Great Keyboard!

I think this is a great keyboard. If you like typing on the newer Macbook keyboards, then you will really like this. The response time is really great, and a huge improvement in my opinion over the old Apple keyboard. The thing is super thin, but very sturdy. Overall I think this is another quality product from Apple.

Fantastic keyboard, I love it

When apple announced the new keyboards, I was excited, and mad. I was excited at this keyboard, the wired version, and was upset about the wireless, as it was not a full keyboard. The older model was fantastic, so I kept my wireless bluetooth, and bought a few spares before they went out of stock.

I recently bought a new macbook pro, and got this keyboard to accompany it (opposed to my wireless, or my wired saitek eclipse). This keyboard is very thin, very beautiful, and super sexy.

The design matches my macbook pro perfectly. It has 2 usb ports, so I can hook up my mouse, and tablet with ease with this keyboard.

The keys have this amazing texture, which I cant explain, you will notice it when you type. It is the kind of thing that makes you happy to have an apple product.

I use this keyboard in OSX and in VISTA. No problems, and with bootcamp drivers everything works the way you want (with exception to the eject key).

In System Preferences in Leopard, you can turn off the annoying feature that stops you from using the f9 keys. I run maya and photoshop, and have custom short cuts I use that use these keys with modifiers, and to use them, I have to turn off the auto functions, and remap OSX's shortcuts (I use command + option + control + the f key as I do not have this mapped in my software programs)

I also have special short cuts for spaces that I use with this keyboard.

This keyboard comes with a small cable, and has an extension that makes it bigger. This is fantastic. I use the regular cable when I'm using the keyboard with my laptop, and I add the extension when I have it hooked up to an external monitor.

I keep my mouse plugged into the keyboard (I use a logitech g9 as I find it far superior to the Mighty Mouse), this saves me from running another long cord across the room, and saves a USB port.

The keyboard is very functional, nice to type with, perfectly laid out, very thin and portable. Matches my macbook pro (the white keys are the same as the white apple, and the base color is the same as the color of the laptop), I keep the keyboard in the box when I transport it as the box is also small.

You need this version so you can have all the keys, a full number pad, and a more spacious design. It fits on my lap, and I use it all the time. I even play games with it.

If you get the wireless version, you will have problems installing OS X and or windows. You need a wired version over wireless to go with your computer. I still have my wireless, but It feels very old and clunky after using this for a month. I thought you could not have a better design than Apples Previous wireless keyboard, I was wrong this one is perfect. If they release a full-sized wireless, I will buy it and use it over this (but keep this as you need a wired keyboard for certain functions).

The wireless is too limiting, as it is smaller, cramped, and does not have all the features of this keyboard. You would need to get a mighty mouse with the wireless, otherwise you will need to run your mouse cord from your computer to wherever your mouse is, and that could be problematic.

Great keyboard, worth the price, I highly recommend. I do not recommend the wireless, it is not worth the extra cash, and I would not buy it if it were cheaper than this keyboard.

Great keyboard

This keyboard is a little expensive, but is built solidly and has such a low profile. It looks good with my other Apple products (Macbook Pro and Wireless Mighty Mouse). My only complaint is that not all keys work for Windows. I run a XP virtual machine using VMWare Fusion and the number pad doesn't seem to work. I might be missing something, so if you know how to get it to work please let me know.

Much better than I expected

I ordered this along with a new trackball (figured I'd give it a try as a friend who has been using one for years swears by it) and a laptop stand.

It is very well built, not flimsy at all despite its thinness. The keyboard was very easy to get used to and I love having the numeric keypad. The keypad is why I chose this over the wireless (and more expensive) version.

I have not really needed the two USB ports, but it's to have them if I do.

Lastly, I had it delivered at work. I am a software developer in a[..]shop. The first thing I did was take it out of the box, walk over to a coworker's machine and plug it into an open port on the front. After a minute of Windows going through it's detection process, it was ready to use and worked flawlessly. No drivers to manually install and the Command key mapped as the Windows key. For those of you thinking of getting a Mac, this an inexpensive way to get started.... :-)

a speedy keyboard

I purchased this keyboard because my old one got sticky and slow. I do transcribing in my home, and it was frustrating to always have to stop when the keys stuck. This keyboard is really great to use. The keys are larger and very sensitive, so I can really fly when word processing. Thanks! This was well worth the price!
