Reviews for Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA)

This is my favourite USB keyboard, keys are really comfortable to type on, it looks stunning and overall is really good, one of my favourites keyboards as well as that on the PowerBook G4 and the earlier MacBook Pro's, only backlight would have been a great addition, but doesn't matter greatly

I have a wire, but along with that comes two (2) extra USB Ports up close and easy to use. Also, a numeric keypad to make my life much easier when entering numbers. No batteries to change and recharge. That's good for me. As well as no bluetooth dropping problems I had with the wireless one.

The keys in the seamless housing are so smooth to type. What an improvement over the older plastic models! So much easier to keep clean. This was a great choice.

I have never owned a Mac but after typing on one at my school's resource center, the keyboard sold me! I have always been a keyboard person and this keyboard is magnificent. It is even better than my old IBM click keyboard and I didn't think that was possible.

By the way, I am loving my new iMac with this keyboard. Looking forward to a wireless version.

I have been using Apple keyboards for almost 20 years. This is the best, by far. Smooth, fluid and simple, effortless keystrokes at a twitch of the finger, BUT...the decision to make the "extended" keyboard, only in a wired option really stinks. I would really like to see a wireless extended keyboard.

I purchased the wired keyboard for the MAC with the ten key pad. I needed this specifically for Quickbooks and Excel that I use in the Windows environment through VMware Fusion. My problem is the ten key pad does not work when I am in VMware Fusion. That is serious enough to send me back to a PC because that is where I do my work. While I love the MAC, I use it for personal and fun. I am beginning to understand why accounting and financial people strongly advised I not make the switch from the PC to the MAC.

I effing love this keyboard. It's so easy to use, but seriously, why do we have to choose between having a complete keyboard and having wireless? MAKE A WIRELESS VERSION ALREADY. There are enough people asking for it.
I'm a PC girl, and I would still go out and buy the wireless version of this even though I already have the wired one.

The cord is rather short, even with the extender. Once again, problem solved by wireless version.

This is absolutely the most impressive typing tool I've ever used. The effort required to depress a key is cut by more than half, allowing the user to double their typing speed. As odd as it sounds, I feel honored to have unlimited access to this keyboard. The price isn't bad either! Get some compressed air if you're going to buy this.

The keys are very responsive and I prefer it over my old and huge Microsoft keyboard I used with my MacBook. It is slim and even though it is wired is portable to fit in a backpack. The only suggestion I have to Apple is to completely eliminate the USB cable like they have done with the smaller one. That way I can free up an extra USB slot on my MacBook (there are only two). If you plan on doing mostly desk work, this is the keyboard for you. Not only will it save you $20.00, but it also has the numeric pad. Do not hesitate buying a wired keyboard in anticipation for this one to be updated as BlueTooth because Apple wants to sell the smaller one at the same time. I know this is the simple accessory everyone quietly hopes for!!!

Keys are responsive and comfortable for typing emails, documents, etc... It's incredibly lightweight and takes up little space on a desk and the USB cord is long enough to be used in the lap/lap desk if needed. My only gripe is with the spacebar and I've seen other reviews about this issue as well so I guess it's just something to deal with but the spacebar makes a WEIRD noise depending on where you strike it. Seems to get better with each use though so it could be an issue that improves over time. Overall, it's great but I can't give it 5 stars due to the spacebar and also the fact that the bottom is rather sticky, meaning it can't be easily moved across a surface; you have to pick the whole thing up.

It is the best keyboard I have used. It is quiet, the keys are perfectly spaced and great to type on - the speed and accuracy with which I type has increased immediately simply because of the keyboard. It also looks great.

BUT. Why on earth is it not wireless? They layout and numeric pad are so perfect, that surely it would not take much to create a wireless version! It would sell. people would buy it. So make it! There are millions of people out there who do need to be able to input numbers rapidly into their macs, and it is a shame that there is not a version of this keyboard in wireless. Show your customers that you listen to their suggestions, and please bring out a wireless version!
