Great Keyboard, 3 Shortcomings
First, this keyboard, although small, feels just like a full size keyboard. If your new to Apple products, you will love it. Only three exceptions that I noted, the placement of the arrow keys, if your a die hard computer user, it is nearly or just plain impossible to get use to. Second, the delete key, meaning the delete key that deletes a key to the right of your cursor is missing. So, if you get one, remember that you will need to press FN+delete to delete to the right of your cursor. The keys for expose, spaces, etc, have been mapped over the function keys. I really don't care for the press FN, then hunt for the key.
If your a long-time mac (or Windows switcher) you may have trouble adjusting to the shortcomings that I noted. ... Read More
pretty cool
i had no problems with it yet. only thing i run into is the keys getting stuck like if i wanna type "r" it'll sometimes hold it down and type "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
My wife said it best...
As soon as I started typing on it, before she had even seen it, she said, "I love that keyboard." You see, I have a small desk right next to our bed where I do most of my work, and the quiet, almost muted, tapping of this keyboard was a welcome change to the default keyboard on my PowerBook G4 or the usb keyboard I used previously.
Then, of course, there is the beautiful form factor of this thing... it is simply a work of minimalist art that I enjoy seeing on my desk. It takes up so little room compared to other models.
My only constructive comment is that I would prefer an option for the new black keys that are on all of the Apple MacBooks that just came out. I am wondering how long these white keys will stay looking ... Read More
Great keyboard... But where's the keypad?
I owned this keyboard for a short while before switching to the wired version. Why? Because this wireless version, as you may see, has no keypad. That's a hard thing to get used to for a desktop computer. I'd find myself reaching to enter numbers and hitting table... So I had to give up.
But that is the ONLY negative about this keyboard. The style is awesome. Once you're used to typing on the chiclet keys, you won't want to use a chunky keyboard anymore. It's quiet (no key click) and VERY responsive... But smart. For example, if you accidentally tap the "Caps Lock" key for a split second, it won't engage. It only engages if you press it with intent. I think it's timed, but maybe it's based on pressure. Either way, you'll not likely ... Read More
Another Great Apple Product
I mostly work with a desktop Mac, but more and more I use my laptop in another room of the house as my get-away office.
I use a laptop risier and a full size keyboard. Needless to say, the full size keyboard and the cables with and mouse were a real mess and take up a lot of room.
The new wireless keyboard is great, not only in helping me to eliminate clutter, but it's lightweight and travels well.
I don't really need an extended keyboard and for surfing and emailing it works great. As with other Apple products, the setup was easy.
The wireless keyboard is the same size as my Apple PowerBook, so the keyboard is not full size, which is not good if you are doing a LOT of writing or typing, but ... Read More
