Best Answer
According to other sources I've read...
MB110LL/A: Leopard/Snow Leopard keyboard.
MB110LL/B: Lion keyboard.
* F3 & F4 keys are silk screened with different icons to represent Lion's functionality.
Looking at the boxes personally...
The MB110LL/A box requirements state:
Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later.
The MB110LL/B box requirements state:
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later.- Answered by Barry C from Sudbury

Best Answer
The keyboard with the numeric pad is only available wired. It does come with an extension cable that doubles the length of the standard cord.
The cord is really low-profile and not really a problem.- Answered by Michele G from O Fallon

The Function keys will not all work properly on 10.5.8, all the other keys will be fine. The previous model MB110LL/A would work with all the Function keys on Leopard or Snow Leopard.

Are Apple keyboards, with only a delete key, less efficient in making deletions than conventional keyboards with both a backspace and a delete key?
I have been using a Windows desktop at home and my office. Although I have never had a laptop, I have been planning to buy an Apple laptop for use when I travel. However, I recently used an Apple and found its keyboard, in one particular way, to be inferior to the standard keyboards that I have been accustomed to using. Do you agree?
A conventional keyboard has two keys to make deletions. The backspace key deletes characters to the left of the cursor. The delete key deletes characters to the right of the cursor. In contrast, the Apple keyboard has only one key to make deletions. It is the delete key and it deletes characters to the left of the cursor. It appears that if I want to delete characters to the right of the cursor, there is no way to do that directly and simply. Am I correct about that? I must either use a second key or I must first highlight the text and then delete it.
Using a non-Apple conventional keyboard, it is also possible to delete an entire word and one adjacent space in only two strokes by using a combination of the control key and the delete key. The same can be done in the other direction using the control key and the backspace key. How would these two types of deletion most efficiently be done with an Apple keyboard?
The reality seems to be that two keys to delete can operate more efficiently, in more directions, than only one (Apple). Do you agree that the Apple keyboard is less efficient in making deletions than the conventional keyboard when using Word software? What is the best way to get around that inefficiency in a MacBookPro? If there is no way around it, should this discourage me from getting an Apple since I do lots of word processing and deletions?
Does the Apple keyboard have any advantages over the conventional keyboard that I should be aware of?- Asked by Robert J from Granger

Is the USB extension cord that comes with the keyboard have "standard" USB male & female fittings?
I can't seem to fit a male USB plug into the extension's female fitting.
- Asked by Steve G from Auburn
- Dec 8, 2009
- Flag as inappropriate
Best Answer
OK... so I discovered my own answer... Apple puts a little ridge on the USB keyboard "extension" female fitting. And, they put a matching valley on the male keyboard fitting. So.. the male keyboard fitting will slide into a standard USB port (in back of computer) and the ridged female fitting on the extension... BUT a standard USB male fitting will not fit into the female extension fitting because of the ridge. I wanted to use the extension to extend my printer cable.. so I filled off the ridge in the female fitting and now I don't have to buy a extension for the printer.

The apple keyboard itself will work great with your HP machine... if you want the brightness and volume hotkeys to work though, you need to install the bootcamp drivers from a SL disc

Is there a separate (wireless) numerical key pad that can be used in conjunction with the standard Apple wireless keyboard?
- Asked by Hedda R from Woodbridge
- May 15, 2011
- Flag as inappropriate
Best Answer
LMP make a bluetooth numeric keypad which is designed to clip onto the end of the Apple keyboard. it is not made the same and has a hokey way of switching on the Apple keyboard (as it covers the on off switch when installed). On top of that it costs $60 so it would be cheaper to buy the $49 keyboard with keypad from Apple. There is a calculator with bluetooth which is intended to behave like the numeric keypad, again made by somebody else, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes it will. I currently use this wired keyboard along with a wireless trackpad and leave the keyboard connected to one of the USB ports on the back of the Thunderbolt Display. The two USB ports on the keyboard work fine for me when connecting my iPhone/iPad to sync.

Is there a difference between Apple Key board A1243 and Apple Keyboard MB110LL/A?
Keyboard differences?
- Asked by Timothy J. M from State College
- Jul 12, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
Mostly they seem to be identical, but if you are like me and use an alternate keyboard layout (i.e. Dvorak) and have always popped the keys off to re-arrange them, there are two keys on the newer keyboard that have the mounting on sideways, which means you'll end up with 4 keys on their side. The A1243 didn't have this design.

which is better the keyboard with a numeric keypad or the wireless keyboard?
which feels better...i can't decide.. i like the wirelessness...but i don't know if i should opt for a keyboard with a numeric keypad
- Asked by Jonah K from Waterville
- Dec 3, 2011

Answer
Totally depends on your needs. If you're doing spreadsheet work or data entry or anything with a lot of numeric entry, having the numeric keypad is desirable. It is also great in some gaming situations. If not, the smaller form factor and lack of cord makes the wireless keyboard nicer. I have and use both depending on what I'm doing. I keep hoping Apple will come out with a wireless keyboard with numeric keypad. Both Microsoft and Logitech make them.
