  apple wireless keyboard

  the apple wireless keyboard is a beautiful, small keyboard that is cable free, and allows a blind person to have a clutter free desk. I have never used a wireless keyboard before, but I like it. I have been a windows  user for 12  years, and not once, have I seen a wireless keyboard like this before. Even if this keyboard does not have a newmairick keypad, it can still be used. I found there to be no problems using this keyboard with no numeric keypad. In fact, the page up and page down keys on a normal keyboard confused me some when trying to navigate, but with the new apple wireless keyboard, it is much easier to use. The battery life with the 2 double a batteries is vary, extremely good. If you value keyboards with the numeric keypad, and if you also value having a cable free and clutter free desk, then this is the one for you. or if you are used to having a wired keyboard with numeric keypad, then this might not be for you. I found the wireless keyboard to be a good small little keyboard that is perfect for a computer desk, and it is the perfect keyboard for the new i-mack 21.5 and 27 inch model.. I applaud apple for including this keyboard with the new i-mack, and it is perfect for a visually impaired user who wants a clutter free environment. …More

  Apple's Wire less Keyboard and my iMac 3.GHz

  Written by WS from Edmonton

  Nov 24, 2009

  Operating a audio recording business the new iMac 3.0.6GHz is a huge improvement compared to our PowerMacs.
  
  However the wireless keyboard that is supplied is useless for me.
  
  It has no number pad which is essential in the many special hot key setups in midi/audio programmes and video production programmes.
  
  For example, when recording in Cubase 5 or Digital Performer 7 hitting the number one key from the number pad rolls the music back to the very beginning.
  
  I had to immediately buy the regular keyboard.
  
  It could be the keyboard to have if one was just surfing the net or playing some simple games. …More

  "Apple of my heart"

  Written by AH from Marrero

  Nov 14, 2009

  I recently purchased a brand new 20" iMac. Only to be disappointed by the recent release of the newer LED display iMacs. Initially I thought to myself, I'll just upgrade the keyboard to the wireless one, and I'll swap out my wired mouse for the new, hipper magic mouse. As far as the display goes, I plan on having a multiple monitor set up anyway, eventually purchasing Apple's 30" HD cinema display.
  
  Some of you by this time might be thinking, " What does all of this have to do with giving this wired, soon to be discontinued keyboard, a five star rating? " Well I'm getting to that, you see the first purchase I made in my quest to upgrade my iMac was the wireless keyboard. At the time I placed my order through Apple, the keyboard was being shipped in 7-14 business days, approximately. During this time I had been extremely productive with my iMac. Allowing me to put my wired keyboard through it's paces. In doing so, I found myself being very satisfied with the function and simplicity of my wired keyboard. On my desk, I have a sliding keyboard drawer that neatly hides the wire that connects both display and keyboard to one another. Leaving me with an aesthetically clean work space. I also realized, although a cool piece of ingenuity, I really have no need for a wireless keyboard. Since I currently have a desktop setup only, I don't foresee myself doing any type of productivity away from my desk, making the wireless function, of my potentially new keyboard, simply a non issue. So on about day seven or eight I checked the status of my order to see if Apple had mailed my new keyboard. To my amazement, they had not. I immediately cancelled my order and with ease, a full refund had been issued within days. Leaving me very content knowing I had not forked over more money on something I currently have no use for. If you remember, I did consider this purchase based on the disappointment I had after the release of the new LED display iMacs. Sure it would have been nice to have waited a bit longer to purchase an iMac, in order to own Apple's fastest iMac to date. But after doing some research on all types of reviews and forums on the newer iMacs, I've come to conclude that the upgrades made to Apple's iMacs are marginal at best. The only real significant upgrade is in the display's size and LED technology. Since I intend on having a multi monitor setup, a 30" HD cinema display will soon make me forget about what I might have had if only I had waited a bit longer to drop my hard earned cash on Apple's, what i thought at the time, newest iMac. I suppose technically it was the latest edition of iMacs available. But come on, it had been exactly 32 days after my purchase of the iMac when it was announced that Apple had released a newer, faster, redesigned, reconfigured iMac.
  
  Anyway, all of that is in the past and I'm an Apple user for life. No matter what short comings some of their products might have, most of them exceed in performance and function compared to what PCs offer. Don't forget, there's always Apple Care. For me it's a no brainer, purchase all of your Mac products along with a protection plan. That way, if for some remote chance one of your purchases fail, in either form or function, there is always a rescue net, in the form of Apple Care, to catch all of your worries of figuring out how to repair or ultimately finding the cash to replace that in which you hold so close and dear to your heart, all of your apples.
  
  Bottom line, KEEP YOUR WIRED KEYBOARD! get a new desk. …More
