Q. I have the iMac 27″ which was a hand-me-down from my parents. It is a nice comptuer but they didn’t have the original keyboard for it anymore so I have just been using a random PC USB keyboard and it is okay buy not great. Any recommendations for a really good but really cheap bluetooth/wireless keyboard for my Mac?

A. Hi Tracy! I was in a similar situations recently and I think I know just the keyboard for you, the Anker Bluetooth Ultra-Slim. It is very inexpensive and works amazingly well with Macs 🙂

Here is a link to the white version on Amazon:

They usually have it for less than $20 and it comes in black too.

My fav features are the compact size, dedicated brightness UP/DOWN keys, and of course the Mac COMMAND key. It also pairs quickly and is very reliable. Volume keys and mute work too.

Overall this keyboard is an really nice bluetooth keyboard for a pretty low price (<$16 at the time of writing, Nov 2015). I have tested a ton of bluetooth keyboards and this is my fav for Apple usage.

You can see it with my 21.5″ iMac, and a Dell USB keyboard for comparison:

If you try it out, let me know how you like it!

Best regards,
