Verbatim TuneBoard / Speaker Keyboard for Mac 96671

Based on 4 reviews

Mac-specific keys and layout; good key feel; built-in speakers and media-control keys; backlit keys; doesnt require software drivers.
Onboard speakers and media controls. Optional blue LED light. Correct Mac function key mapping. No software necessary.
Responsive keys, Multimedia buttons, Glossy finish, Illumination

No USB port to connect a mouse; oddly placed Help key gets in the way of modifier keys; bass-boost button just increases volume; speakers off-center when users sit properly at the keyboard; backlighting shines between keys and is nonadjustable; odd numeri
It’s huge and heavy. No USB port for a mouse. Doesn’t offer any more controls than your Mac keyboard already has. An ergonomists’s nightmare.
Mediocre sound quality, Bass boost doesn’t add much oomph
