## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want an apple mac small greek plug in keyboard**
A: I am very happy with this Macally Apple Wired Keyboard - compatible keyboard for Mac and Windows.

**Q: I have the macally slimkeycsg but the key are too small for my hands. are the keys size the same on this one or a little large??**
A: key sizes and spacing are identical to my previous 2 Apple Mac keyboards.  However, Control, Option, and Command keys are smaller and therefore placed a little differently--to add a "fn" button on the left, and to squeeze in the direction keys (arrows) on the right. Drives me a little nuts, but allows the keyboard to be narrower.

**Q: i have a macbook air 2021. this will work, i just need a USB adaptor, is that right? thank you!**
A: Yes, it does work. Just make sure after you plug in your keyboard, go to System Preferences - Keyboard - Change Keyboard Type - then reconfigure your keyboard

**Q: Why the keyboard doesn't work on windows 10?**
A: I have to keep switching USB ports

*by J***J on 26 April 2024*

Decided to get a Windows desktop so it wouldn't run hot the way my Mac laptop easily does. Very easy transition because of this keyboard! I'm super used to chiclet keyboards because of Apple and I'm so glad stuff like this is out there for desktops. I still use my laptop lots (writing this review on it too lol), and don't feel any big difference when I switch over to the PC typing-wise.
