Ask HN: Is there a wired alternative to the Apple Magic KB?

3 pointsby da02over 6 years ago
What wired alternative is there to the Apple Magic Keyboard? (Similar to the scissor switch type feel, but with a USB cord, under $120, and made by another company.)

How about the corded Mini Keyboard C3 Corded (Pro Black edition)?: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;keyboard-landing-page&#x2F;?type=corded" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;keyboard-landing-page&#x2F;?type=corded</a><p>The Mini C3 Office Corded (with indented keys): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;shop&#x2F;keyboard&#x2F;new-mini-keyboard-c3-office-corded-black&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;shop&#x2F;keyboard&#x2F;new-mini-keyboard-c3-of...</a><p>The Mini C2 ($40): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;shop&#x2F;keyboard&#x2F;mini-keyboard-c2-corded-black&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.penclic.se&#x2F;shop&#x2F;keyboard&#x2F;mini-keyboard-c2-corded...</a><p>Evoluent Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard (EKB): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;article2&#x2F;0,2817,2403772,00.asp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;article2&#x2F;0,2817,2403772,00.asp</a>

Matias (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;matias.ca&#x2F;products&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;matias.ca&#x2F;products&#x2F;</a>), and Satechi (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;satechi.net&#x2F;collections&#x2F;peripherals-1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;satechi.net&#x2F;collections&#x2F;peripherals-1</a>) have a number of wired keyboards that have similar looks (not sure about the feel). Similar to cookingoils, I like HHKB (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hhkeyboard.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hhkeyboard.com</a> or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elitekeyboards.com&#x2F;products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elitekeyboards.com&#x2F;products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards</a>), but that doesn&#x27;t meet any of your requirements.

A low-profile tenkeyless mechanical keyboard might be an option: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB395L&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0722GG88M&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switch...</a>

Why not the wired USB keyboard from Apple? It looks and functions pretty much the same, it’s just USB and not Bluetooth.

It&#x27;s my understanding that if you plug it in using the Lightning -&gt; USB cable then it works as a wired keyboard.
