Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Spanish

Got this tiny keyboard with my new iMac 27" - so I have this huge screen and this tiny keyboard which is useless. Love the wireless connection and the ergonomics but that's about it. The size and shape and location of keys is almost identical to my old wired keyboard - except that the entire RHS of the keyboard is missing!! This gives lots of inefficiencies, not only the missing delete key (to delete forward), but also the numeric keypad, large functional arrow keys, and also the home, end, page up and page down keys. I really need these keys!!

Added to that they have placed the fn key to the far left of the keyboard where the control key is normally positioned (which has been moved right one space to accommodate the moved fn key) so I am forever pressing the fn key and wondering why my commands aren't working.

I for one am totally unimpressed with this keyboard. It's minimilistic gone mad and has created so many inefficiencies. So I now have the options of either just plugging in my old dirty keyboard, buying a new USB connected full keyboard or buying a trackpad plus 'magic' keypad....crazy.

I like Apple’s Wireless keyboard. It’s very compact and easy to use. Never had problems with Bluetooth connectivity or battery life.

So why did I replace it with a Logitech wireless keyboard? Because what made the keyboard so compact is also what made it very inconvenient for me; the lack of a numeric keypad and other important keys like “Home”, “End”, “Delete”, and page keys.

If you work with numbers and financial documents like I do, I recommend not getting this keyboard. Go with a full-size keyboard with all the useful keys.

On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I give the Apple Wireless keyboard only 2 stars. There are better keyboards out there for less money.

Very frustrated with the wireless keyboard and the separate numeric keyboard. Goes through batteries quickly, loses connection often and hard to get paired again. I also have the track pad and love it. For some reason, it has no problems, but constantly having problems with the keyboards. Also, it takes 10-15 seconds after striking the first key before the computer recognizes the keyboard. I like the feel and idea of bluetooth, but not worth the constant frustration.

Every 2 days I've gotta use new batteries cause this keyboard drains the life out of them. Got rechargeable ones that go in one day. It also has a hard time connecting to blue tooth. The trackpad works better than this. Apple products just don't like me.

This keyboard came standard with my iMac that I purchased in October of 2010. Up until about 3 months ago I thought it worked well despite the fact that the caps lock key would stick randomly (I didn't even need to use it for it "lock" itself) and the caps lock light would turn on or off on it's own and didn't necessarily reflect the use of the key. It's a small keyboard but I have small hands so I got used to it and I'm sure the the cost of the AA batteries it drains has more than paid for the keyboard. NOW the thing has decided to start disconnecting at it's leisure, generally after locking a key I'm using and typing that letter or # about 1000 times. This will happen once or twice during use or even as often as 14 times (yes, I counted), at which point I gave up and walked away. It does this with new batteries and old. My wireless mouse was also randomly disconnecting so now I'm using an old wired mouse but I'm still trying to stick it out with this keyboard. It's disconnected once while typing this review. If you have this keyboard b/c it came with a purchase, great. Use it while you can. If you're looking to buy it as an accessory I wouldn't recommend it.

This keyboard looks very pretty but I am really starting to hate it. I've been using it for several weeks now at work, and I cannot type properly on it. I make a ridiculous number of typing errors now, compared with my old standard keyboard. Since I use my keyboard mostly for typing computer code, I need to be 100% accurate. I also miss the numpad and other shortcut keys like page down, end, etc.

It works like every Apple product, but it is compact so if you're used to Apple's wired keyboard, it's totally different. They need to release a full-size Bluetooth keyboard. I will be returning this one.

This board is very sleek but I am a Final Cut, Motion, Compressor, quick key addict! Now I have to buy an additional keyboard and the only option on Apple site is from another manufacturer. Not cool! The extra $60.00-$70.00 bucks will set me back, or I lose valueable time by not using quick keys. Quick keys are a must for The Pro.

This keyboard looks great, and is a staple if you own any apple computer. But great looking is about as far as it goes. I have had nothing but constant problems with this keyboard - it takes forever to connect, or doesn't connect... or just plain old does whatever it wants (typing the same letter over and over again until I have to take the batteries out). I own two of these, and one of them has a battery permanently stuck inside. I know it's probably because the battery corroded, but why not try to make a little space to work with? Please don't sacrifice reliability for good looks.

So, if you're like me and have to have all matching products, this is your only choice. But don't expect the quality of all other apple products, because this one is a lemon.
