Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Belgian

This is great when it works, but once every week it stops working and then won't reconnect. Would be ok if apple care was open on a Sunday...

Not at all happy with the size of this keyboard. I hate that it is missing the forward delete key. After using this keyboard for less than a month, I began having severe pain in my fingers resembling carpal tunnel. The pain was so great that I had to wear a wrist brace. I recently purchased a gel pad, and the pain has subsided.

This keyboard is an ergonomic nightmare. It rises in the back which causes all the muscles on the top of the forearm to tighten. This same keyboard layout is on my laptop, but the laptop's keyboard is flat. The flat keyboard doesn't hurt my arms and wrists. The angle of the wireless keyboard also slows down how fast I can type. I wanted to have something that was smaller on my desk, but I can't use it. All the ergonomic suggestions are that people have their wrist in neutral to type. This keyboard puts the wrists into extension. It would be better if it were flat. Plus, if it were flat, then it would have more surface contact with the desk so that it wouldn't slide away. This one slides away and injures the wrists and forearms.

I purchased this keyboard with my imac in December of 08 primarily because I liked the idea of a sleek wireless keyboard that could easily be stowed away underneath the screen. And it does indeed look slick and fit under the screen when you just want extra desk space. If I only wanted a keyboard that took up little space and matched the aesthetic of my imac, it would be perfect.

But I also want a keyboard on which I actually enjoy typing--or at the very least, on which it is not continually uncomfortable and frustrating to type. And on that count, despite the many serious attempts I've made to adjust, this keyboard never feels good. The keys feel very hard and uncomfortable; the spacing is extremely cramped (and I have neither big hands nor thick fingers); even the angle of the keyboard feels too flat. Every time I type on it, I feel frustrated and cramped, I make far more mistakes than I do on normal keyboards, and my hands begin to hurt.

Ultimately, though it annoyed me to have to mar the i-mac aesthetic, I purchased a wireless dell mouse and keyboard combo that matches the one I use at work (and which I always found far more natural to use than this one). Every once in a while, I'm tempted to take out this keyboard and give it another try, but within minutes, I remember why it's so uncomfortable and toss it back in my desk drawer. I'm continually amazed that apple pairs great computers with keyboards/mice less functional than those you'd find with any generic pc.

This is the worst keyboard I have ever used. I do not find it useful for anything. Any keyboard is better than this one. It does not feel natural to type on at all.

I bought the previous version and it worked without any problem until I changed the batteries recently, then it just refuses to pair. I contacted Apple and they said, "sorry thats the old version, you should buy the new version"

Checking the web and there are hundreds of similar bluetooth issues, basically the keyboard locks to a user account, so if you change anything drastically with that account the keyboard is effectively locked.

This means you can use it with one machine ONLY for its lifespan.

Looks great, but "it just doesn't work"

The alphanumeric keys are messed... i would love to reset it but (default keyboard setting shortcuts for wireless are like this) using system preferences then keyboard has no volume shortcut no play/forward/rewind/mute/increase-volume/decrease-volume/i had to set up the brightness shortcuts myself/ so pretty much i cant fix it myself

I recently had a spill and ruined my wired keyboard for my iMac. Since I now have an iPad I figured I would replace it with a bluetooth keyboard that I can use for both. I cannot even believe that they do not offer a bluetooth keyboard with the number pad and page up/home/etc buttons! I love my old keyboard and now I am so frustrated because I do not want to buy another wired keyboard, but I do not want this truncated bluetooth either. I guess I have to look at third party keyboards! I have been an apple customer since the //e and am extremely disappointed!

Driving me crazy...the key pad for "D" gets stuck and dI will be typing along and a hundred d's show up! OR...just resting my fingers on the home keys cause the D to go crazy. dddddI I have to order a new one now. Thanks for listening to my problems. PS All of the d's above were spontaneous!! I never know when it is going to happen....
