The classic Apple keyboard that you know (and maybe love?), comes with all the features you need to run macOS smoothly and seamlessly. All the shortcuts you could want are present, and the slim and small profile makes it really great for small spaces. The variation with an integrated number pad is an excellent choice if you crunch in numbers a lot.

Satechi's keyboard looks very similar to Apple's Magic Keyboard with the Numeric Keypad and has a nice, comfortable slant for typing. Although it lacks all the bells and whistles of a wireless keyboard, it does offer a reliable wired connection via an included USB-A cable. The keyboard is available in two Apple-friendly colors, space grey, and silver.
