Needs getting used to but good

Got it today, feels really nice. Much better than the old stile with the large keys.
Wonderful to type on, but its just slightly smaller feel than my MBP which takes a bit of getting used to.
Great build quality, compact. Perfect for a cramped workspace. Another great product from Apple! …More38 of 42 people found this useful

great for the busy desk

I've found the wired and wireless version of this keyboard to be very good indeed. The keys are responsive, and I certainly haven't experienced any of the numb fingers one reviewer mentions. The real joy for me is the small footprint, which is a real blessing on a busy desk which is scattered with books and journals. The only quibble I would have with the product is the price... but hey, it's a mac thing. …More

Disappointing
Written by WT from ROCHDALE
Jul 25, 2009
Used this for a week before replacing it with the numeric keypad version. Two major problems:
1 For some reason the keys aren't as springy and responsive as on the longer keyboard, and you have to bash pretty hard. Return key similarly unreliable.
2 Okay we don't need the numeric keypad but the other navigation buttons are very useful.
What would be great would be a hybrid of the two keyboards - minus the numeric keypad but with the navigation keys and F13-15 keys. …More25 of 36 people found this useful

Useless.

I too touch type around 70-80 wpm and personally I don’t find it easy using this keyboard. I’m going to be buying my new apple imac in the next couple of
weeks and a really nice chap in my local computer shop showed me the new keyboard after
I told him that I wasn’t sure if I would like the response of the keys as I touched typed.
After having a go of this keyboard straight away I didn’t like it because you really have
to press the keys and it felt as though I was pressing buttons instead
of the usual response you get from a regular keyboard. As one user pointed out in a
review of this keyboard it feels as though you’re having to bash the keys something that those
of us can and enjoy touch typing don’t need to do and it slows you down.
Then it looks and feels like using a laptop keyboard which
I have never enjoyed using. So Sorry Apple I don’t think you did enough research for
those of us who can touch type. You’ve sacrificed functionality
over style I personally would have preferred using the keyboard that came with your very
earlier Apple macs the ones with the black keys and I loved the sound of them too. I prefer nice loose springy clicking keys that respond easy to touch.
Bring them back!
These new keyboards may look nice but they’re useless for touch typing. …More2 of 7 people found this useful

Great Build Quality as usual but useless as a tool

I love my Mac to play with for my DVDs and music, but this just proves that macs aren't intended for serious computing. A numeric keypad is an absolute critical must for real work! …More

At first i was afraid!
Written by JM from Bristol

I had some doubts about moving away from a traditional keyboard with numeric keypad next to it. This keyboard kind of looks cramped and too small and i thought i was going to regret it.
however i have been using it for 5 days now, (all day, working) and i have to say i find it excellent.
1. The size, as the keyboard is slim, my mouse sits right next to it and makes the position of the mouse optimal for use
2. The feel of the keyboard i find the best i have ever used, i am able to touch type very quickly on this board and i have been used to using some of the best keyboards in the market (cherry keyboards)
3. the lack of number pad i miss a little but I am getting used to it, i only really used it for typing in my phone number quickly and i just need to adapt.
4. the keyboard is quiet and i love how it looks (not sure i will feel the same once the keys get all dirty) But for now this is a five star product for me. …More15 of 17 people found this useful
