Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - English (USA)

I love this little thing, I bought this at JB HI FI. $100 I thought must be a great little thing. Smooth, Light, Portable. Playing WoW on my TV in bed with this Keyboard and my Logitech M305 Wireless mouse is so much easier then straining my back in a chair. Only problem I have is the fact It will say Connection Lost then Connected again. Not sure if it's the Keyboard, My New MacBook Pro which has Mac OS 10.6.7 I'm just lost as to what it would be. Maybe it's to do with the Keyboard putting itself to sleep (if it does). I hope someone has had the same problem or someone that knows what's going on can Let me Know.

I have loved this thing since day one. Very sleek yet big enough for even my sausage fingers. The only thing holding me back from giving it a full five starts is that it does not have a number pad. This is not a deal breaker for me, I obviously use one, but it might be for people who do number work all day long, but that aside, this is the best wireless keyboard money can but right now.

This is a typical keyboard that works well with the iPad as well as Windows PCs. Nothing too special, except the inclusion of a Caps Lock indicator (usually not available on wireless keyboards). The keyboard does use a lot of battery which needs to be replaced often. You can use it with AA rechargeable batteries but it does not come with charging capabilities.

A small advice to apple, lower the power consumption and use a single AA battery and allow it to be charged over USB or with a small dock.

You Get What You Paid For

I got this wireless keyboard a Futureshop yesterday. The product is in stellar condition, the built quality is excellent and it is SO small compared to PC keyboards :).

It takes a bit of time to get used to the keyboard. It has NO keyboard flex whatsoever and the keys seem to be very responsive.

I'm using the keyboard with an Acer 3820tg laptop, and its integrated bluetooth module. It took less than five minutes to set up and works perfectly with the module (I my Logitech wireless keyboard and even my Microsoft mouse working).

The keyboard is compact yet very sturdy and looks very resistant. The only downsides are that the functions keys do not work when used with a PC (even the play/pause/etc buttons) and that there is no delete key (when used with a pc). It instead is used as a backspace. In windows you can delete something with Ctrl+D, but in applications you often need the real delete key. I heard that the software "EventGhost" could adress the issue.

It's the 2th apple product that I've bought in my life (1st one was an iPod Touch) and I am very satisfied with my products as they just work PERFECTLY. My next plan: Get a Apple laptop!

I got this for my macbook pro and it works beautifully. It has the exact same dimensions as EVERY apple keyboard from the last few years, so as a touch typer it is easy to switch back and forth. It is super durable and super light. my only complaint is that it doesn't have a keypad. This is inconvenient not only because of the functionality of the keypad, but because it is narrower and that makes it harder to type with it on your lap. over all I am extremely satisfied with this product.

I purchased this to work off my Ipad and Iphone 4 as I send a lot of test messages and its great. Only wish I had purchased it earlier. Was advised this one was better than the dock as you can use in landscape and portait.

I use my keyboard with my iPad to type notes in class and it is great but it would be so much better if you had a case for it!

This kerfuffle about no numeric keypad on the mac wireless keyboard reminds me of falling in love with the "perfect" person...only to want them to change once you have your claws into him or her. The wireless keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad...because it doesn't. Apple products are about aesthetics as much as design and features. Aesthetics are what true Apple Heads have always coveted. Apple does its best to meld the three. But in the end, it has to feel like art. And if utilitarian aspects, like a numeric keypad, detract from its beauty, lightness/contour, and tactile experience...it has to be jettisoned. This is what all the PC converts to Mac have to understand. Otherwise, break up with Apple and find something else. But don't compromise a beautifully designed Apple product. (Apple please don't start compromising your aesthetics to comply with the masses who are just discovering your products. True AppleHeads have always known who they are and don't want to be brought down several levels. Keep doing what you've always done: making art.)

love the wireless bluetooth technology and compact size...would like to see wireless with numeric keypad!!!

I love this keyboard. I don't really like "traditional" keyboards. I don't like a lot of wires all over the desk. I use it along with the Magic Mouse mainly because I use an external monitor with my MacBook Pro. All in all it is a great keyboard. It's not for everyone, but It works for me.

Pros: Sleek, Sexy, Aluminum, Bluetooth, Easy to pair, It Just Works.

Cons: No 10 Key (The reason the fifth star is not selected.)

I would suggest you try it out first at a local Authorized Apple Retailer or Apple Store.
