Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Norwegian

I bought this for IPad. It's got a great feel and would work great for extended typing. But it's lacking in the ability to do simple keyboard navigation. For example, there's no way to tab to the next field on a web page or the next field in any app for that matter. There's no way to jump to a different app (like Alt-tab on windows) and no way to jump to a differ. You're forced to use a mix of screen gestures and typing - not ideal for an expert user!

I'm not a Mac user (yet), so some of this may be "normal" for Mac - not sure.

I'd buy the magic trackpad to help (easier than working on a vertical Ipad screen), but that isn't supported.

This is a beautiful mouse--sleek, responsive...and wireless. Problem: It goes through batteries every couple of weeks. I am now trying to find something as comfortable, but unfortunately, w/ a wire. Even buying in bulk, I'll pay for a new mouse in no time w/ the money I save in not buying batteries. An environmental disaster...expensive...and frustrating when working on an important project. Never thought I'd give an Apple product a bad review. I hope I never have to again.

Apple Wireless Keyboard has a very nice, refined, minimalistic design. It looks great in front of your Mac. It's also practical and easy to type.

But there are two problems.

Problem 1: It runs out of batteries quickly. I use this keyboard everyday at work. Before I leave, I turn it off to save batteries. But two AA batteries only last 1-2 months.

Problem 2: It sometimes doesn't find the connection to my computer. When that happens, I turn it off and back on and move it around on my desk but I never know what I'm doing that makes or doesn't make it work.

I purchased this wireless keyboard to replace the dock-type keyboard I had been using with my iPad. I like the wireless keyboard, but am now experiencing the most irritating quirk. I'll be typing and the keyboard will stop reponding and the iPad built-in keyboard will pop up on screen. I have to sit and wait and then the built-in kepboard will go away and the wireless keyboard will work again. In fact, just in the time I've been typing this review, this has happened 5 times! In addition to this probem, sometimes the keyboard will just take off on its own (6 times now, in case you're counting), sometimes the keyboard will just get a mind of its own and keep typing the last letter I hit and it will run with it and the only way to stop it is to rub my hands over the entire keyboard and hit as many keys as I can. Then I have to use the delete key to erase all the 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeee's" or whatever key (7 times now) whatever key happens to go wild. I need the keyboard and like the touch. It could be a (8 times now), It could be a good product, (9 times now), but it is nearly not usable with this flaw. Wish I knew why it is doing what it is doing. Maybe I should just return the product. That's too much money to spend and then not have something reliable.

I have multiple keyboards and only use this one sparingly. The problem is the battery compartment. If you leave unused batteries in there too long, they leak and are effectively cemented inside. You cannot remove them without damaging the keyboard beyond repair. So buy the keyboard if you intend to use it often and replace weak batteries at once. Otherwise, beware.

I would love to say I love this keyboard, but I can't. I generally make a lot of use of both the numeric keypad and the arrow keys. This keyboard has no numeric keypad and the directional arrows are very truncated. I wish Apple would offer a full size wireless keyboard as an alternative. Heck, even allow it to have additional battery capacity due to it's longer length, and I think they would have a winner.

I understand the compact size works well for many. All I am saying is that choice is good, and I wish there was a choice of full size for those who need it and would still like wireless.

I bought a wireless keyboard for my iPad2 because I wanted to journal and type without using the virtual keyboard. Unfortunately, a few weeks into using the keyboard, I have noticed that the keyboard will randomly start to double-type words when I use it. I have gotten so frustrated with it that, having changed batteries, re-paired it with the iPad, and found no solution, I no longer use this. It is now just another expensive piece of technology sitting around at home. I am disappointed with this purchase. Hopefully it will work better when I pair it with the Mac Mini that I plan to buy next year.

The battery compartment holder is stupid, but my keyboard will not work with nickel zinc rechargeables, which have a 1.6 volt output. Also, being a bluetooth device, this thing is a battery hog. My Logitech keyboard runs for months and months on batteries. Other than missing a numeric pad, however, it is a pretty nice unit.

it is a cool keyboard but there is nothing astounding other than it is small. i have a razer black widow (if you mac lovers even know what that is) which is WAY better with awesome dedicated macro key than this, but is 4 times the size and 10 times the weight
