Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English (USA)

Firstly, this is an excellent keyboard. I'm a very fast touch typist (I can keep up with most words in a typical lecture) and it is a pleasure to type on. I use my keyboard to take seminar, meeting, lecture, etc. notes using Pages on either my iPhone or iPad and with the keyboard. Other times I use they screen keyboard on the iPhone/iPad, so don't use the keyboard all the time. When I don't use it, I power it off. And this is why I'm giving the keyboard only 3,not 5 stars. When I carry the keyboard in my bag, in a soft case, the insanely sensitive power button gets bumped which turns on the keyboard, and keys then get bumped which has random, undesirable effects (like blasting music at inappropriate times) on whichever one of my devices it happens to pair to. I have not yet seen a good case that protects the power button. All available cases are soft and are open on the sides. I really wish someone would make a simple, inflexible plastic box that the keyboard fits in nicely. The cardboard box the keyboard came in has been my saviour so far - but how long will it last? Tupperware people - are you reading this????

I think this is the best keyboard ever. It's beautiful and easy to type on. I love the way the keyboard takes up hardly any space yet it's still a full keyboard with space between the keys. It goes along with my Magic Mouse really great.

Working in InDesign, I need the numeric pad to make keyboard shortcuts. No numeric pad=no short cuts. That means slower work with this keyboard. I do like the light, wireless, clean(!!) design. No crumbs are stuck down inside my keyboard. Loving it. But working slow. . .

Case fused and was not fixable...junk. Apple was no help! It is a poorest product yet from Apple.

I liked this keyboard a lot until the batteries corroded and fused the battery compartment shut. Apparently this is a common failing of AAs. The 'sleek' design is now working against me as there is no way to get it open. Had to buy a whole new keyboard!

I didn't use it that much and it worked great for a while but this morning, it inexplicably died. I've had it for less than a year.

I'll be buying a cheaper bluetooth keyboard if this is what the reliability will be.

I just got it today and I'm already loving it.The keys are really easy to click so you can type faster.

i bought a ipad mini during Christmas along with this keyboard ! the keyboard is great, i love it ! but since i use a PC at home ... my typing habit switch in between... nyways ,,. i'm a university student and using an ipad and keyboard to go to lecture hall is the best thing since it's small and light weighted so you can carry it around ,,,, but the problem is since i carry this keyboard around ,,, i'm scared that it might break APPLE you need to make a case for it !!! the keyboard is expensive ... don't know what to do if it breaks ,,, probably would not buy another one --"

The keyboard is nice and most importanly is very compact. No questions - I love it. It has one downside: power switch. I mean you can turn it off and on, but the stupid keyboard turning on by itself while I am carrying it my backpack on the way to school, and the most terrible thing it turns Itunes on, so I walk like a boombox (tanks God Ipads are not that loud) till I notice.

It's okay. No complaints from me about battery life or reliability. Nice weight and balance to it. The keys do seem to attract grime and dirt easily.
Biggest problem is that it needs the awesome backlighting that most of the Mac laptops have. (I would happily sacrifice tons of battery life if that's what it takes.) The backlit keys of my MacBook Air are so awesome, yet when I hook it up to the TV and take this wireless keyboard to the couch I lose that great feature.
