Customer Reviews

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. It is too bad that Apple doesn't make a full size keyboard, in this new metal design, that is wireless. For now, I returned this item and opted to stick with the old white, full size mac wireless keyboard.

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 nice.

If you absolutely need a number pad and could not live without one, this is obviously not the keyboard for you. Otherwise, look no further. This is the best keyboard for your Mac.
