Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad
LAZY
Written by PP from Baltimore
17-Dec-2009
The volume controls are on the F10-F12 keys while the F16-F19 keys are blank.
Optimal:
F16 = vol down
F17 = vol up
F18 = mute
F19 = eject
The way was it stands is fine for the w/o keypads
This was a lazy extension for the W/ keypads
As the volume and ejects are not reassignable, one loses usage og them of the vital F-keys which they cramp. One has to choose wether to be forced to hold down function key half the time or throw the keyboard out the window.
I am typing this on the clear/white plastic one from yesteryear, which was sensibly built.4 of 7 people found this useful

I have been using this keyboard now for 6 months and from the day I got it I loved it BUT I'd upgrade in a New York minute if I could just find a comparable illuminated keyboard.

Fantastic key board use it all day every day and does not miss a beat, keys all very easy to use leaves standard keyboards for dead. A bluetooth keyboard with numeric keyboard would be even better.

Did not last beyond warranty period
Written by KC from miami
14-Dec-2009
I got this keyboard with the iMac I bought. I do not type much on it because I am not home very often. I do not eat, drink or smoke in front of the computer. Then after a year and 2 or 3 weeks the 'v' key started to require hard pressing in order to get the 'v' on the screen. Now being a fix-all-you-can type IT guy, I tried to open it to try to clean it. You cannot, unless you break the keyboard. Big disappointment, a disposable keyboard at a not-disposable price.

Nice Keyboard
Written by SS from longmont
11-Dec-2009
This keyboard is not just nice but really functional. It is a typical Mac keyboard where the keys are just slightly closer so your fingers don't travel as far like with traditional keyboards. Soft touch, so you don't have to pound on the keys like the older Mac keyboard. Keys are still white and they get a little discolored, but I just unplug the keyboard and hit it with a degreaser and it is bright white again. All around a great keyboard.

Best keyboard out there
Written by FK from Vimmerby

I don´t know any other keyboard that can beat the design and comfortable feeling that this keyboard deliever. The buttons are easy and soft to type on, because underneath the buttons there are plastic bumpers that generates a very soft down-press-feeling. I also like the 2 USB inputs and the special-function keys to acess dashboard, exposé, itunes, volume etc. The construction quality feels solid, robust and exclusive. Like the heavy weight. Buy! :D

A Great Keyboard from a Great Company
Written by PP from Athens

I have to admit that I had my doubts when purchasing this keyboard a few weeks ago. Since retailers in my country (Greece) are awuful, I've bought it used from an online store. I think it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I'm using a non-Mac computer running windows 7 but everything works perfctly except from some specialised keys from Mac, even the windows key works perfectly by pressing the cmd button. The keystroke is just perfect for evey use and transform typing from a chore to pleasure. The design of this keyboard is like from another planet and it's size is just perfect no matter how small or big your desk might be. The only thing that can be improved is the spacebar feeling which is not so good like all other keys. To sum up this is a great keyboard for all kind of users from secretairies to hardcore gamers.

Great!!
Written by RC from Silver Spring

I found this particular keyboard to be great. The slimness of the keys allows for easy movement across the board and the addition of the numberpad allows for easy mathematical calculations. My only complaint is that there isn't a wireless keyboard with a numberpad.

It looks great, it types great, BUT WHY is it not wireless? The Apple Keyboard Pro is awesome and because it is wireless. (I am going back to it.) Apple please get back to a full size wireless keyboard.

Great keyboard.
Written by RP from Erie

I've been using this keyboard for just under 2 yrs. My typing skills are lousy. But the feel and design of this keyboard is nice. It has a small footprint, and the spacing between the keys makes typing on it easier. If Apple made this keyboard in a Bluetooth wireless version, I would own it tomorrow.

Was loving it until...
Written by CM from Nanaimo
24-Nov-2009
Although it looks great, I was against this keyboard for a long time. I picked one up anyways and once I got used to it I fell in love with it. However, after only 4 months it started going haywire and causing glitches in programs before completely shutting down. I thought it was my iMac that was dying because I couldn't see how a keyboard could cause so many frightening problems (screen flashes, apps randomly opening and closing, full freezing...). Thankfully, I switched back to the old white plastic keyboard and everything worked fine. Needless to say, I am taking this back. Hopefully, I can find the receipt and swap it out. I am on the fence about replacing it otherwise. Maybe I just got a bunk one. In any case, I am disappointed.

Keys are flat and slippery
Written by SK from Austin
23-Nov-2009
I work on a computer almost 8 hours a day, and do extensive typing. This keyboard seems cool and satisfies me for a couple of days. However, the practicality is doubtful at best. The keys are flat, and hence, while doing fast typing my fingers often slip and press wrong keys.
Also, the white keys are easily stained. For that reason, I cannot return this product now, and I am using it as a 2-port USB hub. I am very satisfied with a much cheaper other-brand simple keyboard.40 of 56 people found this useful

Apples Peripherals Are Made To Be Looked At, Not Used.
Written by CS from Venice

Extremely disappointed with the keyboard. First off the side USBs get in the way when you're trying to use them. Second, the USB ports couldn't even power a USB mouse and USB headset. But somehow the predecessor white USB keyboard had no problem with it.

Great Keyboard in both form and function
Written by KS from Horsham

This keyboard is stylish and responsive. My wife used to type out notes for her job and she loves how smooth and fast the keyboard is. It has increased her typing speed noticably. Also I love the itunes controls on the top and the eject button for my Mac mini being on the keyboard. All in all this is a great buy.
