Overview

Use the Apple Wireless Keyboard on your desk, on your lap, or anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac — all because of its built-in Bluetooth technology. Its compact design takes up 24 percent less space on your desktop than full-size keyboards, so you have extra room to move the keyboard around and mouse comfortably alongside of it. You’ll also feel a difference when you type on its low-profile anodized aluminum enclosure with crisp, responsive keys. Use the function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, Exposé, and Dashboard.

The Apple Wireless Keyboard now requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time.

    Best keyboard I have used.

    Written by WB from Toronto

    Oct 20, 2009

    I can type on this keyboard faster and with fewer mistakes than any other I have used. I used to think the keyboard in my old Powerbook G4 was the best I had used, until this was released. The response is great and keys are springy and always register a click. I like this keyboard so much that I bought one for work, with my own money, rather than use the cheap office one.

    The battery life is great and a huge improvement over the first wireless keyboard. I think I change the batteries after four months and that is will daily use and I use it a lot, but can't remember it's so infrequent.

    It's great at a desk and now I use it on the couch on my lap, with the Mac Mini connected to my TV. Same size keys as a regular keyboard, but small enough to tuck into the end of the coffee-table when not in use. Love that it goes into a stand-by/sleep mode and I never need to turn it off. Just stop using it and then tuck it away. No delay or waiting for it to re-connect when I come back to use it hours or a day later. If only there was a model with a touchpad (hint, hint).     …More

    Heavy user. Sysadmin. High praise.

    Written by EB from San Francisco

    Having both a Macbook air and this wireless keyboard is a treat. The wireless keyboard (as well as the wired keyboard) have virtually the same layout, save the function button, smaller control and alt keys, and small arrow-pad. This means that as I move from laptop-keyboard to wireless-keyboard, I do not have to adjust my typing habits to compensate for altered ergonomics.

    The tactile response of the keys is noticeable yet not wearisome.

    Bluetooth distance has never been a problem for me even paired with an tower outfitted with an external USB bluetooth dongle.

    I am a daily user and have replaced the batteries in my laptop twice in about 7 months.

    No gripes here.     …More

    Great improvement on a great keyboard

    Written by JB from Star

    Oct 22, 2009

    There are only two problems with the older version of this keyboard:
    1) it required three batteries which was a pain.
    2) it's so perfect that it spoils you and quickly makes you not like other keyboards including the full size keyboard with the function keys so far away from typing position. …More

    Great keyboard

    Written by LC from Panama City

    Dec 15, 2009

    With desk space being at a premium, a small wireless keyboard was something we really wanted. Looks terrific, and works the same. Keyboarding is a pleasure........smaller footprint than I anticipated (a good thing)...I typically don't need the separate number keypad so I'm glad it's not included. We're extremely pleased with this product. …More

    Made a convert out of me

    I was a dedicated fan of IBM keyboards until I bought my wife one of these. It's a surprisingly great feeling keyboard, in a wonderfully designed exterior. I immediately had to get three more for the other Macs in the house. Haven't had a single regret. …More

    No numbers and low range

    Written by OZ from FORT PIERCE

    Dec 14, 2009

    Why don't they put the numeric pad into the wireless one???

    The main problem is still the connectivity though: just 2-3 feet away and it looses the connection and takes forever to reconnect.

    First apple product of which I'm disappointed.     …More
