USB-C Keyboard for Mac

The USB-C Keyboard for Mac offers native USB-C connection for those who no longer have USB-A ports and do not have the need of extra USB Ports. This keyboard features the same layout as the basic Matias Wired Keyboard for Mac with the exception of it now being USB-C native. It is a great alternative for those who miss the Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. This keyboard is equipped with high quality Matias scissor switches to provide a satisfying typing experience despite the slim design. Both models of this keyboard offer all the special Mac functions that were on the discontinued Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and a hard-wired connection via a USB-C cable.

When intense numeric data entry is required, the dedicated numeric keypad provides full functionality. As the design uses a plastic instead of aluminum housing, it has a nominal weight of just 1.2 lbs. The one meter (3.25 foot) USB-C cable eliminates the need for awkward adapters, making the USB-C Keyboard for Mac highly portable. It is available in two colour combinations - Silver w/White Keys or Space Grey w/Black Keys.

The USB-C Keyboard for Mac is also compatible with Mac OS X all the way back to Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

Note: The Matias Wired Aluminum Keyboard, offers the same design and features, as well as a dual USB 2.0 hub and Volume Dial, but is housed in a rigid aluminum housing. It is native USB-A but ships with a USB-C adapter for use with any computer.

• Hard Wired USB-C Connection: The USB-C Keyboard for Mac is equipped with a hardwired native USB-C cable. This ensures a quick, reliable and secure connection to newer devices without the need of an adapter.
• Integrated Numeric Keypad: Unlike the Apple Wireless keyboard, the USB-C Keyboard for Mac includes a full numeric keypad, which provides Mac enthusiasts with the same keyboard functionality they were familiar with in the now-discontinued Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad.
• Low Profile Design: The USB-C Keyboard for Mac employs a "chiclet" or "island" keycap which permits a very low profile. The profile tapers from 3/4" at the back to just 3/8" thick at the front, presenting a slightly angled profile.
• Familiar Design: The keyboard design will be visually familiar to Mac owners and the Grey/Black or Silver/White options will blend with multiple Mac colour schemes.
• Slightly Concave Keycaps: To assist touch typists in maintaining home row position the keycaps feature a very slight concave surface, just barely detectable by the fingertips.
• Mac-Friendly Function Keys: Common Mac functions such as screen brightness and volume control are easily accessed. Those who require the traditional F-Key functions can temporarily access these using the "fn" key.
• Plastic Housing: The upper housing on the USB-C Keyboard for Mac is of plastic instead of aluminum, unlike the Wired Aluminum Keyboard, which makes the USB-C Keyboard for Mac lighter and easier on the budget than the higher end aluminum model.

• Make sure the keyboard is properly positioned. Sit in your usual position at your desk and gently square your shoulders. Allow your upper arms to relax to your waist. Lift your forearms at the elbow and extend your fingers so that there is a straight line from your elbow through the centre of your wrist to your middle finger. Adjust your seat height or keyboard tray so that your arms and hands can maintain this position as you type.
  Note: If you need to raise your chair you will most likely need some kind of support for your feet.
• Try to keep the straight line through the wrist while typing. If you find that your hands are angling up at the wrist you may wish to add a palm support to aid in maintaining that neutral alignment. If considering a palm support you will want one that offers a low profile to match the height of the keyboard.
