread Caitlyn Furness 
Hi,
apple sells a full sized keyboard.  It’s wired, and I honestly can’t remember 
how much it cost since I got mine 6 years ago when I got my i mac.

There is no set up required and it works fine with vo.

hth,
Caitlyn

RE: full keyboard for Mac

2016-02-18 Thread Tony 
I just got the Apple full size keyboard wired for around $50 on Amazon. I also 
have the latest Apple Magic Blutooth keyboard, which does not have a numpad for 
around $100, which by the way is my favorite, but both are great.

Subject: full keyboard for Mac

Hello,

Can anyone suggest a good keyboard for my Mac with a num pad? Wired or wireless 
is fine, I prefer budget friendly  but I am open to ideas as long as it is easy 
to set up as a blind person and works well with all the voice Over key 
combinations. It also does not have to be apple brand. I actually have trouble 
pairing this apple blue tooth keyboard because I can’t tell if it’s in pairing 
mode or even on. I also hate constantly changing the batteries on this one, for 
some reason the batteries die quickly. I really miss having a num pad and would 
love to get a keyboard with a num pad because it’s much easier for me to type 
numbers quickly and accurately that way.

Thanks,
Christina

   The Apple USB full-sized keyboard works fine. I have two here I use with my 
Mac Mini and my iMac. I don’t recall the current price, but it’s not terrible.
