We found the plastic keys comfortable and their clicky feedback satisfying, though we would have liked a bit more space in between each key.

This set of white island keys sports hotkeys for brightness control, Mission Control, Launchpad, music and video playback, and volume control. The keyboard is thin and ultralight, with a round upper base that keeps the accessory on an incline while holding two AA batteries.
