I've had this keyboard for a few months now and it's brilliant, easy to find the keys and quiet. The style is so much better than the old, which looks dated now.

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.

This keyboard it just fantastic. It is beautifully designed and MUCH better than my old white heavy 'clacky' keyboard. Typing is now a pleasure rather than a chore. Delivery was super fast.

Contrary to other reviews I can confirm that my keyboard does have a '£' key. However, make sure you order the United Kingdom version and not the International English version. There's a drop down list on the right hand side of the page where you can make your choice.

Excellent keyboard just easy plug and play, easy to transport around with my laptop and very robust. Just commenting on mac OSX 10.4. the normal F key functions do work if you go to system preferences and go to keyboards and mouses and tick the box for the use of all F keys so you can use the F9, F10, F11 and F12 keys all as normal and to use printed on picture keys press the function key and F9 and it will skip tracks for example.
If you can work your mac you can work this!
Enjoy

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.

As a previous PC user, and only just recently moving over to Mac, I've been really pleased with this keyboard. The build quality is really good, and the hot keys at the top are really useful. Also, the two USB ports are nice to have and make life a bit easier - no more messing about with cables at the back of the computer. All-in-all, a very good and comfortable keyboard that seems to be built to last.

This is a 5***** product and it works on WINDOWS!!.For £29 you cant ask for more. it has a very nice feel to the keys. they are easy to press and are not to close together making misstypes a thing of the past. my typing speed has increased when using this keyboard because it is so easy to navigate around it. A great product and well worth the money, ultra slim and they mean it. i would recoomend it if you lack desk space. although i think the mouse apple make is a bit..... clunkey. i would reccomend this keyboard to anyone.

I've had all sorts of keyboards, with this being so thin I was concerned it may feel a little bit flimsy like a cheap laptop keyboard, but i was wrong. I think this has to be the best keyboard I've tried to date, it feels solid and it really makes typing a breeze. I actually look forward to typing on it.

Because the keys are much lower profile than the old Apple and many other keyboards, your fingers don't have to press down as far or as hard. This reduces the strain on your fingers and hands, and allows your fingers to move to the next position/key much faster. The combination of that and the keyboard being virtually flush to the desk, means it feels natural and pleasant to type with your palms sat comfortably on the desk. The new labeled function keys are a nice touch too.

Whilst it takes a little while (day of so) for your fingers to adjust you soon begin to realize how much energy has been wasted typing on an old keyboard. Plus its quieter too! no more clatter clatter like back in the old days.

The only issue I have found is the tendency to miss the enter key as it is quite a bit smaller than most other keyboards. They should have made it bigger, (especially as stressed designers are notorious for bashing the enter key lol). This is my only design issue but one that I can live with for the speed gains, aesthetics & comfort. Of course it looks mint, and hopefully thanks to the aluminum will last for a long time.

Besides a bigger enter key, as a final touch it would be great to to see a backlit option for the keys, however if you can touch type this isn't really an issue, but it would be nice to find those new function keys easily in the dark whilst gaming or watching a dvd / movie etc.

A few small layout changes compared to the old apple keyboard include the eject key, which has moved from the right corner to F13 so all you fast restart / shutdown shortcut peeps may need to get used to it.

Whilst it has 2 usb ports they don't provide enough power to power my usb flash thumb drive which is a disappointment (same as old apple keyboard). Finally with no visible way do disassemble the keyboard, cleaning may be an issue, but tbh at such a great price would probably be easier to buy another ;)

Overall though an excellent keyboard, highly recommended, massive improvement on the old apple keyboards. The keyboard wins on quality & price. Apple design at its best.
