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! …More42 of 46 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. …More31 of 45 people found this useful

Apple Keyboard - British
Useless.
Written by CA

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. …More7 of 17 people found this useful

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

where is the backspace key?
- Asked by JM from Albuquerque
- 10-Nov-2009
Best Answer
The "delete' key works like "Backspace" on a WIndows keyboard (deletes the character to the left of the cursor).
To delete the character to the right of the cursor ("Del" on a Windows keyboard) press the "fn" (function) key with the "delete" key. …More- Answered by JP from Hobart

where is the num lock button
- Asked by SC from Trinity
- 12-Oct-2009
Best Answer
Macs do not have the use of a num lock key like windows. If you are using this computer with windows use can use Fn-F6. If you like you can purchase the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and then you can use the clear key. And you can use any PC keyboard with a mac.
Hope this helps! :) …More- Answered by LW from Blakehurst
