The Kanex MultiSync Mac keyboard is an ideal option for those that want to switch between multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices quickly without trading in on design and functionality. The MultiSync is crafted from aluminium, meaning it won't look out of place next to an iMac or an iPad and feels comfortable to use over extended periods of time. It's also wireless, meaning the design isn't sullied by miles of winding cables.
The extended Bluetooth functionality allows users the ability to switch between iPad and Mac keyboard input with a single button press, and takes only seconds to switch. How? This is due to the fact that the MultiSync can be connected to not one, not two, not even three but four Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
The MultiSync keyboard also features a full numeric keypad for easy number input, and a number of Mac (and iOS) specific keys including a Home button, music controls and even an brightness controls.
But, is it comfortable to use? We find it generally quite comfortable to use with handy shortcut keys and a low-profile design, but it isn't perfect. The first issue is that there is no UK-specific keyboard, so those of us in the UK find ourselves hitting the wrong keys at the wrong time (especially the Enter key!) as it's US-only. We've also noticed that when we're typing extremely fast, the keyboard may not register two button presses that happen almost simultaneously. While this isn't a massive deal for us, it can cause frustration after extended periods of time.
