Working To Live... With Mac
Apple’s ecosystem of devices is amazingly simple. From syncing across devices to navigating crucial apps and software, everything works seamlessly. But at a price, literally. Imagine as a designer you have a Mac computer of sorts, controlled by an iPad pro and Apple Pencil 2nd gen. And… why not throw in a magic keyboard and mouse. That’s a $3,000 to $10,000 (if not more) investment. With that said, we know everyone is working to make a livin’ but needs a decent keyboard to perfectly accentuate their Apple ecosystem (without the “price” attached to it). So here are the best office Mac keyboard that does the trick.
Note: We ranked the keyboards by the best: features, ergonomics, overall, and price.
