Each key sits on its own mechanical switch, exactly like a full-height board — the switch housing and keycap are simply shorter, which reduces the travel distance and the overall height of the keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these switches quiet enough for an office?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are tactile rather than clicky, so you feel a bump when the key actuates but there is no sharp click mechanism. They are noticeably quieter than a clicky mechanical board, though still more audible than a membrane keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with a Mac?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe layout is Windows-standard. It will connect and type on macOS, but the modifier keys sit in the Windows positions, so you may want to remap Command and Option in macOS keyboard settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich model should I pick if I want wireless?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CX40. It has a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth dual-mode, so you can run it wirelessly or plug in when the battery is low. The CX30 and CX32 are wired only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use my own cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The cable detaches completely from the keyboard, so it packs flat and can be replaced with any compatible cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the number pad included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
