Got this last week, and have to say when I first got it I thought, hmmm... maybe I wasted my money. First it is not the best looking keyboard out there. Secondly when you go from from a standard flat Applet keyboard to this mechanical keyboard your fingers get caught on the edges of the the keys. Thinking I wasted my money, I persisted and thought, okay you can't judge a book by its cover so give it some time and patience.

2 days in I realised something, I don't know why I've been typing for so long on that Apple keyboard when there are mechanical keyboards out there.

Why the change?
The reason I changed is because I'm a really quick typist, and the Apple keyboard kept on missing characters, which led me to frustration and poor accuracy. At first I thought the keyboard was on its way out. However, after some research I realised you need a full press for a character to register, and this for all the rubber domed keyboards. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the keyboard as I was pressing the keys and they were not registering unless I smashed the keys all the way down, which after a while can be tiring on the end of your fingers... and frustrating because you miss keys.

After scouring the net I realised that mechanical keyboards don't need a full press to register, and they also provide tactile feedback so you know when you've activated it. This meant the activation of they key was not when the key is pressed all they way down, but when the key is activated. This resulted in being able to type faster and for a longer time without fatigue or degrade in accuracy.

A lot of sites say that Blue Cherry MX keys are the best type of keys, so I was hesitant to try the ALPS design.

I've been using a Unicomp keyboard for years; that's the modern keyboard most similar to the old IBM model M. In fact, Unicomp bought the relevant patents from IBM decades ago and they're basically selling USB versions of that great old keyboard. I could type on it faster and more comfortably than on any new style keyboard, and the RATATATATAT when I was working gave proof to any listener of the classic technology involved.

But there also was the problem. The buckling spring keyboard was so loud that it sometimes woke up our kids, and my wife couldn't stand the noise. I took to keeping an old iMac keyboard with silent, squishy keys in the office so that I could switch over if needed. The Unicomp, however great, was pushing us towards divorce.

So I splurged recently and bought a Matias Quiet Pro. The feel is better than with cheapo keyboards and the noise isn't bad at all. It has a built in USB hub with three ports, which is convenient. They've marked all kinds of alternate characters on the key caps, which looks a bit busy and has no value for most people (if you are using the Euro symbol a lot, you know where to find it. If you're not using it a lot, you can find it another way). Anyway, this keyboard is more than adequate. Its greatest weakness is that it's ugly and cheap looking, plastic in faux-metal paint like a late 1990s Dell desktop.

If your circumstances are like mine, and you want a good Mac keyboard that doesn't sound like a combine harvester rolling over a Volkswagon, I think this keyboard is pretty much your only choice.

Having burned through both an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and a $20 Chinese knockoff, this keyboard is a real revelation. I've used Apple Keyboards going back to the original Mac Plus (the Apple Extended ADB board is the gold standard). Back then, keyboards were $150 because they mimicked the old IBM Selectrix design, with individual plungers and contacts that gave them the distinct "clack" that touch typists needed. Now, keyboards are $10 and the contacts are bent pieces of metal assembled by Chinese slave labor. There's no tactile or audible feedback, so typing faster than 50wpm is a chore. There's still a handful of computer keyboard manufacturers that make the old style keyboards, and they're not cheap, but if you had to use a typewriter to write your high school reports, there's really no substitute.

Having tried the much lauded Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, I can safely say it's the triumph of form over function. It looks gorgeous. It types like you're poking a sponge. And yet people under a certain age continue to buy them because they don't know any better and "it just works." Enter Matias with keyboard for serious typists. You know, real writers with a job to do and deadlines. Not people who loiter in Starbucks for hours over a single coffee tweeting and pretending to be writers. This thing is built solid with a battery that will last almost ONE YEAR on a single charge. That's right. I've been using it for the last EIGHT MONTHS on a single charge (the one right after I plugged it in after getting it out of the box). The keyboard throw is perfect for touch typing; I regularly get 70wpm without errors. The keys are marginally smaller than a full size keyboard, but not enough to affect typing for me.
