Reviews for Apple Wireless Keyboard - Norwegian

All in all a very solid product ~ my only reason for not giving a full 5 star rating is because of the slight feeling i get from time to time that it is on the smaller side even though it is distinctly the same full size chicklet keyboard from my MBPro.

I combined this with the wireless Trackpad so my MBPro could sit up on a stand on my desk for times when i'm stationary and don't want to be hunched over the laptop for hours on end. The two of these products make it so much more comfortable to work at my desk.

A great addition to any busted keyboards or simply to stop reinacting The Hunchback of Notre Dame every time you write for more than 45 mins.


Cheers

Excellent keyboard, but I wish it were full-sized. It types well especially if you are used to apple laptop keyboard and with the magic track-pad, it's a great match-up.

I love this little thing, I bought this at JB HI FI. $100 I thought must be a great little thing. Smooth, Light, Portable. Playing WoW on my TV in bed with this Keyboard and my Logitech M305 Wireless mouse is so much easier then straining my back in a chair. Only problem I have is the fact It will say Connection Lost then Connected again. Not sure if it's the Keyboard, My New MacBook Pro which has Mac OS 10.6.7 I'm just lost as to what it would be. Maybe it's to do with the Keyboard putting itself to sleep (if it does). I hope someone has had the same problem or someone that knows what's going on can Let me Know.

I short it one star because Apple really could give it a forward delete key (shave the right-hand Shift key to add a skinny forward delete, for example). It is a pain to have to make do by holding down the fn key while using the regular Delete.

I don’t understand anyone complaining about it being hard to type on. After a day or two I was happy as a lark with this petite, attractive thing. But alas, after a year, I spilled a seventy-dollar glass of wine on it (the cost of a new keyboard)... and it is a shame I didn’t get to drink all of it at that price (the part that spilled).

So I’ve had to plug in the old standard keyboard to get by for a day or two, and man let me tell you, what a clunky old piece of archaic equipment. Seemed I had to push WAY down on the keys and, well, clunky is the word. I can type faster on the aluminum keyboard without having to give my fingers such a workout.

You Get What You Paid For

I got this wireless keyboard a Futureshop yesterday. The product is in stellar condition, the built quality is excellent and it is SO small compared to PC keyboards :).

It takes a bit of time to get used to the keyboard. It has NO keyboard flex whatsoever and the keys seem to be very responsive.

I'm using the keyboard with an Acer 3820tg laptop, and its integrated bluetooth module. It took less than five minutes to set up and works perfectly with the module (I my Logitech wireless keyboard and even my Microsoft mouse working).

The keyboard is compact yet very sturdy and looks very resistant. The only downsides are that the functions keys do not work when used with a PC (even the play/pause/etc buttons) and that there is no delete key (when used with a pc). It instead is used as a backspace. In windows you can delete something with Ctrl+D, but in applications you often need the real delete key. I heard that the software "EventGhost" could adress the issue.

It's the 2th apple product that I've bought in my life (1st one was an iPod Touch) and I am very satisfied with my products as they just work PERFECTLY. My next plan: Get a Apple laptop!

I'm new to Mac, so with my purchase of a Mac Mini and a MacBook Air, I decided to complete my collection and spring for the Magic Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard.

First off, out of the box, it's ready to go, batteries and all. It's extremely simple to connect to your computer, and you don't have to worry about turning it on and off all the time to save the battery (there's a built-in 'sleep' mode).

The only downside is that Apple doesn't offer a wireless keyboard with a numeric pad ... something that some people like, but others need. While my wife won't be doing her college math homework on one, I love everything else about this keyboard.

Recommendation: Unless you absolutely have to have a numeric pad, this is the keyboard that goes perfectly with your Mac!

I use my keyboard with my iPad to type notes in class and it is great but it would be so much better if you had a case for it!

This kerfuffle about no numeric keypad on the mac wireless keyboard reminds me of falling in love with the "perfect" person...only to want them to change once you have your claws into him or her. The wireless keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad...because it doesn't. Apple products are about aesthetics as much as design and features. Aesthetics are what true Apple Heads have always coveted. Apple does its best to meld the three. But in the end, it has to feel like art. And if utilitarian aspects, like a numeric keypad, detract from its beauty, lightness/contour, and tactile experience...it has to be jettisoned. This is what all the PC converts to Mac have to understand. Otherwise, break up with Apple and find something else. But don't compromise a beautifully designed Apple product. (Apple please don't start compromising your aesthetics to comply with the masses who are just discovering your products. True AppleHeads have always known who they are and don't want to be brought down several levels. Keep doing what you've always done: making art.)
