Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Belgian

The wireless keyboard does not have a number pad or a USB. So now when I need to attach my camera, I have to fish around behind the screen to use a USB. The keypad is an important part of the keyboard for me and without it I'm greatly hindered. Not a wise purchase for me. I sure was looking forward to going completely wireless. Guess not.

Excelent device, But one thing! what about the BackLight?, i had been working with my Macbook Pro a long time and when i saw this keyboard i think well could be better for me to work a long distance with a Wireless Keyboard, but in darkness you lose everything. This need backlight in the keyboard.

I'm an ex-microsoft pc user. Bought my iMac December,2009. I LOVE the iMac and will never go back to pc. I LOVE the Magic Mouse!
I HATE the keyboard - it has no mass- it feels 2 dimensional, it propels itself across the desk as if typing on a piece of cardboard. The keys have no 'throw' and no hollow for your fingertips to feel. After a month I found it impossible to deal with. A friend of mine gave me an old clear bottom Apple keyboard - a plug in - with two additional USB connects on the rear! Now my iMac is Totally perfect. I would not recommend this keyboard to anyone who is human.

Let's be real, here. If you buy an EXTERNAL keyboard to use via bluetooth, it is most likely because you wanted a fully functioning keyboard... NOT a keyboard which is just as annoyingly incomplete as the annoyingly incomplete keyboard on your laptop!!!

Number keys... a REAL "Delete" and "Backspace" key (which Mac still insists on reversing, calling backspace delete, and delete ..."forward delete."

Come on Apple.

I'm trying VERY hard to move to Mac from Windows...and have many Apple products now including phone, itouch, iPad, MacBook Pro. But COME ON!!

Full-Size key-set, or I'll never buy or recommend another Apple Wireless Keyboard.
By the way, I'm a tech trainer for a school district adopting Apple on a huge scale.
My opinion will be, and is shared by hundreds.
You are losing sales because of your devotion to "simplicity"...that is blind to NECESSITY.

Since I bought the key board it stops working after a few days because it says the batteries are dead. Thinking about changing it to a wired keyboard.

Alright, I was hoping they would have seen the error of their ways, but still no number pad?!? This product has its uses sure, but trying to work in a professional environment in any field pretty much requires a number pad's input.

Functionally, the Apple Wireless Keyboard does what it's supposed to do... until you try to type in a phone number on your address book... or open the Calculator application when you are paying bills... or add number cells on your Excel spreadsheet.

Apple made the keyboard "cute" but removed the important keypad on the right side. Don't think you'll miss it? I did.

Otherwise, the keyboard works great until your batteries go dead.

It's missing too many well used keys, such as the navigation keys (home and end) the PC delete key, and the number pad. The size is nice but it doesn't make up for the lack of keys.

Although the keyboard works great and makes typing easy on the iPad there are a few issues that Apple should find a way to correct quickly.

1. There are no keyboard shortcuts for the following iPad uses: Home Screen, Photo Frame, Search
2. Adding shortcuts like page reload for safari, enabling the up/down arrows in mail, keyboard shortcuts like reply in mail would be awesome.

From what I can see the keyboard with dock attached that is coming out at the end of April has all of the items from #1 addressed but not sure about #2.

A fix on these would be much appreciated.

Im so mad about this wireless keyboard. I bought it around halloween for my iMac OS X (10.5.8), and it is not working for it. I have downloaded all the necessary upgrades for it, and still nothing. It works for my mother's Mini Mac and its a later version. Some one plz help me!
