Overview
The Apple Wireless Keyboard has been completely redesigned, inside and out. It features an elegant, ultra-thin anodized aluminum enclosure with low-profile keys that provide crisp, responsive feel. It also has function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Its compact design fits on your lap or on even the most crowded desk. And its Bluetooth wireless technology lets you use it just about anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac.
The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time.

This keyboard has a very slick design. However, I find that it constantly skips characters that I have typed. In addition, the lay…Read moreout is so poor that I am frequently turning the Caps Lock on without realizing it. This leads to a lot of wasted typing.

Very compact but the keys are very close and takes a minute to get used to. Don't buy this to replace your full size keyboard because you will be highly upset. Other than that its great!

Apple Wireless Keyboard
Good keyboard (unless you write a lot of code)
Written by MS from Poughkeepsie
Sep 19, 2007
I received my wireless keyboard with my new iMac a couple of days ago and I have to say, it's a pretty good little keyboard. The …Read morekeys are appropriately sized and the "throw" is nice for typing e-mails and documents. For general work, it's a good choice.
As nice as the keyboard is, I have to say, it's not great for someone who writes a lot of code. Unlike its full-sized brother, this keyboard lacks a control key on the lower right side of the keyboard which makes it difficult to perform common key sequences like ^A, ^E, ^F, ^B, ^C, ^D, and ^X in a terminal window. The lack of home/end/page up/page down keys also complicates things a bit.
That said, I'm going to stick with it. The small footprint is just too convenient!
