The apple wireless keyboard makes the iPad so much easier to use. You can do all the commands that are possible with a mac. The only reason I didn't give the keyboard 5 stars is because it's a bit on the expensive side.

This is a must have, it you are planning on using your iPad for a true document editor. Its is crazy responsive and truly expands the i pad's capabilities closer towards being a very good net book. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, and the battery lasts a very long time.

My only beef is that, when you turn this thing off, it still wakes itself up and reconnects to your iPad at the most inconvenient times! I wish that there was a hard On/Off switch instead of the button one. I guess I could take out the battery, but thats a hassle!

The "other" computer makers can learn a thing or two for ease of set up and simplicity when it comes to adding/connecting devices. This keyboard along with the wireless mouse I bought with it installed on my iMac without a hitch. I was up and running within 2-3 minutes without the hassle of putting in a cd, downloading updates, etc like I did with my PC when I wanted to add peripherals to it. The only minor gripe about this keyboard is the lack of a numeric keypad, but to me I could live without it.

I purchased this for my iPad. The keyboard paired instantly and works beautifully. I had a bit of trouble pairing with my laptop but realized it was because it was still paired with my iPad which was close by. I turned off my iPad and, voila! Instant pairing with the laptop. My only problem with this awesome little keyboard is that I'm not sure how to turn it off/on. Otherwise, it is really a great, compact, little keyboard that is super easy to use.

I've had my keyboard for a few months. I was using a windows keyboard with my Macbook Pro. I bought it mainly to save space because my desk is very small. It took about a month to get used to the smaller keyboard. I had to get used to my fingers finger positioning closer together. I am now used to my keyboard and my typing speed has gotten much faster since the keys are flat and my fingers are closer together. I prefer my Apple Wireless keyboard to the external windows keyboard. The batter life is good and it's very easy to connect to my Mac. A good investment.

So this keyboard is great except for the one thing that I knew about when buying it but didn't think I would miss....the number pad.

Pros: Great battery life (I've read other reviews on here that say their battery has only made it two weeks?? Mine's gone two months and I'm still at 84%. Just turn the keyboard off when you're not using it.) Lightweight & easy to move. Quick connection.

Cons: I still haven't adjusted to the keyboards on the new Macs, I liked my 1st gen MacBook Pro. No number pad - again, which I knew when buying it.

Overall: Great keyboard if you know that you will never miss the number pad.

I'm typing this on an iPad right now. The keyboard itself and pairing process was seamless like with all Apple products. Having been said, there are, as previously stated, no shortcuts for really, anything useful, such as:

--Activate Home Screen
--Highlight URL bar in Safari
--Navigation of Email Messages in Mail

Some things that do work:
--F1-2 Control Brightness
--F7 Goes Back one Track in iPod
--F8 Plays/Pauses Track in iPod
--F9 Skips Ahead one Track in iPod
--F10 Mutes Volume
--F11-12 Adjusts Volume Level
--Eject brings up the on screen keyboard (useless)

Command X C and V still Cut, Copy and Paste.
Command+[Left/Right] traverses to beginning/end of line.
Option+[Left/Right] traverses by word.
Holding Shift + Arrows allows for text selection.

Great product. iPad software needs to better handle its actions

I find that most reviews on this product are incorrect; based on the customer's lack of knowledge when it comes to Apple shortcuts. One thing I learned switching to Mac is that everything is at my fingertips if I just learn the tricks and make them a habit. Although I DO wish there was a wireless version with numeric pad (like my old iMac wireless keyboard from 2 years ago which has one), I've learned that most of my iMac keys are unnecessary because I've found ways around them on my MacBook - ways around which don't take up more time or effort - and now I don't even use the full keyboard (except for the numeric pad). Apple shortcuts should become second nature, like activating signals in a car -- and what Apple has done is streamlined their keyboards so that they're all the same, instead of desktops having a completely different setup than laptops. Basically, everyone who complained about a lack of page up/page down keys or 'delete forward', etc, didn't think to try the FN key; and complaining about wanting more buttons to increase productivity is hypocritical if you haven't figured out the shortcuts by now. THAT is what will make your productivity fast as lightning. The tinier keyboard taught me how to work faster.
