Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Arabic

Firstly, this is an excellent keyboard. I'm a very fast touch typist (I can keep up with most words in a typical lecture) and it is a pleasure to type on. I use my keyboard to take seminar, meeting, lecture, etc. notes using Pages on either my iPhone or iPad and with the keyboard. Other times I use they screen keyboard on the iPhone/iPad, so don't use the keyboard all the time. When I don't use it, I power it off. And this is why I'm giving the keyboard only 3,not 5 stars. When I carry the keyboard in my bag, in a soft case, the insanely sensitive power button gets bumped which turns on the keyboard, and keys then get bumped which has random, undesirable effects (like blasting music at inappropriate times) on whichever one of my devices it happens to pair to. I have not yet seen a good case that protects the power button. All available cases are soft and are open on the sides. I really wish someone would make a simple, inflexible plastic box that the keyboard fits in nicely. The cardboard box the keyboard came in has been my saviour so far - but how long will it last? Tupperware people - are you reading this????

Why didn't Apple make this a rechargeable keyboard? They are touting their battery technology and clearly they could have added it to the keyboard with little effort and I know MAC fanatics would pay extra for that. I would

Why didn't Apple make a version with a numeric keypad? The old Apple Wireless Pro Keyboard was great with the exception of the closely spaced keys and the poor battery performance, both of which could easily have been resolved.

Why doesn't Apple offer this in black? Some people don't like white you know.

Other than that it is a great keyboard. If they added the numeric keypad I would give it a 10 instead of a 3.

it is a cool keyboard but there is nothing astounding other than it is small. i have a razer black widow (if you mac lovers even know what that is) which is WAY better with awesome dedicated macro key than this, but is 4 times the size and 10 times the weight

Aww.... such a kewt keybode..... goochy goochy goo.....

Basically, they took the keyboard from a laptop, and made it a wireless keyboard for a desktop. The only reason being so that you could keep one of your USB slots available. I've read a couple of reviews stating that it goes through batteries like water - which means you have to turn it OFF when you're done ("Sorry honey, I was turning off the computer, and the keyboard, and the mouse").

Be aware this keyboard comes with no HOME or END or forward DELETE button, and that the number keys are gone. Very annoying if you're used to those features.

The wireless mouse is nice - although, mine has lost connection a few times and is disconcerting when it happens ("Honey? The computer's frozen!")

I got these when I purchased the iMac, but you have to remember the iMac was designed for "small footprint" and "portability". SO if you plan on being portable with your computer, then these are great (just remember to turn them off). If your computer is going to sit on a desk, and not use many USB ports (and you don't want to be bothered changing batteries every couple of months) stick with what makes you comfy.

It's a nice small keyboard. Pretty simple and not too many buttons. Just wish it had a Num Pad and it would make inputing numbers in charts and word processor a whole lot easy.

Pros- it is very protable and light.
Cons- it doesnt have a number pad so i dont really like that, it takes some getting used to, and it does have display settings on it wich is great.
It doesnt have the number panel, my mom doesnt like that and complains everytime she uses it and that gets really annoying so im thinking about buying a wired keyboard.
The battery life is very good i bought it about 2 weeks ago and it came with batteries and its about 50% gone and hasnt used much.

I love this keyboard and it works great with my iMac. It doesn't work with my iPad. The iPad sees it but does not pair with it. I don't see other commenting but I can't be the only person with this issue...

I truly love this keyboard, when it works! I frequently have to re-pair and tonight, it pairs partially, meaning, it sees it, but then cannot connect. Painful! The caps light has always worked haphazardly. I have had this system for about a year now. Looks like I will be at Apple, yet again, getting another keyboard... :(

It's okay. I REALLY want the numbers on the side back like a REGULAR keyboard. Like what they used to have! They should give us consumers a choice between the two. I use the numbers on the side a lot since I'm a math geek. :/

I love this new keyboard for its smooth click sound, good response and excellent space saving size. Never had a mac laptop so the function key takes some time getting use to but as a heavy linux shell and emacs user I would gladly trade that function key to have the right control key back.
