Reviews for Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA)

Everything is wonderful about this keyboard except they moved some of the system control keys for no apparent reason. The disk eject and speaker volume was perfectly placed on the top right hand side of the old numeric keyboard. And the reverse, pause and forward keys rested perfectly over the other navigational keys.

To double up function keys F7 thruF12 and disrupt the natural flow of so many applications that already use this space is stupid. I wonder which designer made this unfortunate choice. I wonder what consumer has F13 thru F19 programmed for anything.

I own and love this keyboard except for one small technicality. It only connects via USB thus cluttering my desk with an extra unnecessary wire and occupying one the four USB connections on my iMac. The wireless keyboard Apple offers is totally useless for anyone who needs a ten-key for work or personal reasons. Why doesn’t Apple offer a wireless version of this keyboard like they did in the past for former keyboard models? Puzzled Apple fan.

Worked great for the first year and half and started having key problems (I never eat or drink anything at my desk. NOTHING was spilled on it)

The 8 key is stuck, cleaned underneath and it was already spotless, still the same problems. Now the o & 1 key doesn't work. Now am forced to use a hideous logitech keyboard as I can't afford 50$ for a new one.

I just spilled water in the keyboard at work and it's working like nothing happened! It was a lot of water. I'm quite impressed! :) YAY! Good stuff, I have this keyboard @ home and I'm happy as always. More now!

I do like this keyboard with the one exception of its non-ergonomic style. I have used the ergonomic keyboards on PC's before changing over to Mac and they are much friendlier on the hands and wrists.

I really like this keyboard and enjoy using it more than other keyboards I've tried, but I got one drop of a drink under the space bar, and cleaning it with a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol damaged it to the point it is non-operational. I plan to buy another one, but it could be more durable to withstand such a tiny amount of moisture.

didn't like the chiclets keys at first but they grew on me. now prefer them to other keyboards. also prefer a numeric keypad for daily data entry.

I originally got the wireless Bluetooth keyboard for the iMac when I purchased it. Its a good keyboard, but the wired 10 key with USB ports has made work more efficient. I no longer have to go to the back of the iMac to plug in a thumb drive, I don't have batteries to worry about or connectivity. Also adding the few other buttons like home, page up, page down etc just makes life easier. The Keys are spread out just enough to make typing easy. It looks great and the function is 100x better then the smaller wireless. This keyboard should be standard on the iMacs.

I cannot understand for the life of me why Apple did not produce a full size keyboard in wireless. I would gladly sacrifice the two USB ports for wireless! Other than that (thanks for the vent) it is an excellent keyboard. Stylish, functional, and easy to keep clean! Excellent value, and compliments my iMac beautifully.

I've tried Microsoft's Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, which, in addition to having a ridiculously long and pointless technically numeristic name, also broke very easily; I tend to spill coffee on my keyboards quite often, and they tend to break. But this keyboard didn't, it functioned perfecly after a small spill, and it's also beautifully ergonomic to use, even if it's not a split keyboard. I believe this is the fastest typing and best feeling keyboard I've ever used. And resilient as well!
