USA Matias Tactile Pro for Mac - FK302-US

Legendary Feel & Speed of Alps mechanical keyswitches.
Mac users who crave the feel of Apple's legendary Extended keyboard will love the Tactile Pro. Unlike other keyboards made today, each key is built on an individual Alps Mechanical Switch. They feel better, and you'll type faster.

Version 4 - Mac-friendly function keys.
This the latest Tactile Pro model brings tighter integration with Mac OS X. Just like an Apple keyboard, the Tactile Pro’s function keys now let you control screen brightness, volume, iTunes, and more.
There's even an Fn key, that lets you momentarily change the function keys back to their traditional duties, when you need them.

™ € £ ¥ © are easy to find.
The Tactile Pro makes it easy to find ™ € £ ¥ © and other hard to remember symbols - they're all printed right on the keys. Simply hold down the Option key for the bottom-right characters, or Shift-Option for the top-right characters.

Laser etched keys.
All those symbols are handy, but what happens when they wear off? They won't. They're laser etched - burned into the keys with a laser - so they'll never wear off.

Sculpted keytops.
The latest trend in keyboards is to have very flat & wide keys, with little or no space between them. You see this a lot on laptops and netbooks. While they look great, they can also be a little tricky to type on. The flatness makes it very easy to slide out of home row and lose your bearings.
The Tactile Pro bucks this trend. It has traditional sculpted keytops, curved to fit your fingertips, and keep you from sliding out of home position.

3-port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub.
For quickly attaching USB peripherals, nothing beats the convenience of an in-keyboard USB hub. No more reaching through the tangle of wires behind your computer to download photos from your digital camera. Just plug it into the keyboard and you're ready to go. Works great with MP3 players, keyring hard drives, joysticks, and mice too. It won't charge your iPod/iPhone, but for syncing it's perfect.

No ghost in this machine.
Most keyboards allow only a certain number of keys to be pressed at once, and often cannot keep up with very fast typists. The result is called ghosting - letters missing from what you actually typed, or additional letters that you didn't type.
The Tactile Pro has special Anti-Ghosting Circuitry (also called n-key rollover) to eliminate these problems. You can type as fast as you're able; the Tactile Pro will keep up.

Very solid and good quality keyboard. Definitively more noisy than my previous Matias Quiet Comfort Plus. The 3 USB ports are also very useful and practical.

The Matias Tactile Pro for Mac keyboard is such a joy to use. I've had mine for nearly five years, and it still functions as expected. The ALPS keys are very tactile and there is little doubt when a key press has registered. I have used it alongside an Apple Extended Keyboard and an Apple Extended Keyboard II, and while the switches feel a bit different to those (not least because of the age of the Apple keyboards), they're still similar in many ways to the feel of those classic keyboards. In fact, a few keys on the old AEK were sticky and I was able to replace them with Matias ALPS switches! Anyway, I highly recommend this keyboard - so much so, I actually purchased a second one as a backup in case their production is ever ended.

Best mechanical keyboard out there for Apple computers. Resembles the original Apple Extended Keyboard and has its spirit.

Great keyboard. Does what it says in the box. Clicky feeling is perfect and not too loud.

Happily typing away. Clickety-clack as in the old days, very responsive and not too loud. Now I'm sure when writing text and filling passwords fields. Keyboard layout is properly styled, italics from former models are gone and extra markings are not obtrusive. Compared to flat aluminum Mac keyboards this one is a bit pricier but in the long run will prove cheaper because these Alps inspired switches have a very long life. If you're sitting at your Mac for most of the day, this is a must.
