Since keyboards have been mentioned, I’d like to recommend the Matias Bluetooth Keyboard.
It can pair with four devices at once including IOS, Windows, and Mac. It has all the keys of a standard desktop. It has been the best keyboard I’ve owned to date. My second favorite keyboard is the Pluggable Bluetooth keyboard. It folds up to about the size of a paperback book. It can pair with one device at a time.

This keyboard will pair with up to three devices, has all the clusters of keys a full keyboard usually has, and a soft wrist-pad. It is raised a little in the middle with a split between the left and right hands. It almost feels like the top third of a ball. Interesting to me is that the raisable feet for the keyboard are in the front not the back, so it can be tilted away from you a little. She has used it with both her MacBook computers. When I tried to find the home row I found it a little difficult since the distance between the hands is greater than on a standard keyboard. Let me know if you want model information. Also, Tidbits.com <http://Tidbits.com> last week reviewed a Series M keyboard designed for the Mac that uses traditional parts very similar to computer keyboards from 35 years ago. The reviewer appreciated the device, but it was about $150.

My local apple store says apple can supply one if your current one is sent back to be refurbished. On Fri, 5 Mar 2021, 'Andy Logue' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi all. As a consequence of poor tactile feeling in my fingers and hands, I much prefer to use an Apple external keyboard to the on-board keyboards I've come across. The Apple keyboard I'm referring to is solidly built; Has a half inch step to rays the rear end of the keyboard, just below the IF keys and is about 4 inches broad. The Query keys are slightly apart and have a solid and sure click; The 6 pack and navigation and numeric sections are also professionally constructed to give someone with my poor touch a degree of confidence. I'm gutted however as I've managed somehow to damage my keyboard by spilling something over it. The Apple store in Glasgow are asking for ??115 for a replacement. Despite my love of this keyboard, I think it's rather too expensive. I've noted on this list that some members have purchased None Apple keyboards using Amazon. Can anyone please guide me to such a keyboard and also, tell me if it is as nice as Apples own model or should I stick with Apple. Thanks. Very best wishes.
