Needs getting used to but good
Written by TY from Halifax

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! …More36 of 40 people found this useful

great for the busy desk
Written by IL from manchester

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
25-Jul-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. …More24 of 32 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
11-Sep-2009
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. …More11 of 12 people found this useful

Why!?!
Written by RS from Lancaster
19-Aug-2009
We accidentally got these keyboards with our new Macs (our fault for not checking what keyboard was being shipped by default). But given the choice why would anyone choose one of these keyboards?! It's identical to the keyboard layout of Apples laptops and as is of the high quality standard we have come to expect from Apple. But it's just not as good as the longer, more practical keyboard and costs the exactly the same! The return key is stupidly small and the cursor keys are equally undersized and feel squeezed in. The only advantage to this keyboard that I can see is if you are REALLY strapped for desk space. …More
