Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Arabic

I hate this keyboard! The keys are too close together. Can you recommend an ergonomic keyboard that I can use with my Mac. Can I use any wireless keyboard? I would like to throw this one in the trash.

I just purchased my new IMAC, and it came with a toy keyboard, um where is the number pad, You know the one you need for use in business, for excel , numbers, daily use, I called apple service on another LION issue, and just asked about the keyboard, and was told, NO this is it for wireless. and He the tech wished they had a real one as well, as he has to type in serial numbers and phone numbers all day, sad when an apple tech thinks its a joke as well. This was built for looks not function, and it is not a real size keyboard , this is a toy.
gonna have to yaw my HP wireless keyboard so I can use my $1,800 iMac for business, And I see if you google pathetic apple keyboard , everyone has been complaining about this since 2009 so I won't hold my breath on a fix.

I purchased this keyboard based on the assumption it would perform multiple functions. Some fuctions touted by Apple include being able to control brightness, volume and to change tracks in iTunes. None of these features work with the original iPad. Apple generally has very good support and products, however this one comes up short. It has about three out of five stars on the Apple website. Currently the keyboard is only good for using the letter keys and typing only - no other fuctions work. I know that's the main reason you want one, but as you're working and you suddenly decide your music is a little loud, or you want to skip a track, having the ADVERTISED FEATURES work would be nice. Also, so many fuctions are overlooked, its really almost shoddy of Apple. There is no way to scoll on a webpage (despite having arrow keys) or now way to go back or forward through web pages (despite a multitude of buttons available for such functions). This keyboard may work fine with a full-fledged mac, but because it TOUTED AS AN IPAD ACCESSORY by Apple, you would think they would make it actually perform with an iPad, instead of it being useless for anything but typing. Think hard before your purchase this. It FEELS like you suddenly has a full-fledged laptop in front of you with a dedicated keyboard -- unfortunately the Apple Wireless Keyboard does next to nothing to control the ipad. Major disappointment Apple.

Elegant? Sure, if you put it in a dollhouse. Love a clutter-free desktop, but not enough to try and work on this ridiculous, itty-bitty, cramped keyboard. First time I have ever been disappointed with anything Apple.

Old keyboard happily connected. Wire unfortunate, but hands no longer cramping.

It took a little getting used to, but I quickly adapted....then suddenly it totally stopped working for me. I could type, but had NO control over the space bar, so all my words ran together. I was in the middle of a major project and had to run out and buy a keyboard.

I Googled help, got many answers, to no avail. I saw one response from someone who took it back to an Apple Store and was told "replace the batteries every 2 weeks because they expand"....2 of my batteries are stuck in there, and no way to get them out.

I want to purchase another, but am leery in doing so....

After 20 years of being a PC, I went to MAC over a year ago....LOVE the Apple products, but VERY disappointed in this.....

Pluses: It is easier to type especially for long messages.

Minuses: There are many.
One would think the interface with the iPad would be much better. No tabbing between fields, for example, one is always having to touch the iPad screen. Compose an email, for example and there is no way to send it from the keyboard. One would think ctrl Enter or something would work. One would expect to be able to tab from field to field like one does on a real computer with a keyboard. This is all software and I've waited for over a year since the product was released for s real product. This feels very much like a last minute addition, barely supported. I expected much more full functionality from an Apple product.

I got this keyboard with my new imac. It is the worst keyboard ever designed. Your hands have to be tiny to keep both of them on the keyboard to type. There's no number pad so if you type a lot of numbers forget about it. And I can't even use a lot of shortcuts because the buttons simply aren't there. I am constantly having to backspace and retype things because the buttons are so awkwardly positioned.

To top it all of I have a 27 inch imac so why do I need such a tiny keyboard with it to begin with. My imac is huge.

If I could give this a zero rating I would. Anyone who likes it is just a steve jobs nut hugger or has unnaturally tiny hands.

There is no numeric keyboard and I can't find any modifier to allow one to allows keys to function as numbers. This is critical missing functionality for ProTools and other applications that use Command/Apple numeric keys for shortcut. If you are a ProTools user, I would skip this keyboard in its entirety.
