New Apple Keyboard

II 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. So Sorry Apple I don’t
think you did enough research for those of us who can touch type. I personally would have
preferred using the keyboard that came with your
earlier Apple macs and loved the sound of them too.7 of 18 people found this useful

The original IBM keyboards are still unequalled in my opinion. The keyboard that came with my Mac Pro is far more stylish, but far less pleasant to actually type with! Please Apple, can't you commission Unicomp or someone to make a new version with a USB connection, Apple specific keys, and maybe even the fancy aluminium fascia, but retaining the original reliable contactless clicking keys for those of us who don't regard the keyboard as an afterthought and are willing to pay extra for some real quality rather than an elegant but ultimately rather useless appendage.

The new Apple keyboard looks very nice - however, if you want to use it to type then forget it - it is ergonomically flawed. Forget this one - it's pretty useless.

STOP If you use 10.4

I bought this keyboard to replace one that had a few non functioning keys due to coffee, delighted with my new purchase lovely look and feel to it but no software update is available for me to use it on Tiger 10.4.11. Result I have a keyboard that has a load of non functioning keys (not the same ones as the old one)EG I can't alter the audio volume, most all of the F keys don't do what they are supposed to. Be Warned, this will cost you an extra €129 to upgrade to OS 10.5 so that you can use it.
