    No numeric pad

    Working in InDesign, I need the numeric pad to make keyboard shortcuts. No numeric pad=no short cuts. That means slower work with this keyboard. I do like the light, wireless, clean(!!) design. No crumbs are stuck down inside my keyboard. Loving it. But working slow. . .

    Let's Keep It Real

    I read some of these reviews and quite frankly I was a bit irritated! First of all let me say that this keyboard is the best I have ever used. The feedback you get from the keyboard is perfect. Not to light or heavy. The design is great! If you turn off the keyboard there is no issues during transport. Let me end by saying that if you are looking for a great keyboard that won't brake the bank then look no further because you found it.

    Case fused and was not fixable...junk. Apple was no help! It is a poorest product yet from Apple.

    Rounded up to a two, but really APPLE is not using hardly any of its design skills on this one. AA Batteries, really? They couldn't figure out how to make it chargeable? because I'm pretty sure they have the chargeable-small-device thing figured out.
    also, the thing starts warning me that batteries are low when they're still almost half charged. So now it's been warning me regularly for the last month and a half, it's pretty annoying. And there should be a keyboard lock built into it so it does not turn your laptop on when you accidentally hit a key (or which happens easily in your backpack.) Aside from being super-irritating I think this drains the keyboard batteries.To get around this you need to always remember to turn your bluetooth off on your computer when not using the keyboard, and/or take the batteries out of the keyboard. lame!
    BTW the keyboard itself works fine to type on, but if that's all I needed I would buy a corded one and save some $

    I liked this keyboard a lot until the batteries corroded and fused the battery compartment shut. Apparently this is a common failing of AAs. The 'sleek' design is now working against me as there is no way to get it open. Had to buy a whole new keyboard!

    Great keyboard...until it inexplicably died

    I didn't use it that much and it worked great for a while but this morning, it inexplicably died. I've had it for less than a year.

    I'll be buying a cheaper bluetooth keyboard if this is what the reliability will be.

    Get your hands on it and you'll know that I'm not babbling. I would expect an upgrade, though, after 4 years.

    The keyboard is nice and most importanly is very compact. No questions - I love it. It has one downside: power switch. I mean you can turn it off and on, but the stupid keyboard turning on by itself while I am carrying it my backpack on the way to school, and the most terrible thing it turns Itunes on, so I walk like a boombox (tanks God Ipads are not that loud) till I notice.

    Functions great, but not durable.

    I bought this keyboard about a month ago and I use it exclusively with my iPad. I carry it in my back pack in the laptop section of my bag. I've had to replace three keys already. I couldn't find a sturdy case for just the keyboard only while searching online, so I built a sturdy wooden box out of oak boards and lined the inside of the box with foam that I picked up at a craft store. I definitely recommend getting a case for this if you plan on carrying it around like I do. Otherwise, you'll be paying about $6 per every key that breaks.

    Needs backlit keys like the Mac laptops

    It's okay. No complaints from me about battery life or reliability. Nice weight and balance to it. The keys do seem to attract grime and dirt easily.
    Biggest problem is that it needs the awesome backlighting that most of the Mac laptops have. (I would happily sacrifice tons of battery life if that's what it takes.) The backlit keys of my MacBook Air are so awesome, yet when I hook it up to the TV and take this wireless keyboard to the couch I lose that great feature.

    Not energy efficient; Hard to clean keys

    • Written by from Miami Beach

    13 of 22 people found this useful

    Negative - Uses a lot battery life; has problems pairing so you can be typing and no words all of a sudden;can't clean the keys easily - no pop off like other key boards - so if you snack or spill this isn't for you

    Pros - NIce looking, keys are soft to use, no wires

    Not convenient enough for the price

    • Written by from Wilkes Barre

    38 of 50 people found this useful

    I bought an iPad to use during meetings and therefore bought the keyboard as a more convenient way to take notes, send emails, etc. While the keyboard works in theory, some of the main functions like CTRL+A do not work. I called Apple.com, assuming that there may be a problem with the keyboard and was informed that this is simple a incompatibility issue between the ipad and the keyboard. While i understand the issue at hand, i suppose the fact that they clearly offer this as a compatible accessory to the ipad 2, that it should be just that...fully compatible. Poor representation on their website. I would have bought a keyboard, but not for $70. $70 and 2 batteries should offer me full compatibility...not half way there.

    NOT WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION

    • Written by from Decatur

    I have bought 3, YES THREE, of this product, and each time, one has failed me. The delete key breaks and stops working, the KB will go wacko and just unabatedly enter the same key without me touching a thing. And many others issues.

    I BOUGHT THREE OF THESE

    this must show it's a piece of junk. i like it's size and it's user-friendliness, and all the fancy aspects of it, but i have given up on it.
