1. Logitech Easy-Switch K811
One of the most versatile Mac keyboards. It can sync with three different devices via Bluetooth channels, allowing you to connect it not only to your Mac, but also to an iPad, iPhone or Apple TV, for example. The keyboard was developed especially for the Mac, meaning its key mapping is the same as that of the Magic Keyboard, requiring no adaptation. It is the best alternative to the original Mac keyboard.
2. Penclic KB3
Penclic's keyboard is focused on reducing the risk of problems caused by continuous use, such as RSI (repetitive strain injury) or tendonitis. The ergonomic keyboard is lightweight and can easily be carried in addition to being wireless. However, it uses a Micro-USB port to connect instead of the standard Lightning port on Apple devices. This means that it can also be used on iPhone, Android devices, and Windows computers.
3. Microsoft Sculpt
Another ergonomic keyboard, Microsoft Sculpt has one of the most different designs among keyboards. Divided in half, it is designed to optimize your key range. The center of the keyboard is also curved upwards for even easier reach.
Microsoft Sculpt also features a padded front to relieve wrist strain and comes with a separate numeric keypad. Even though Apple's rival Sculpt has no Mac compatibility issues, it only has to adapt to different keys.
4. Lofree
An ideal keyboard for the nostalgic, the Lofree is a mechanical keyboard inspired by old typewriters. It is compatible not only with Mac, but can be used on iPhone, Android devices and also on PC. At the touch of a button, you can switch compatibility mode to the device you are using.
Its few setbacks are the key noise, which can be annoying if you work in an office with other people. It also takes some getting used to, as the keys are arranged in irregular shapes, with certain keys larger than the others. Weight is also an issue: The Lofree weighs 800g, while the standard Magic Keyboard is only 320g.
5. 1byone Bluetooth Folding Keyboard
Aiming at mobile devices, the 1byone Bluetooth folding keyboard also works on Mac computers and is one of the best compact keyboard options. Although compact, the folding keyboard is the standard size when deployed, not surprisingly compared to standard Mac keyboards. Besides Mac, it can also be used on PC and Android.
